Only for iPhone

iPhone
New in 1.3: add friends with a short code and compare your travel maps. No account needed. Plus continent widgets, new share cards and milestones.
Michi records where you have been, and how long you stayed.
Most travel apps count countries. Michi counts days. A city you passed through for an afternoon and a city you lived in for a year are not the same thing, and the map shows the difference.
A MAP MADE OF SQUARES The world as a grid, like a contribution graph. Every square is a piece of the world, and the deeper its colour, the longer you were there. Colour means time spent, not a place ticked off a list. Open a continent and the squares get finer, so a trip that was one square on the world map becomes a shape.
ADD A PLACE IN SECONDS Type a city, tap it, and it is saved. Nothing else is required. Dates, counted days and trips can come later, or never. Mark a city you lived in, and those days stay out of your travel total.
YEARS OF TRAVEL FROM YOUR PHOTOS Michi can suggest past trips from the date and place saved in your photos. It never reads the pictures themselves, and nothing is saved until you have checked it.
A PASSPORT YOU LEAF THROUGH Every country you have visited gets its own stamp, in the order you first went. The data page holds your totals, and Statistics shows your days by year, by continent and by country.
FRIENDS, NOT A SOCIAL NETWORK Add a friend with a short code. There is no account to create. Compare your maps, see where you have both been, and find places you both want to go. On a city page, see which friends know it. Each friend sees only what you choose: places and days, or places only. There is no feed, no public profile, and no way for strangers to find you.
PLACES STILL TO COME Keep a list of places you want to visit, and plan trips you have not taken yet. A planned trip counts down to its start, and one switch shows or hides future places on the map. Star your favourites and mark the places you would like to go back to.
NOTHING IS INVENTED If you do not remember how long you stayed, Michi does not guess. An undated visit stays undated. It counts as visited, at the lightest shade, with no days made up for it, and days are never divided between cities on your behalf.
TRIPS, WHEN YOU WANT THEM Group visits into a trip, give it a name, dates and a note, or leave them loose. Both work.
ON YOUR HOME SCREEN / Widgets for your world map, each continent, and a countdown to your next trip.
SHARE A PICTURE, NOT A PROFILE Turn your world map, a continent, or a single trip into an image and send it wherever you like.
NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING There is nothing to create and nothing to sign in to. Michi runs no analytics and shows no ads. Your history stays on your iPhone, and syncs through your own iCloud account only if you switch that on. If you add a friend, your map is encrypted on your phone and passes through Michi's server, which cannot read it. Only that friend can open it. City search runs offline against data bundled with the app. What you type goes to Apple only if you tap Search Apple Maps to find a smaller town. You can export your whole history as a JSON or CSV file at any time.
IN FOUR LANGUAGES Michi speaks English, German, Spanish and French, city names included: Munich is München on a German iPhone, and typing "Wien" finds Vienna on any phone.
Michi is an iPhone app and it works without a connection. Friends need one to update.
