Features

Your whole travel history in one place

Place tracking

Log every city, landmark, and destination you've visited. Pin them on an interactive 3D globe and a world map, and attach photo postcards and notes to each place, keep a private journal, and leave a Time Capsule at any pin.

Flights, road trips, cruises and trains

Scan a boarding pass to log a flight in seconds, or add the airports by hand. Routes animate on the map, with stats on total distance and airports visited. Road trips, cruises and train journeys can be logged the same way.

Globe visualization

See your travel history on a 3D globe. Spin it, zoom in, and see your pins as a spatial record of your life's movement.

Stats dashboard

Countries, continents, nights abroad, furthest point and total miles. The numbers that tell the story of where you've been.

Travel Reels and Year in Review

Turn a trip, a year or all your travels into a short video with your top places, photos and animated routes, with an original soundtrack made on your device. Pick a look (Night, Satellite, Light or Film), a length of 15, 30 or 60 seconds, and a format for Stories, the feed or widescreen. Year in Review is the annual version, ready to share.

Travel goals

Set goals for every continent, every country, or your own bucket list, and track progress as the gap closes.

Plan your next trip

Give a dream destination dates, a day-by-day plan and saved spots, and tap I Went! to turn it into a pin that keeps the plan. Group dream destinations into collections such as Japan 2027, and planned trips sit at the top of your wishlist with a countdown. Discover Nearby lists sights, food and coffee from Apple Maps. On devices with Apple Intelligence, Suggest a Plan drafts day-by-day ideas on the device.

Look Around

Walk the streets of places you've visited, or preview ones you haven't, with Apple's street-level imagery. No extra account needed.

Share cards and postcards

Make share cards and map collages for Instagram and Stories, or keep photo postcards as personal mementos.

Widgets and Spotlight

Home-screen widgets show On This Day, Travel Stats and your Last Trip. Find any pin or dream destination from iPhone search; names, places and dates only, and you can turn it off in Settings.

iCloud sync

Your travel data stays in sync across your devices through CloudKit, in your own iCloud account. No Purplelink account and no server of ours. You can also import and export your data as CSV.

Anniversary reminders

Get notified when it's been a year since you visited a place. A quiet nudge to return, or a reminder of how far you've traveled.

GlobePin is out.

Free to download, with ads, for iPhone and iPad running iOS 17 or later. A one-time Pro purchase of $14.99 removes the ads. Your travel data syncs over your own iCloud account, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing stored on our servers.

Frequently asked questions

Is GlobePin available yet?
Yes. GlobePin 1.0 was released on the App Store on 3 September 2026, and the current version is 1.2. It is free to download and needs iOS 17 or later. Download it here.
How do I log a flight?
Tap the + button and enter your departure and arrival airports. GlobePin calculates the route, distance, and duration, then adds the flight to your map, stats, and timeline automatically.
Does GlobePin sync across devices?
Yes. GlobePin uses iCloud sync via CloudKit (Apple's own infrastructure), so your travel data is available across all your iOS devices without a separate account or subscription.
What does GlobePin cost?
GlobePin is free to download, and every feature is in the free version. The free version shows ads served by Google AdMob: a small banner on some screens, a short ad before Year in Review and Map Collage and when you export a Travel Reel, and a small Made with GlobePin mark on shared cards and reels. GlobePin Pro, a one-time $14.99 purchase and not a subscription, removes all of that.
What's the difference between GlobePin and other travel trackers?
GlobePin tracks the complete travel record: every place visited, every flight taken, and every destination on the list. It combines a 3D globe view, detailed flight statistics, travel goals, anniversary reminders, and exportable travel postcards, all synced via iCloud, no social network required. For how it compares with Polarsteps, Visited, Flighty and a dozen others, see the guide to the best travel map apps for iPhone.
