Odyssey is a private location journal that automatically maps where you’ve been and lets you enrich each place with visits, photos, notes, people, and ratings.
Your map fills in as you move, creating a personal footprint of everywhere you’ve explored. Add visits when a moment is worth remembering. Look back with monthly and yearly recaps.
No followers. No cloud. Just your memories, on your device.
FEATURES
• Footprints Map: Your movement fills in the map automatically — like a personal scratch map.
• Library Photos: Your iPhone photos appear on your day timeline and map, right where and when you took them.
• Rich Visits: Save notes, photos, people, and ratings for any place.
• Timeline Recaps: Monthly summaries of where you’ve been.
• Searchable History: Find any place, person, or note across all your visits.
• Private by Design: All data stays on your iPhone. Never sent, never shared.
• Lightweight: Easy on battery and storage.
Odyssey is for you, not your followers.

This app is pretty good, but what I’d love is to be able to somehow import my Google timeline in order to get a more complete view since this is only showing me where I’ve visited since downloading the app.Edit: changing my review after the last update. Now you ONLY see where you’ve been on the day you’re looking at. This is awful. It was much better before when you could always see everywhere you’ve been with the current day’s places in dark blue. WHY would you make this change??
Developer Response
Hey Lenny, you can see everywhere you've been by tapping the search button which brings up the new "Explore" section. It's my bad that I didn't communicate this change at all in the app. As for the Google timeline import, it'll come in a future update, but it might take some time since it's just me working on it. FYI, you can reach me directly by tapping the calendar icon, then the chat/question mark icon on the top right corner of the day picker. Would love your feedback anytime. –Daniel
