Rebuild every trip you've ever taken from the photos already on your phone — then keep your map growing on a beautiful 3D globe. NO SUBSCRIPTION. EVER. Every feature in GlobePin is free. GlobePin Pro is a single $9.99 purchase that removes the ads and the "Made with GlobePin" mark — no monthly or yearly fee, nothing to cancel, and shared with your family. NOTHING LOST WHEN YOU CHANGE PHONES Your map syncs privately through your own iCloud and is there on your new iPhone, your iPad, or your Mac. Export everything as a CSV whenever you like. No account to create. YOUR PAST TRIPS, BACK IN MINUTES Rebuild from Photos reads where and when your photos were taken — never the pictures themselves — groups them into trips, and lets you review each one before anything is added. It works out where you lived over the years, skips layovers and short drives near home, and names cities the way you'd expect. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Pin places on an interactive 3D globe and world map • Look Around — walk the streets of places you've visited (and preview ones you haven't) with Apple's street-level imagery, no extra account needed • Track flights, road trips, cruises, and train journeys with animated routes • See your stats: countries, continents, nights abroad, furthest point, total miles • Attach photo "postcards" to every place and build a visual travel diary • Travel Reels — turn a trip, a year, or all your travels into a video with your top places, photos, route animations, and an original soundtrack; four looks and formats for Stories, feed, or widescreen • Year in Review — your annual travel wrapped, ready to share • Share Cards and Map Collages for Instagram and Stories • Travel Goals — every continent, every country, or your own bucket list • A private travel Journal and Time Capsules at every pin • Scan a boarding pass to log a flight in seconds • Plan your next trip: pick dates, build a day-by-day plan, and save spots • Discover Nearby — browse sights, food, coffee, museums and more around any pin or dream destination, straight from Apple Maps • Suggest a Plan — on devices with Apple Intelligence, get day-by-day ideas built only from real Apple Maps places, generated privately on your device • Group dream destinations into collections ("Japan 2027", "Honeymoon ideas") • Find any pin or dream destination from iPhone Spotlight search • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets: On This Day, Travel Stats, and Last Trip • On iPhone, iPad, Mac (Apple silicon), and Apple Vision Pro • Import & export your data as CSV — it's yours • Syncs privately across your devices with iCloud Every feature above is free. GLOBEPIN PRO (OPTIONAL) The map is always ad-free. The free version shows a small banner on the Stats, Goals and Cards screens, plays a short ad before Year in Review and Map Collage and when you export a Travel Reel, and adds a small "Made with GlobePin" mark to shared cards and reels, plus an end card on reels. GlobePin Pro removes all of that. It is a one-time purchase of $9.99 — not a subscription. There are no recurring charges and nothing to cancel, the unlock is restorable on your other devices, and Family Sharing lets up to five family members use it too. Prices are in USD and may vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

No accounts, no tracking — we never see your travels. The free version shows ads; GlobePin Pro removes them.
