Was Here is your personal travel map: keep track of every country you have visited and scratch each one off with a satisfying gold-foil reveal. Like the scratch-off world map on your wall — but smarter, always in your pocket, and free. SCRATCH OFF THE WORLD Mark a country as visited, then scratch it off to reveal it on your map. Watching the gold foil peel away is the most satisfying way to log your travels — one scratch for every stamp in your passport. YOUR TRAVEL MAP & PASSPORT See all the places you have been on a beautiful world map, then open your travel passport: how many countries you have visited, which continents you have covered, and how much of the world is still waiting. BEYOND COUNTRIES: REGIONS & CITIES A country is a blunt measure. Zoom in and mark the states, provinces and prefectures you actually set foot in — then the cities themselves, from the capital you landed in to the town you slept in. Your map tells the truth at every level, and photo import fills in regions and cities too. A TRAVEL TRACKER THAT STAYS OUT OF YOUR WAY - Track visited countries — all 250 countries and territories - Add the years you visited and keep private notes for every place - Count your progress by UN countries or the full list, your choice - Fast search in any language - Go deeper than borders: states, provinces and 64,000 cities IMPORT FROM YOUR PHOTOS Been traveling for years? Rebuild your travel history in seconds: Was Here can scan the geotags of your photos and suggest the countries you have been to. Scanning happens entirely on your device — your photos never leave your phone. ACHIEVEMENTS Earn medals as your map fills in: your first footprint, your first continent, all seven, and the long road to every last country on Earth. WISHLIST: WHERE NEXT? Save the countries you want to visit, star your dream trips, and swipe them into your visited map when you finally get there. SHARE YOUR TRAVELS Turn your travel map into a beautiful card — your countries, your stats, your story — and share it with friends in one tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your travels are yours. No account required, photo scanning stays on your device, and your notes are always private. No ads. No subscription. No paywall in front of your own map. Whether you are a frequent flyer counting countries, a backpacker plotting the next border, or you simply want a scratch map of everywhere you have ever been — Was Here turns your travel history into something you can see, touch, and share. Where in the world have you been?

GeoFog turns everyday walks into visible progress on your map. EXPLORE Reveal streets from the fog as you walk. Record journeys, see your explored area, and revisit your progress. Explore mode keeps your route history and fog on your device. FRONTIERS Sign in to capture territory by walking closed loops. Territory can change hands when a later capture covers it. The mode includes simulated competitors. Nearby rankings reflect the visible arena; country and global rankings are simulated benchmarks. START AT YOUR OWN PACE A guided introduction helps you choose a manageable first walk and watch an illustrated map demo. You decide when to start and stop recording.
