## What is Unlock & Pin?

Unlock & Pin is a personal travel companion that helps you remember where you've been and what you did while you're still living it.

Instead of visiting places to forget later, Unlock & Pin lets you pin moments directly onto the map, like collecting Polaroids of your journey. 

Whether it's a lookout you stumbled across, a café you want to come back to, or a town that surprised you, each pin becomes a small snapshot of a memory tied to the place it happened.

As you explore, the map gradually unlocks around you, turning the real world into an open-world game.

What you can do:
- Save places as visual memory pins on the map.
- Unlock new regions as you explore the world.
- Add photos and notes to remember key moments that made a place special.
- Revisit your journey through a simple visual timeline.

Why Unlock & Pin:
Unlock & Pin was created for people who love exploring but don't want the pressure of keeping a travel journal. It's for food lovers, road trippers, and anyone who wants a simple way to remember their travels.

About the app:
Unlock & Pin is an independent project built with care and intention.
Unlock & Pin supports pins worldwide. Sub-region collection varies by country and will continue expanding over time.

Free & Standard Plan:
The free version allows you to unlock the map as you explore and save a limited number of memories. 
A one-time Standard upgrade unlocks unlimited pins and access to future features such as custom travel bucket lists.
