GloBeen — Track Every Place You've Been Some people count countries. GloBeen helps you celebrate them. Every trip you've taken, every city you've wandered, every airport you've rushed through — they all add up to a story that's uniquely yours. GloBeen puts that story on the map. Mark the places you've been. Dream about the places you haven't. Watch your world fill up, one adventure at a time. A map that grows with you. Your travels deserve more than a note in your phone. GloBeen turns them into a living, breathing world map — coloured by your experiences, shaped by your curiosity. The more you explore, the more beautiful it gets. Your trips, your way. Visited 3 countries or 93? Spent years living abroad or just back from your first solo trip? GloBeen meets you where you are. Start small. Dream big. There are 195 countries waiting. Tell it in plain English. Just got back from Japan? Type it. GloBeen figures out the rest — countries, cities, regions — and marks them for you. No forms. No fuss. Just your story, logged the way you'd tell it to a friend. Make it yours. Nine map themes let you set the mood — from crisp daylight blue to a dramatic night globe glowing with golden light. Your map, your aesthetic. Earn your magnets. Every country you visit unlocks a collectible fridge magnet. A small reward for every big adventure. They add up, just like the miles. Share the journey. Export your map and share it. Let people see where you've been. Inspire them to go somewhere new. Or just keep it for yourself — a snapshot of a life well-travelled. Free to start. Yours to keep. No subscription. No recurring charges. Unlock everything once and it's yours forever. Your world is out there. How much of it have you seen?

Tap any country on an interactive world map to mark it visited. Marco fills it in and keeps a running count against all 247 countries and territories. Drill into a country to mark individual states and provinces, or add specific cities you've visited, each with its own zoomed-in map. Haven't been somewhere yet? Add it to your wishlist with one tap, and come back to it whenever you're planning your next trip. STATS THAT ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING See your progress broken down by continent, country, state, and city — with real flags for every country, and for most states and provinces that have one. COMPARE WITH FRIENDS, PRIVATELY Sign in with Apple to see which of your contacts also use Marco and compare country counts. Marco only ever shows the countries you and a friend have both visited, never their full list; so there's always more to ask about next time you talk. Everything else works completely offline with no account at all. Signing in is only needed for the friends/leaderboard feature. WHAT'S TRACKED • Countries (247, with real flags) • States & provinces (with flags where one officially exists) • Cities you add yourself • Your wishlist of places you want to go
