And since it's just for me/is just on my phone I don't have to care about what I write about or whether I'll get any engagement **Developer response:** Glad to hear you like it, SqrClouds 👏. Time Atlas is supposed to be primarily private to you, so no social media or engagement needed. You can have it entirely passive and automatic, but occasional customization and tune-up can be fun too 😊. Also, privacy is really important to us – we don't see any of your data, ever!

It’s great to recall visits and important events such as holidays and trips. The link to photos is also useful and I’ve also used it to remind me of the names of great cafes and and restaurants I have visited, particularly away from home when overseas. It also provides a useful summary of my exercise. It’s a great “journey journal” without having to keep and write a separate journal. **Developer response:** Amazing 🤙! A "journey journal" is kind of what we're going for. We hope that Time Atlas can be an automatic journal, so you specifically don't need to maintain a separate one. A lot of improvements coming very soon – keep an eye out and let us know what you think.

I love how easy it is to use and how much the functionality is there to get in the weeds of the data of your day if you want to, or just let it run and get the bigger picture. So excited to see what happens as the app continues to develop! **Developer response:** Thanks for the lovely words, Morgan 👋! We are moving pretty fast now and have big plans for the next few months – so stick around. You're already in our Discord but here's the link for anyone else reading this: https://discord.gg/zwJEYNdsPE. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2026-08-14* I'm sorry. But this app. I'd a rip off. I use polar steps currently. And it does everything this does. And more. And it's free. **Developer response:** Time Atlas is also free. Similar to Polar Steps, which is a great app, it has a paid Plus subscription. Time Atlas is for tracking everyday life, not only travels. ### 5/5 — Great documenting app for memories *2026-07-22* The biggest challenge for me journaling is taking the time to remember what I did and putting it on paper. Since this is automated I can focus on journaling other things in my life. I do wish the journaling aspect is a little more robust but for what it offers, it will probably keep me more consistent on actually doing it. ### 5/5 — Life Tracking Done Well *2026-07-07* I have been looking for a long time for a frictionless way to record my life. I’ve tried DayOne, Path, Polar Steps, Fog of World… nothing stuck. Time Atlas was just what I needed and records what I want in a clear and simple way. Solid app and look forward to seeing it develop. ### 5/5 — Love this app! This really helps me recall my trip and the places I’ve been with detailed stats! 😊 *2026-06-10* I’m visiting KTM, Nepal and seeing all the places I’ve been is fantastic! It’s actually amazing! I use the app daily! Especially more now since I travel. 📍✈️ I go on this app daily to see my past few weeks of where I’ve been and what I’ve done and it’s very nicely built / organized. The fact that this has weather data, can see the steps and the map of where I’ve visited is absolutely amazing! The devs are super nice and they listen to feedback very well. All together a very fun app to recall any moment. Whether you’re travelling or you’re in your own city! **Developer response:** Thanks for your kind words 🙏! We are happy you're getting benefit on so many levels. Good luck with your travels in Nepal! ### 2/5 — cooks the phone up *2026-05-14* as much as i love the app, for some reason latest updates has this app cooking my phone up **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback 🙏! The previous update had a problem with how the app manages photos, which in rare cases caused excessive repetitive processing. It has now been fixed. Please update to version 1.2.2 or later. Hopefully you can keep loving the app 🙂! Contact us at info@timeatlaslabs.com if you continue experiencing issues. You can also join our Discord to talk to us directly: https://discord.gg/zwJEYNdsPE. ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect! *2026-03-20* Thank you Devs. Your app is really good. It checks all my boxes for used case the only problem which is a big one for me is the battery drain. Its uses too much juice. I hope there is a way to optimize this. **Developer response:** Thanks for our kind words. There is now an "ECO mode" in the app (in the Settings), which allows you to trade less battery drain with less accurate tracking. ## Frequently asked questions about Time Atlas ### What is Time Atlas?
