Your photo library already knows everywhere you've been. Mapmoir turns it into something beautiful automatically. Scan your photos once and watch years of travel appear: countries shaded in on a world map, every stop pinned, trips detected and named without you tagging a thing. WHY MAPMOIR IS DIFFERENT • No account. No cloud. No tracking. Your location history is processed and stored on your device only we never see it, because there is nothing to send it to. • Zero manual entry. No checking in, no adding pins by hand. Your existing photos (and optional Google Timeline export) do all the work. WHAT YOU GET • A world map with every country you've visited shaded in • Automatic trip detection: "Mexico & Belize · March 2024" names itself • A travel log that writes itself: your days, cities, and photos in a timeline • Countries tab: visited vs. still-on-the-list, with your percentage of the world • Milestones: 5 countries, 10,000 km, and more to unlock • "On this day" travel memories, with optional notifications • Wrapped-style share cards for your stories • Year filters, dark mode, offline backup your data stays yours YOUR PRIVACY, FOR REAL Mapmoir's App Privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because it's true. Photo locations are read on-device with Apple's PhotoKit. Country and city lookups run against offline databases bundled inside the app. The only network traffic is anonymous map-tile images. Import your Google Timeline export for even richer history, back everything up to a single file you keep, and erase it all with one tap whenever you want. Your travels are a story. Mapmoir is where it's written.
