The Pocket Atlas passport: Pathfinder rank, 1,468 XP, 16 stickers and 6 trophies, with Greece and Japan trip chapters.

One walk, four stops

  1. 1 OF 4

    Start a walk

    Tap Start and walk. The app notices when you reach a landmark.

  2. 2 OF 4

    Reach a landmark

    It has to be the real place. No tapping from your sofa.

  3. 3 OF 4

    Take the photo

    Your photo is the sticker, and the proof you were there. Straight from the camera, never the camera roll.

  4. 4 OF 4

    Keep the walk

    Every walk keeps its distance, time, steps and floors climbed.

A passport that fills up over years

Stickers fill your passport, country by country. Some are rarer than others. Rarity depends on how many people have found a sticker, so it changes over time. Sets give you something to aim at: The Seven Wonders, UNESCO sites country by country, and smaller sets for a region or an island.

  • Ranks
    Six ranks, from Wanderer to Atlas. Every walk’s XP moves you up.

Every walk, kept

When you stop, the walk becomes a page: the route you took, the stickers you found, how far, how long, your steps and the floors you climbed. Share it as a card, or keep it to yourself — walks are private until you say otherwise.

Steps and floors come from your iPhone’s own motion sensor. Saving walks to Apple Health is optional, and off until you turn it on.

Where it works today

More countries as we go. Anywhere else, your passport and walks still work, but the map won’t show landmarks yet.

Yours, not ours

  • Walks are private
    Nobody sees a walk until you share it.
  • Routes are blurred
    A shared route is moved by about 40 m, so it doesn’t lead to your front door.
  • No ads, no tracking
    No advertising, no third-party analytics, nothing sold.
  • No passwords
    We email you a six-digit code. No Google, no Apple, no Facebook — no other company learns you use it.
  • Photos stay yours
    Your photographs are in private storage only your account can read. We don’t analyse them or train anything on them.
  • Take it or delete it
    Export everything, or delete everything, from Settings. No thirty-day wait.

Questions

Is it free?
Yes. There are no ads and nothing to buy, and anything that ships free stays free.
When can I get it?
It’s in testing on iPhone now. It’ll be on the App Store when it’s ready — we’d rather not guess a date.
Where does it work?
France, Italy, Spain, Japan, Greece and Portugal. More as we go.
Do I need an account?
Yes, an email address, so your passport survives a lost phone. We send you a six-digit code; there’s no password. We won’t email you anything else.
Can I use photos I’ve already taken?
Not for new stickers. The photo is the proof you were there, so it comes straight from the camera.
Does it count my steps?
If you allow it, each walk gets its steps and floors climbed, counted by your iPhone. Apple Health is optional.
Does it work without a signal?
Walks and stickers are made on your phone and sync when you’re back online. Download a map area before you go somewhere remote.
Android?
Not yet. iPhone first.
Which iPhone?
Any iPhone on iOS 18 or later.

Your passport is waiting.
