Unlock Earth turns your real GPS activities into a permanent collection of places you've actually moved through. Connect Strava once. From then on, every qualifying run, ride, hike or ski is automatically checked against real municipality boundaries — sourced from official government and international open-data providers, not approximations. Cover enough distance inside a municipality's real boundary in one activity, and it's yours: permanently unlocked, even if you later delete the activity from Strava. HOW IT WORKS • Connect your Strava account — no manual map or import steps, ever. • Your history syncs automatically, including in the background while the app is closed. • Meet the distance rule inside a real boundary, and that place unlocks for good. • Be the first person ever to unlock a municipality, and claim a World First. WHAT YOU GET • A permanent, personal collection of every place you've earned • Dozens of achievements, from your first unlock to conquering an entire country • Real municipality boundaries, independently verified against authoritative sources — not guesses • Full support for running, hiking, cycling, gravel, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and backcountry skiing COVERAGE Unlock Earth launches with Europe and Australia fully available — real, independently verified boundary data for every included country. The rest of the world (Africa, Asia, the Americas and the rest of Oceania) is planned as ongoing region-by-region updates after launch. The app always shows exactly what's unlocked, what's live, and what's still coming. PRIVACY Unlock Earth never sells your data. Your GPS routes are used only to determine what you've unlocked. Delete your account and all your data, permanently, any time from the app.
