Alight Map reads the places your photos already remember, and lights up every city you've walked — one by one — on a world map that belongs to you alone. No check-ins. No travel logs to keep. Your photos have been quietly recording where you've been all along; Alight Map simply brings that memory to light. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR MAP • Every photo with a location becomes a ray of light on a dark, night-sky world map • Cities shine brighter the more life you've left in them • Open any city's archive: the years, the places, the visits, and every photo you took there A WEEKLY POSTCARD • Four numbers from your week, drawn as a small constellation • Share the card, or save it back to your library RELIGHT THE PAST • Old photos without coordinates? Search the city and set their light on the map yourself, by hand PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Everything is computed on your iPhone • We read only the time and place each photo carries — your photos never leave your device • No accounts, no uploads, no tracking The map only Alight Map can draw is the one you've been drawing your whole life.
