Read full description

Discover Your World, One Path at a Time TraceTrail turns your daily journeys into a personal heatmap, showing the roads you've travelled and the paths yet to explore. Ever wondered which streets you've never walked down? Which trails you've yet to discover? TraceTrail shows you where you've been - and where you haven't. Fully automatic: tracking runs in the background and knows when you stop - trips start and end by themselves, and GPS pauses while you're not moving to save battery. Completely private: no accounts, no data collection, your location history never leaves your device. Your data is yours: browse, rename and manage every trail, export to GPX, and back up or restore everything with one file.

Skip the generic reviews. Tripin shows you exactly what your friends thought of the restaurants, bars, cafes, museums, and hidden gems they actually visited. Every place gets a personal rating from 1 to 10. No stars, no algorithms, no strangers with 400 reviews and suspicious taste. Just honest takes from people whose judgment you actually trust. Follow your friends, see where they've been, and save the spots worth visiting next time you're in their city. Post the places you love with a photo, a rating, and a short note. Build up a trail of everywhere you've been. Tripin is for the kind of people who plan entire trips around where to eat, who ask friends for recommendations before they even book flights, and who know that a 7/10 from someone they know is worth more than millions of reviews from people they'll never meet. Your world. Rated by people you trust.
