Check-ins are the breadcrumbs that become stories on Haunts.IO Haunts is a check-in app for the places that matter to you. Open it when you arrive somewhere, tap the venue you're standing in, drop a photo and a quick note, and you've added a row to a map of your real life that grows quietly in the background. Every check-in is a breadcrumb. The pins cluster as you zoom out, and over time a year of weekends becomes a route you can scroll through. Pull up any venue and see when you were last there, who you tagged, what photo you took, and the nearby places you might want to revisit. The Stats tab shows the same data the other way around: top venues, busiest months, countries crossed, and a heatmap of where your life happens. Year in Review reads the trail and writes a short narrative of your year from the venue names, photos, and trips you logged. Trips and lists are where the breadcrumbs turn into stories. A trip groups every venue you visited on one weekend or one country crossing, and trips nest, so a multi-week Europe sweep can hold the smaller Paris and Rome legs inside it. Lists are reusable: a Saturday brunch list, a downtown best-of, a wineries-near-home list you build over months. Bucket list venues are the inverse, places you haven't been yet but plan to, surfaced on the map and in nearby search whenever you're close enough to stop in. Flights are detected automatically. Two airport check-ins within sixteen hours pair into a flight with a great-circle arc on the map and on the full-screen 3D Globe, and the AI suggests airline and route if you don't remember. Logging just the airport you started from is enough, and Haunts asks about the destination later. Friends run through all of it. Public profiles let anyone with your handle browse the venues you've made public. Friend requests, mutual following, and contacts match (emails and phone numbers hashed on your device before they leave it) make it easy to find the people you share visits with. Tag friends on a check-in and the visit shows up on their feed too. Every check-in has three visibility states, public, friends, or private, so the weekend bar crawl stays out of your work network. Stickers and achievements add a light game layer for the people who like that, and stay invisible if you don't. A monthly leaderboard tracks XP from check-ins, photos, and streaks, and once-a-year visits like a hometown anniversary or a recurring conference count toward it too. The Apple Watch companion checks you in from your wrist, with the same nearby venue coverage as the phone. Home screen widgets jump straight to the Nearby list, so checking in takes about three seconds when you're walking through a door. Search covers your full history and forgives how memory works: possessive names like Lowe's, or remembering "winery" when the venue is a "vineyard." A discovery tier on top pulls in venues you haven't been to yet, biased to where you're standing. Free to use, no ads, no selling your data. Sign in with Google or Apple.
