A tiny digital snow globe for every city you've been. Tilt your phone, the snow falls, and you're back there. 1,000+ illustrated clay-style miniatures: a digital travel journal that feels like a keepsake. You add the places yourself — Tiny Cities never tracks your location. Other apps count your countries. Tiny Cities keeps them. WHAT YOU GET • 1,000+ ILLUSTRATED CITIES — a clay-style diorama under glass for each one, 1,018 cities from Paris to Tashkent, each with its own landmarks. Not clip art, not a map pin. • TILT THE GLOBE — move your phone and the globe answers. Every city has its own atmosphere: snow, petals, mist. • A KEEPSAKE PASSPORT — every city you add gets a digital stamp. It's a keepsake inside the app, not a travel document. Watch the cities and countries you've added count up, with 106 milestones to earn along the way. • YOUR WORLD, LIT UP — spin a 3D Earth and watch every country you've visited glow. Open a country to see your cities set on its clay map. • THE FRIDGE — every city you keep becomes a digital magnet on your in-app fridge. New fridges unlock as you travel. • SOMEDAY CITIES — keep your bucket list under glass, each with a sealed note to your future self. When you finally arrive, move them onto your shelf. • MEMORY NOTES & PHOTOS — the night train, the corner café, the wrong turn that made the trip. Up to ten photos with every city, dated to the day, the month, the season or just the year. • THE STUDIO — turn your travels into a route film, a year poster image, a world map or a digital postcard to share. • ON YOUR HOME SCREEN — add the widget and keep your shelf close. HOW IT WORKS 1. Search any city you've visited. 2. Say when you went — to the day, or just "spring 2019". 3. Watch its miniature develop, and set it on your shelf. QUIET BY DESIGN • No sign-up form. You start with a private, anonymous account. • Your shelf syncs privately. Link Apple or Google whenever you like. FREE TO START Add every city you have ever been to. There is no limit. Your first three arrive as full clay dioramas with the whole ceremony. The rest are kept, stamped and counted while their miniature waits to be developed. FIRST CLASS First Class develops every city on your shelf, and every new city the moment you add it. It also opens all 22 display stands in the cabinet and removes the web address from your shared postcards. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Everything in Tiny Cities is digital — nothing is printed or shipped. Where have you been? Start your shelf tonight.
