Open Planark anywhere. See what's worth exploring around you. No search box. No chatbot. No list asking where you want to go. Just open it — and the region organises itself around you. Ever arrived somewhere new and wondered what's actually nearby? Not the tourist checklist. The wine region an hour away. The coastal park you didn't know existed. The small towns worth a half-day stop. That's what Planark shows you — before you even ask.

Keep the drives you never want to forget. Milepost turns every route into a visual Roadbook of the car, photos, notes, and moments that made it yours. RECORD THE ROAD Start before you pull away, and Milepost records your GPS route, distance, active time, and speed. When available, it adds weather along the way. Drop a quick mark when something matters, then add the detail once you’re parked. TURN DRIVES INTO ROADBOOKS Review a finished drive and save it as a Roadbook: an editorial timeline built around your route and the moments you kept. Add a title, write journal entries, attach photos, explore the speed trace, and relive the route in a cinematic flyover. If you opt in, Milepost can also save the Apple Music tracks playing during the drive. A STAMPBOOK FOR EVERY CAR Build your garage, give each vehicle a Stampbook, and see which car was part of every Roadbook. FRIENDS, NOT FOLLOWERS Roadbooks are private by default. Keep a drive to yourself, share with the friends you add, or create a public web link anyone can open without the app. Cloud Backup is set up automatically during onboarding when iCloud Keychain is available. Check its status in Profile > Settings. BUILT FOR APPLE SURFACES Start, end, pause, resume, or mark drives with Siri and CarPlay. Widgets and system controls keep common actions close, while Live Activities show elapsed time, distance, and speed on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. MILEPOST PRO Record and save drives for free, with access to your three most recent drives and each friend's three most recent shared Roadbooks. Milepost Pro unlocks older history, every Roadbook export, deeper driving insights, Body Shop artwork regeneration, shareable flyover videos, and alternate app icons. Choose monthly, yearly, or lifetime access, and restore eligible purchases anytime. Your older saved drives are not deleted. YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICE Roadbooks save locally first, and local recording works without cloud setup. Cloud Backup stores content on Milepost’s servers; iCloud Keychain syncs only the private account credential. App analytics is enabled by default unless you previously turned it off. You can change this in Profile; it uses pseudonymous device and account IDs and excludes routes, photos, journal text, and vehicle details. Milepost is a driving journal, not a navigation or safety system. Set it up before driving and interact only when safe and lawful.
