Wandr turns the world into a map you uncover by living in it. The map starts dark. As you move through the real world — on foot, by car, by bike — Wandr quietly reveals the places you pass through. No checking in, no tagging; just go, and your map fills in. Come back a year from now and you'll see the real shape of your life: every neighborhood, every road trip, every walk to the coffee shop. Save the places that matter, build day streaks, and compare your map with friends if you want to. Everything lives on your iPhone — no ads, no trackers, no account. Requires Always location access so the map can keep revealing while the app is in the background.
