About

WalkStamp

Read full description

WalkStamp is a Taiwan travel journal you stamp yourself. Walk in. Snap a photo. Collect a stamp. Open the map and discover spots worth visiting around you: • All 2,608 elementary schools in Taiwan — visit your alma mater, your kids' school, or a quiet rural campus you stumbled upon • 243 Taiwan Railway (TRA) stations — from Taipei to Taitung, Keelung to Fangliao • 108 Taipei MRT stations — interchange stations merged so you walk through them once • All 12 Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) stations — north to south in one go • The full Taoyuan Airport MRT line [Check-in requires GPS + a photo] Every check-in verifies you've physically arrived via GPS, then asks for one photo as a keepsake. Photos go straight into your own iCloud Documents — nothing is uploaded to any server, no personal data is collected, no behavior tracking. Your check-ins and photos belong only to you. [Hand-drawn adventure journal aesthetic] Every collection cover, every achievement badge, every map pin is hand-illustrated in a vintage adventure-journal style. The page-turning, stamp-pressing animation on each check-in echoes the ritual of a real paper stamp book. [Smart hub merging] At major interchange stations like Taipei Main, Banqiao, and Nangang, the map automatically merges multiple collection pins into a single hub pin. Tap it to see every collection that passes through and your progress in each — no more wrestling with overlapping pins. [Rich achievement system] Unlock hidden achievements through many kinds of challenges: • County Champion — complete every elementary school in a single county • Taiwan's Northernmost / Southernmost / Easternmost / Westernmost • Full High Speed Rail line • Cross-Collection Explorer • Weekend Duo, Dawn Visit, Four-Season Explorer… Walk slower.
