Odyssey is a private location journal that automatically maps where you’ve been and lets you enrich each place with check-ins, photos, notes, people, and ratings. Your map fills in as you move, creating a personal footprint of everywhere you’ve explored. Add check-ins 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. • Rich Check-ins: Save notes, photos, people, and ratings for any place. • Trips: Group check-ins and footprints into trips with notes, people, maps, photos, and day-by-day details. • Home, Work & School: Mark the places you visit most. • Timeline Recaps: Monthly summaries of where you’ve been. • Searchable History: Find any place, person, or note across all your check-ins. • 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. ODYSSEY IS FOR • Travelers building a personal scratch map of everywhere they've been • People looking for a private alternative to Google Timeline • Swarm and Foursquare users who want richer check-in logs with more privacy • Memory keepers logging restaurants, neighborhoods, hikes, and trips • Anyone who wants to see their month or year in places, not just photos HOW ODYSSEY COMPARES • Unlike Google Maps Timeline, Odyssey stores everything on your device — no cloud, no account required. • Unlike Foursquare Swarm, Odyssey is private by design — no social feed, no followers, no sharing. • Unlike Fog of World, Odyssey adds rich check-ins with notes, photos, people, and ratings on top of the map. HOW IT WORKS 1. Download Odyssey and allow location access. 2. Your map fills in automatically as you move through the world. 3. Check in at places that matter — add notes, photos, people, and a rating. 4. Look back anytime with a searchable timeline and monthly or yearly recaps. COMMON QUESTIONS Q: Does Odyssey work offline? A: Yes. All data is stored on your iPhone and the app works without an internet connection. Q: Where is my data stored? A: On your device only. Odyssey does not upload your location data to any server. Q: Can I import from Swarm or Foursquare? A: Soon! We're working hard on bringing your data from other services into Odyssey. Q: Does Odyssey drain battery? A: Odyssey is designed to be lightweight and efficient with battery and storage. Q: Is Odyssey free? A: Odyssey is free to download and use.

Enjoying it, but …

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??

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

• Added an option to just link to photos & videos in the Photos app, saving space on your device. • Added a way to link videos to your check-ins. • Cleaned up the check-ins edit view. • Improved people picker by adding search. • Expanded Settings with clearer photo and location permission info.
