Why Driftlog

Effortless. Private. Yours.

It fills itself in

Runs quietly in the background, noting where you are only when you reach a new place. You never have to open it.

It never leaves your phone

Your location and history stay on your device. Your travel history is never sent to a server. No account, no ads, no analytics.

Buy once. No subscription.

Pay once and it's yours forever. No monthly fee, no yearly fee — ever.

How it works

From the day you install it.

01

Install & forget

Then just travel the way you always do. No check-ins to remember.

02

Backfill from photos

Driftlog reads your photos' locations and fills the map with trips you've already taken.

03

Come home to a map

Open the app to a world map that's already colored in, with a timeline of every trip.

A look inside

Your travels, beautifully kept.

Auto

A diary that writes itself.

See where you were on this day, years ago — without ever writing an entry.

Map

Watch your world map fill in.

Every country you visit colors itself in. A map that's all your own.

Memories

Every visit, every city, remembered.

Tap a country to relive the whole story — dates, cities and photos.

Timeline

Your whole travel life, year by year.

Countries, trips, days on the road — all counted for you.

Privacy

Automatic — but yours alone.

Most travel apps keep your location history on their servers. Driftlog doesn't.

  • Your location and history stay on your device
  • Your travel history is never sent to a server
  • No account, no ads, no analytics, nothing sold
  • Only place-name lookups ever leave your phone
Everything stays on your phone — your travel history is never sent to a server.

FAQ

Good questions.

Does it drain my battery?

No. Driftlog doesn't keep GPS on constantly — it only notes a location when you move to a new country or city, so the impact is minimal.

Is my data really private?

Yes. Everything is stored on your device. The only thing that ever leaves is turning coordinates into a place name so the app can show where you've been.

Is there a subscription?

No. Driftlog is a one-time purchase. Buy it once and keep it forever — no monthly or yearly fees.

Can it capture past trips?

Yes. Driftlog can backfill your map from the location data already in your photos.

iPhone and Android?

Currently iPhone only (iOS 17 or later). An Android version is in development, but there is no release date yet.
