Read full descriptionHide full description
You spend your life somewhere. Stoak shows you where. Stoak runs quietly in the background and turns all of it into a personal heat map of your time. No check-ins. No manual logging. No effort. Just go about your day and Stoak does the rest. What Stoak maps: Your time. Not your steps, not your route. Just where you are and how long you stay. The longer you're somewhere, the hotter it burns on your map. Explore your habits: Switch between Today, Yesterday, This Week, and This Month to see how your patterns shift over time. Your map tells a story about where you work, where you unwind, and where you always end up. Pin your places: Drop pins on locations that matter to you like home, work, or your favorite coffee shop, and see dedicated stats for each one. Built for your life: Stoak runs passively using iOS visit monitoring, designed to be as battery-friendly as possible. Check in whenever you want and your heat map is always up to date. Stays on your lock screen: A Live Activity keeps your current fueling session visible at a glance, right from your lock screen. Your data, your privacy: Everything stays on your device and syncs privately across your devices via iCloud. Stoak never sells or shares your location data.
