Odyssey - Keep track of where you've been, automatically & privately

Odyssey builds daily scratch maps of where you've been using your iPhone's location, and lets you check-in to places with additional details. Everything is private and stored on your iPhone. Remember where you've been, without anybody up in your business.

Hey Product Hunt!

I'm really excited to share with you something I've wanted to build for a long long time.

Your iPhone knows exactly where you are, all the time. But most location and mapping apps use that to track you, sell your data, or push social sharing. They’re built for discovery and navigation, not memory, and adding your own context (like your photos, or ratings and notes about a place) often means broadcasting it.

I built Odyssey to do the opposite.

It’s focused, automatic, and private; built to help you remember where you’ve been, not share it.

How it works

🗺️ Logs your location in the background and builds daily maps.

📍 Lets you check-in with people, notes, ratings, photos.

🔍 Search just your check-ins and history.

🫥 No social features. No accidental sharing.

🔒 Private by design. Everything stays on your iPhone.

What's next

Importing data from other apps. Taking requests in the comments!

Partially, it reminds me https://humbo.com/ Would like to pair it so that each time I visit any country, it would send a signal to Humbo and "colour" the country on the globe.

@busmark_w_nika humbo looks nice but it looks like you gotta enter the data manually. Odyssey automatically tracks where you’ve been via your iPhones location, so you don’t have to do anything. In the future it’ll show cities/countries like humbo, but all auto-logged. I’m also working on pulling past trips via your photo library metadata.

Love the idea of a private, memory-focused app that helps you track where you’ve been without the social sharing pressure. Will there be an option to export or back up your check-ins, in case you want to keep a personal archive or share selectively in the future?

Daniel Yoo

@evgenii_zaitsev1 Yes, data export is definitely in the roadmap! It'll be super important since all your data stays on your device and isn't synced anywhere.

Hey Daniel! Really love what you’ve built with Odyssey — making apps more personal is a big deal for user experience and retention. 🔥

I help SaaS founders improve onboarding and engagement using strategic copy and emails. If you're ever looking to optimize that side of the user journey, happy to share a few insights (no strings).

Congrats on the launch 🚀 — wishing you big wins ahead!
