Waymark - A map that starts in fog and clears where you walk
by•
A comprehensive map of everywhere you've been. The map starts out in fog, and every walk, ride or drive clears a little more. Old photos fill in the years before you installed it! No account, no ads, and nothing leaves your iPhone. Free, or $5.99 once for Plus.

Hi! I'm Simon, a student at Cornell.
I kept walking the same few streets between my dorm and class, and wanted to actually see how little of the town I knew. So Waymark covers your map in fog, and you clear it by going places. It's a bit humbling the first time.
You don't start from zero, though. It can read your old photos, Google Timeline, Strava or Apple Health, so trips from years ago show up too.
Nothing gets uploaded. There's no account and I don't run a server, so I couldn't see where you've been even if I wanted to. Friends groups only share percentages, never maps.
It's free. Plus is $5.99 once, not a subscription.
Tell me what's confusing or what you'd want next!
Does it keep clearing the fog in the background when the app is closed? And how much battery does that take over a day?
