About

CountryLogs

Features
Read full description

Collect a stamp while you’re in each country. Open the app, capture the moment and see your collection grow in your passport. You add each stamp yourself, using your current country and city and today’s date. CountryLogs never records visits automatically or in the background. Like a passport, each stamp belongs to a place and a moment. You can’t add past trips, backdate visits or change recorded countries. Open each stamp to revisit its recorded cities and dates. Explore your collection in the atlas and share a stamp or a monthly or yearly recap. Recaps count recorded days, not the full duration of your trips. Start with 100 free records. Saved records and pending locations count toward this allowance. Viewing your passport and history, sharing and manual backups remain free. Premium lets you keep recording beyond the free allowance. Choose annual access or a one-time lifetime purchase. Every plan uses manual stamping with your current location and date; lifetime access does not add automatic tracking or past trips. Premium includes Home Screen widgets for iPhone and iPad, with your recorded collection and a shortcut to stamp. Optional reminders can be enabled in Settings to help you remember to stamp.
