Common questions
Do I need an account?
No. The app runs without sign-up, without email, without a password — your collection stays encrypted on your device. Only if you want the automatic backup do you sign in once with your own cloud (Google Drive). Even then we receive neither data nor keys.
What happens if I lose my phone?
With cloud backup enabled: sign in on the new device and your map comes back on its own — no code, no file, nothing to memorise. Without a backup the collection is gone, for us too: we hold no copy, because we never had one.
Can I add photos?
Yes — since August 2026. Photos stay with you alone: AES-256-encrypted on your device, backed up at most into your own Google Drive, and technically never part of share links. Location data is removed from the photo. Pictures of other people belong in your collection only with their consent.
Can other users see my collection?
Only if you share it yourself. There are no other users, no feed, no matching, no leaderboards — all of that would need a server that knows content. If you want to show something, you create an image or a link, and you decide before sending what it contains: names and notes are off by default.
Why not an app from the store?
As a web app there is no 15–30 percent platform commission, updates go live immediately, and nobody can remove the app for political reasons. You install it via “Add to Home Screen” — on iPhone and Android.
What does your server know about me?
Right now, nothing at all — there is no sign-up and no payment flow. Once payment launches, exactly three things get added: a Google account identifier, the subscription status and the expiry date. No email address, no name, not a single field from the app.
