The places you actually went.

How it works

Three things, and none of them is a tracker following you down the street.

1. 01

   It notices you stopped

   Your phone already knows roughly where it is. XplorMark watches for you staying in one place for a few minutes, and does nothing at all while you are moving between places.

2. 02

   You say what it was

   A stop is only a suggestion. You confirm it, name it, ignore it, or delete it. Nothing becomes part of your record because an algorithm was confident.

3. 03

   It becomes a map

   Confirmed places build into a timeline and a map of where you have been — with your own notes and photos attached, on every device you sign in from.

What is worth doing, right where you are

The rest of XplorMark looks backwards at where you have been. Discover is the one screen that looks outward — the question you actually ask on arriving somewhere unfamiliar.

1. 01

   Sights, food and shopping

   Landmarks, temples, markets, museums and viewpoints near you — with a photograph, a rating, and how many people are behind that rating, because a 5.0 from three people and a 4.4 from nine thousand are not the same claim.

2. 02

   Tours and tickets

   Where an attraction has experiences you can book — a guided tour, a river cruise, skip-the-line entry — XplorMark points you at them through its travel partners. It never books on your behalf and never holds your payment details.

3. 03

   Directions, and then out of the way

   One tap hands the place to your maps app for directions. Turn-by-turn navigation is somebody else's solved problem, and you want to be walking, not admiring our routing.

Some partner links earn XplorMark a commission. It costs you nothing, it is always labelled, and it never changes which places are shown or the order they appear in.

Compare travels, without handing over your map

Travel is worth comparing — but the usual way of doing it means publishing where you live. XplorMark's social side is built the other way round: everything is off until you switch it on, and each thing you switch on is separate.

• Countries and cities, not addresses. Share which countries you have been to, or which cities, without sharing a single exact place.
• Compare with a friend. See where your travels overlap and where they do not — who has been where the other has not.
• Exact places stay off by default. Sharing the precise location of a Mark is its own setting, and it starts switched off.
• Private areas are never shared. Anywhere you mark private is excluded from everything above, always.
• Found by email only if you allow it. Somebody typing your exact address can send a request. It shows them nowhere you have been.

Where it is now

XplorMark is being built. It runs on Android today and is in private testing; iOS follows. There is nothing to download yet, and this page will say so plainly until there is.
