CountryLogs

Read full description

CountryLogs is a digital passport for your travels. Instead of typing where you've been, you stamp it — once a day, from wherever you are, using nothing but your phone's GPS. Every country you visit gets a real stamp on a real page of a passport book you can flip through, zoom into, and share. It's a journal, not a tracker. There's no background location. No "import from your flights". No way to backfill yesterday. Just open the app, tap the stamp, and that one country is part of your story forever. WHAT YOU GET - NEW — A collectible Passport. One stamp per day, keyed to the country you were physically standing in. Open the cover, flip through spreads, zoom into any page, and share the cover or a page as an image. Each country gets its own deterministic shape, ink color, and rotation — derived from the country itself, so the same place always gets the same stamp. - The stamping moment. When you log a new country, the stamp drops onto the page with a satisfying thunk — the exact stamp that's now in your book. - An Atlas with two views: • Pins — every track placed on a real-world map • Heatmap — your visited countries colored by lifetime days - A monthly Calendar where every day shows the flag of where you were. - Your Ledger — countries ranked by lifetime days, each with a colored bar showing how much of your travel life it represents. - Stats — total countries, cities, kilometers traveled, and highest elevation reached. - Home Screen Widget. Small, medium, or large. Your heatmap and your stats, always one glance from the lock screen. Requires iOS 17 or later. - Editorial design — Fraunces serif, vintage passport tones, no primary-color blues or reds. The aesthetic of a travel magazine, not another tech app. - Light and dark mode, both crafted from the same warm-paper palette. - Export your data anytime as JSON. It's your journal — you own it. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most travel apps ask you to type, swipe, or import. CountryLogs asks you to be there. Your log is only as honest as your GPS allows it to be — and that's the point. The countries on your map are the countries you actually visited. Whether you're a globetrotter, a digital nomad, or someone keeping a slow record of weekends abroad, CountryLogs gives you a passport that means something — a book you can hold, page through, and share — because every stamp had to be earned in person. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
