RetroSpot
Travel
Free
Stand anywhere and ask: have I been here before? RetroSpot scans your photo library and shows every visit, year by year — all on device, nothing leaves your phone.
Have I been here before — and when?
RetroSpot answers that question with your own photo library. Pick a spot — your current location, an address, or a long-press on the map — and RetroSpot instantly shows every photo you took around it, grouped by year. One glance and you know: you were here in 2019, 2021, and that rainy day in 2023.
HOW IT WORKS
• Choose a search point: "My location", an address or place search, or tap the map directly.
• Set the radius from 100 m to 20 km — it widens automatically for a whole city.
• Browse your visits year by year, with thumbnails, dates and distances.
• Open any photo full screen: zoom, swipe between shots, see the place name, the distance from your search point, and full technical (EXIF) details.
SMART WITH MISSING LOCATIONS
• Photos without GPS can inherit an estimated position from the closest photo in time — shown with an ≈ badge, never written to your library unless you ask.
• The "Photos without location" screen lets you fix forgotten spots: drag on a mini-map, use the current search point, or copy from another photo. Saved as non-destructive metadata you can revert in Photos.
YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY — AND BEYOND
• Indexes your full library, including shared albums.
• Filter by person, album or year; select photos for a trip report.
• Explorer lets you browse sources side by side and copy or move photos between them.
• Connect self-hosted or remote libraries too: folders, SFTP, WebDAV, Piwigo, PiGallery2, LibrePhotos, Photoview, Ente.
AND MORE
• "On this day" widget: memories from past years, right on your Home Screen.
• Apple Watch companion.
• iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape, light and dark.
• Available in English, French, Japanese, Italian, Spanish and Arabic.
