## What is RONDO?

Not just photos — videos become records too. Your records quietly turn into a film. RONDO builds memory movies automatically from a single day, an album, a category, or your ten most-visited places. Video clips are woven in, and you choose the length and the aspect ratio before you save or share.

Keep the places you have been, and how they felt, quietly on a map.
A place journal for yourself, not for an audience.

“That café, what was it that tasted so good?”
“The inn we stayed at last year, what was it called?”
“That park. I would like to go back sometime.”

What if you could leave those on a map, too?


Main features

- Layer records onto a place
Photos, a short note, a five-star rating and tags, right where you are. Weather and temperature are saved for you, and the records build up each time you return.

- Videos, just as they were
When you want the sound and the movement too, record a video. Add it to a memo and it becomes a clip in your memory movie.

- The moment it occurs to you
Record Here Now pins your current location in a single tap, the instant you think of it.

- Even without a photo
Record in one tap from the places your iPhone already remembers. A whole trip can be added at once.

- Unnamed places, just as they are
For spots that are not tied to a shop or a venue, there is Snap. A lookout on a mountain pass, a bench by the river, an alley with no name. They stay on your map.

- Adjust photos and videos on the spot
Exposure, color, cropping and filters, inside the app. For video, choose the part you want, then crop or rotate it. The original is kept, so you can always go back.

- Look back on a day
A log screen where the map and the timeline are one. Spots, photos, steps and distance line up as a summary of the day.

- Trips and days, as albums
Trips, weekend outings, a run of favorite cafés. Memories spanning several days gather into a single album, together with the map.

- A map that becomes yours
Every place you record appears as a pin. Filter by tag, category or rating, and your habits, and the places you still want to go, start to show.

- Trace memories through the calendar
A calendar where every date carries a photo. One tap takes you to the same day a week, a month or a year ago.

- Turn a place into a card
Share a note or a spot you liked as a single card image.

- Look back through data
Streaks, a year of activity, and how far your map has spread, all in the Data tab.

- Your iPhone takes a little of the writing off you
It tidies the hesitations out of dictated notes, offers a question to start an empty one, and suggests tags that fit what you wrote. The text is made on your iPhone alone and never sent anywhere.


Also included

- Pull up a recorded place from iPhone search or Siri
- Proximity alerts that quietly bring back past notes as you pass by
- Home screen widgets in three sizes
- Steps and distance imported automatically through HealthKit
- Standard and satellite map switching
- Optimized for iPad and landscape
- Available in 11 languages


What RONDO is

- Not a social network
No posting, no followers, no likes.

- Not a review site
Not scores or public opinion, just what you felt.

- It stays in iCloud
Records live only on your device and in iCloud. Nothing is sent to outside servers, and no account is needed. Text generation also happens on your iPhone alone.

- Any kind of place
Cafés, travel, a small place you found on a walk. All onto your map.

- Made by one developer, slowly
No ads, no subscriptions. Updates keep coming.


Leave today’s memory on the map.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.4.0 — 2026-08-24

Background movement tracking

RONDO can now record your location periodically even when the app isn’t open, and draw the day’s route on the map. Even on days you forgot to log anything, you can look back later. Enable it under Movement Tracking in Settings.

- Hide any time range you’d rather not show, such as sleep or a ride in someone else’s car. The original data is kept, so you can bring it back at any time.
- Choose from three levels of accuracy: High, Standard and Low. Higher accuracy gives a smoother track, and a preview in Settings lets you compare them.
- Recap videos animate the track in chronological order, so the route and the order you visited places read at a glance.
- Track data is stored only on your device and in your iCloud, and is never sent to any external server.

New and improved

- Tap the track on the map to switch its display or open the edit menu.
- Tapping the track shows the distance moved and the hours it covers. The editor also shows the distance that remains after hiding a stretch.
- The Data summary now shows steps and walking distance plus total distance moved, including travel by car or train.
- The vertical line in the timeline is tinted with a gradient by time of day, making the shape of a day easier to read.
- Unsaved photos appear one by one at the time they were taken, so shots between two places sit naturally in between.
- Unsaved photos taken in a row at the same place can be logged together as a single entry.
- If a place already has an entry from the same day, you can add the photo to it instead of creating a new one.
- Settings has a new Permissions section. Check location, notifications, photos and Health at a glance, and change anything that isn’t set right there.
- When a permission is missing or Health data isn’t coming through, the cause and what to do about it are now shown clearly.
- Records from the same date in past years can be seen and opened on any day, not just today.
- Added a Back to Today button to return to the current day from the calendar or timeline in one tap.
- Tuned the drawing speed in recap videos and adjusted the framing so places near the edge are no longer cut off.
- When picking photos, press and hold to see a larger preview.
- Fine-tuned photo sizes in the timeline and place details for easier scrolling and better legibility.
- Reordered the settings by importance.

