Every road tells a story. Untraced makes sure you never lose them again. Drive like you normally do. In the background, Untraced quietly records your trips and reveals the roads you've driven on your own personal map — building a living atlas of everywhere you've actually been, one drive at a time. NEVER FORGET A ROAD Untraced turns every trip into progress. The backroad on the way to the coast, the detour that turned out better than the plan — it's all recorded, mapped, and yours to look back on. AUTOMATIC, EFFORTLESS TRACKING Turn on auto-detection once and Untraced takes it from there. Drives start and stop themselves — no taps, no timers, no forgetting to hit record. Built to sip battery, so it runs quietly in the background all day. WATCH YOUR ATLAS GROW Every drive lights up new roads on your map. Earn XP, level up, and unlock badges as you cover more distance, explore more cities, and build longer streaks. RELIVE YOUR DRIVES Every trip gets its own detail view with route, distance, speed and stats. Turn any drive into a shareable story card for your favorite roads and biggest discoveries. ORGANIZE INTO CHAPTERS Group drives into chapters — a road trip, a season, a chapter of your life — and share the whole story at once. FULLY LOCALIZED Untraced is available in English and German, with more languages on the way. UNTRACED PRO Go further with an optional subscription: • Complete drive history, forever (free tier keeps your last 30 days) • Neon and Minimal share card styles • Monthly and yearly recap, with a time-lapse of your progress • Scrub the fog through time to see your atlas as it grows • Custom map ink and backdrop colors, applied throughout the app • Full city and country collection, tracked automatically Untraced only uses your location to detect and record drives — never to track you outside the car. Your trips stay yours. Your roads. Your story. Untraced. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
