TripScape: Your Travel History

Reads only the location saved in your photos, on your device, and builds the record of everywhere you have been — mapped, counted, and turned into stamps. No network.

Your photo library already knows where you were, and when.

TripScape reads just those two things — location and date — on your device, and builds the record of everywhere you have been, laid out on a map of Japan. The images themselves are never loaded. Nothing is ever transmitted.

■ Nothing to log. The photos you already took are the record There is no checking in and no writing things down. Each time you open the app it looks at the new photos only, and the places you visited are added for you. Photos from years ago are swept in too.

■ See it as numbers, see it as a map How many municipalities you have set foot in, your coverage per prefecture, how many landmarks you have reached. The map of Japan fills in town by town, so one glance shows where your life has actually taken you.

■ The record turns into something worth collecting Not a plain list. 407 landmarks across Japan, each with its own diorama-style stamp. All 1,739 municipalities, each with a round engraved postmark. The more you travel, the fuller your book.

■ Go twice, and the postmarks stack One postmark per place per day. Come back another day and the marks layer over each other, so the places you return to run deepest.

■ Turn a memory into a postcard Pick one photo from that day and share it as a postcard, complete with its stamp and a postmark dated to the day you took it.

■ Home stays out of it The town where you photograph on the most days is treated as home, and stops issuing postmarks — so your record stays a record of travel, not of Tuesdays.

■ Your history never leaves this iPhone The map data used for matching ships inside the app. No network requests. No account. Not one photo leaves your device.

■ Collecting is always free Collecting stamps and postmarks stays free forever. The one-time albums are simply the shelves that hold and display them, by region. Pick one region free to start. No subscription.
