A personal atlas
Map everywhere you’ve been.
Tell Footprint where you have been, in your own words. It builds a private atlas of the places you lived in and the routes you traveled.
Free to use. No other user can see your atlas.

Footprint draws it on your globe

Start with a short interview
Footprint asks where you grew up, where you studied, where you have lived, where you have been and which flights you have taken. Drives, train rides, buses and ferries are optional. Your globe fills in while you answer. Skip a question or stop at any point.

Where did you study?
City and years, if you studied away from home.
What else Footprint does
A log of every entry
Grouped by year and filterable. Every place and leg is one tap or one Tab key away.
A trip on its own map
Name a trip when you want one, and open it as a flat map with its legs in order.
Suggested fixes
Footprint spots likely duplicates and missing ways home. Nothing changes until you accept.
Your travel in numbers
Countries, cities, distance by mode, the people you traveled with, and your years.
Private by default
- Your atlas has no public page, and no other user can see it.
- Footprint stores your atlas in a database in Frankfurt, Germany.
- Export your whole atlas as one atlas.json file, or delete your account, at any time.
