EchoRoot turns your neighborhood into a living archive of hidden stories.
Plant a text or audio echo at any GPS location—a memory from your morning walk, a secret tied to a hidden spot, or a story only someone passing through will find. Lock it to exact coordinates. Only someone who physically walks there can unlock it.
How it works
• Drop an echo—write or record up to 3 minutes of audio, choose a category, and plant it where you're standing
• Explore the map — see locked capsules hidden nearby. The title and distance are visible, but the content stays sealed until you arrive
• Walk to unlock—step within range and the Echo opens. No shortcuts, no spoilers
• Save and revisit—bookmark echoes that move you and build your own archive of discoveries
Walking Hunts
Follow a chain of geo-locked clues across your neighborhood. Each unlock reveals the next location. Complete the hunt to find what's waiting at the end.
EchoRoot Plus
Free accounts can plant up to 3 echoes. Upgrade for:
• Unlimited planting
• Audio echo recording
• Create your own walking hunts
• Try free for 3 days on the yearly plan
Subscription billing: EchoRoot Plus is offered as a monthly or annual auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID Account Settings.
Designed for anonymity
No profiles. No followers. No feeds. Echoes are planted and discovered anonymously—the stories live in the places, not the people.
Find what's been left for you.

Streaks, reactions, and your echo on the lock screen.
- **Streak counter** — your profile now shows how many days in a row you've unlocked an echo. Keep the streak alive.
- **Reaction notifications** — when someone finds, feels moved by, or leaves a reaction on your echo, you'll get a push notification.
- **Creator stats** — tap your own echo to see how many people have unlocked it and which reactions it's collected.
- **Color-coded pins** — map pins are now color-coded by category (memory, story, warning, local history, treasure hunt) and fade gently as echoes age.
- **Lock screen widget** — add the EchoRoot widget to your lock screen or home screen to see how many echoes are waiting near you without opening the app.
- Bug fixes and stability improvements.
