Have I been here before — and when? RetroSpot answers that question with your own photo library. Pick a spot — your current location, an address, or a long-press on the map — and RetroSpot instantly shows every photo you took around it, grouped by year. One glance and you know: you were here in 2019, 2021, and that rainy day in 2023. HOW IT WORKS • Choose a search point: "My location", an address or place search, or tap the map directly. • Set the radius from 100 m to 20 km — it widens automatically for a whole city. • Browse your visits year by year, with thumbnails, dates and distances. • Open any photo full screen: zoom, swipe between shots, see the place name, the distance from your search point, and full technical (EXIF) details. SMART WITH MISSING LOCATIONS • Photos without GPS can inherit an estimated position from the closest photo in time — shown with an ≈ badge, never written to your library unless you ask. • The "Photos without location" screen lets you fix forgotten spots: drag on a mini-map, use the current search point, or copy from another photo. Saved as non-destructive metadata you can revert in Photos. YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY — AND BEYOND • Indexes your full library, including shared albums. • Filter by person, album or year; select photos for a trip report. • Explorer lets you browse sources side by side and copy or move photos between them. • Connect self-hosted or remote libraries too: folders, SFTP, WebDAV, Piwigo, PiGallery2, LibrePhotos, Photoview, Ente. AND MORE • "On this day" widget: memories from past years, right on your Home Screen. • Apple Watch companion. • iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape, light and dark. • Available in English, French, Japanese, Italian, Spanish and Arabic. PRIVACY FIRST RetroSpot has no account and no server. Your photos and locations are indexed on your device and never leave it. No analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs. Zero collection, zero tracking.
