Your wanders, on one living globe. Wandrd is a travel tracker built around one idea: every country you've visited should live somewhere you can spin and fill in over time. Tap to add a visit, write a few lines about what made the trip, and watch your world light up. In the app • A globe that rotates, zooms, and lights up every country you've ticked off • Country detection that quietly notices when you cross a border • Stories: dates, a short note, and a year-by-year timeline • Travel stats: world completion, continents, streaks, favourite continent • Country detail: distance, flight time, climate by month, capital, currency • Wishlist and home base, so days abroad and distance from home just work No sign-up. Just start. Wandrd works without an account. Track your wanders straight away on the device you have. Add an account later if you want to sync across devices or back up. Your data stays yours.
