Kokoro Compass
Feel your places by direction
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Every place you've been becomes a star in the night sky.
This isn't a map with directions. It's an app that lets you quietly feel which way your meaningful places lie from where you are now, and how far, on a beautiful night-sky compass.
Travel memories, places you want to return to, distant people and your hometown. The more you collect, the more they become your very own constellation.
◇ Who it's for
・For anyone who, on the night they get home from a trip, wants to keep their photos as "footprints" instead of letting them vanish into the camera roll. Add your photo locations all at once, and each place you visited becomes part of a night-sky collection.
・For anyone who doesn't want to forget the town they once lived in, the place they can never return to. Just by gazing at its direction from where you stand, a half-forgotten place quietly comes back to you.
・For anyone who travels to anime filming spots, concert venues, and places tied to the artists they love, collecting "proof I was here." The spots you've reached and the ones you haven't yet grow into a pilgrimage chart all your own.
・For anyone who has left home for school or work and suddenly wants to check the direction where family lives. On the way home, feel the distance shrink; on a quiet night at the window, sense the way to your parents' home.
・For anyone who wants to cherish the places of memories with a partner or family, tied to the people themselves. Even apart, point the arrow toward where they are, and your heart feels quietly connected.

Improved how nearby-place notifications handle permission. When notifications can't be delivered, the app now says so and offers a way to the system settings — and it refreshes as soon as you come back.
