The whole map starts hidden under a fog. As you move, the fog is cleared in a circle around you, leaving a growing web of trails that shows exactly where you have been. Your own world emerges, step by step. My Footsteps turns everyday walks into exploration. Take a new way home, turn down the street you have never walked, or cycle a detour through the park – everything leaves a trail. Over time you see the pattern: the blocks you know by heart, and the blank spots waiting for you. EXPLORE • The fog is a map layer of its own and follows the map exactly as you zoom and pan • Clearing continues while the app is in the background, so your whole walk is captured • Choose between standard, satellite, hybrid and black & white maps • Adjust the clearing radius and the density of the fog TODAY'S HARVEST • Pick a day or a date range and see exactly what you cleared then • Perfect after a long walk: "Today" shows today's harvest while the rest rests under the fog HEATMAP • One tap swaps the fog for colored trails showing where you go most often • Twelve color steps from pale yellow to deep red – everyday routes glow, one-off adventures shimmer • Combine with the date selection: where did you roam last summer? STATISTICS • See how much of every country you have explored – in percent or per mille and km² • In Sweden, also by municipality and county • Sortable columns, with a badge on the map showing the area you are in right now YOUR MAP, YOUR EXPLORATION • Your map is stored in your own iCloud and follows you between devices • Save multiple named maps and load them back whenever you like • Erase everything and start over whenever you feel like it BUILT TO BE KIND TO YOUR BATTERY The app adapts how often your position is read to how fast you move, and rests when you stand still. Move again and it wakes instantly. PRIVACY Your locations never leave your device and your own iCloud. No analytics, no ads, no third parties. The developer cannot see where you have been. PRICE Try everything free for seven days. Then 12 months for a yearly subscription, or a single one-time purchase for lifetime access. Both options support Family Sharing: one purchase covers the whole family, and every family member gets their own map in their own iCloud.
