Passcord brings your places and journeys together. Browse recorded locations on a map and calendar, follow a day's route on a timeline, and keep flights in organized Journeys. Record at your pace - Save your current location with a tap or start a continuous recording session. - Choose optional recording from significant location changes or background tasks. Supported Shortcuts and Location Push can also request a location. - Adjust accuracy and recording options to balance detail and battery use. iOS controls background timing, so exact intervals are not guaranteed. Explore your history - Move between days on the calendar and replay routes on the map. - Add Map Notes with small symbols to mark places and moments on the map. - Edit or delete saved locations and view records by date. - Scan your photo library for geotagged photos and videos. Import timed locations from GPX or KML files, and export selected data as GPX. Keep flights together - Create flight boarding passes manually or look up completed flights by number and date. - Group tickets into Journeys and view available historical radar tracks. Location records are stored in a database on your device. Flight lookup and historical radar depend on service coverage and have free usage allowances. A one-time Passcord Pro purchase expands those allowances and unlocks more frequent optional recording. Background features require the relevant permissions and depend on iOS.
