Uncover the World
Read full descriptionHide full description
Uncover tracks where you've actually been and turns it into a map you can watch grow. Every new place lights up a tile — your street, a trail you hiked once, a city you passed through and forgot about. Over time it adds up to a real picture of how much of the world you've covered. How it works: It runs in the background, no need to open the app. Go somewhere new, a tile lights up. What you can see: - Total tiles discovered - Percent of the world explored - Real-world area covered, in km² - Recent discoveries with timestamps A few details that matter: Works without a data connection, so it still counts tiles on trails and mountain roads with no signal. Pick Walk, Bike, or Car mode so a car trip or a flight doesn't rack up tiles you didn't earn on foot. Runs in the background without draining your battery, and syncs across your devices with iCloud. Export your data as JSON or delete it whenever you want.