Fixes

- Improved tap detection on the track so it works even where recorded points are far apart.
- Fixed an issue where Edit This Day’s Track sometimes did not open.
- You can now move an entry to a different place, so there’s no need to delete and recreate it.
- Fixed a bug where the Cancel button was missing from the delete confirmation dialog.
- Fixed a bug where switching dates left the previous day’s state behind and the Log list appeared blank.
- Fixed a bug where tapping a business pin on the map could open a record from a different location.
- Adjusted the contrast of some very small text for better readability.

### 3.3.1 — 2026-08-17

You can now narrow the map by category
Pick a category above the list and only that kind stays. The pins on the map are filtered along with it, so when you are looking for a café, only cafés remain on screen.

Bookmark a place you searched for, right there
Just tap the bookmark to the right of a place you found and it goes into your want-to-go list. No detour through registering it as a spot first. Places you have already recorded are shown as such.

Check places you haven’t recorded against the real view
When a place you searched for or picked on the map has no records yet, you now see the real view of that spot. The storefront tells you whether it’s the place you had in mind, which a name and address alone never did.

Map search is faster. Suggestions appear as you type, and only places from the area you are looking at come back.
When one of your own records is near a place you found, the distance from it now appears. It tells you where the place is faster than an address does.
When you record from a photo that has a location, the spot where it was taken now appears as a marker on the map.
When you pick a place on the map, your location now shows as a blue dot, clearly apart from the spot pins.
The filter screen now shows everything as soon as it opens.
Fixed: opening “Choose from your notes” for the cover photo sometimes stayed empty. You can also now tell when it is still loading.
Fixed: memories containing videos did not play in chronological order. Photos and videos now run in the order you captured them.

### 3.3.0 — 2026-08-15

A list of places you want to go
You can now see your bookmarked places as a list, regardless of the area the map is showing. They are sorted by distance, so the places you can reach right now come first. Open it from the bookmark at the top right of the map.

Swipe through the photos in your log
In a day’s log, multiple photos can now be swiped through sideways. Portrait and landscape shots are no longer cropped — each one appears just as you took it.

Sort and filter the places you want to go
Choose “Oldest first” and the places you still haven’t made it to come to the top. As the list grows you can narrow it by category, and the count, the distance to the nearest place, and the number of categories are visible at a glance.

Added “Home” and “Work” categories, so the places you go most are easy to spot on the map.
The bookmark and filter at the top right of the map are now one connected button.
The nearby places list now shows an arrow, so it is clear that tapping does not add anything yet.
Fixed an issue where the filter was not applied to the list of places you want to go.
Fixed an issue where photos could stay blank when you moved through several days in a row. If loading takes a while, that is now shown.

### 3.2.2 — 2026-08-14

Fixed a crash while writing a memo
Fixed an issue where the app could quit right after you added a photo and confirmed your typed text. It mostly affected people who had not used tags yet.

Fixed the log jumping back to today
Fixed an issue where opening and closing a record while viewing a past day sent you back to today. The day you were looking at now stays put.

Fixed an issue where a Memory for a past day added the next day's steps and distance as well.
Suggestions in \u201cPhotos from this day\u201d are now photos only. Videos can still be added from \u201cAdd photo or video\u201d.

### 3.2.1 — 2026-08-12

Fixed a crash while recording
Fixed an issue where the app could quit after choosing a photo or while writing a memo. Nothing you had already written is lost.

Fixed videos getting stuck while importing
Fixed an issue where, after picking a video, the app could stay on “Loading” and never come back. If it takes too long, you can now stop it right there.

Made the automatic cleanup more cautious so records and photos are never tidied away by mistake.
Fixed an issue where the welcome screens could not be passed if Location Services were turned off.
