MyFootprints in motion

Turn your day into your story.

Watch your footprints and travel trails unfold before your eyes and tell your personal story together with photos and notes.

MyFootprints is more than tracking. It is your visual, deeply personal diary on the world map, capturing and telling your unique life story.

The idea behind MyFootprints

Your footprints tell your story.

See real footprints instead of cold lines. They follow your walking direction, are neatly grouped as you zoom out, and show you at a glance where you actually walked. Journeys by vehicle appear as subtle trails – clearly distinct from your walks.

What MyFootprints brings together

Turn your journeys into memories.

Add footprints from your past. Let your future journeys be recorded automatically. Together with photos and notes, they create a map that can only tell your story.

Your journeys on foot

See real footprints instead of cold lines. They follow your walking direction and are neatly grouped as you zoom out. Journeys by vehicle appear as subtle trails.

Your travels. Your whole life.

Filter by day, week, month or year and create your own travel periods. Rediscover individual experiences or watch your personal world grow over time.

Memories in the right place

Show geotagged photos from your gallery where they were taken. Capture special moments with notes. Show or hide photos, notes, footprints and travel trails individually.

Bring your past back to life

Add footprints in places you have already been – from your birth to today. Choose Barefoot, Sneaker, Flip-Flops and other designs, and make the colours your own.

A look inside the app

You decide how your story looks.

From close to home to far away

A hiking trail. A journey. A whole world.

Filter by day, week, month or year, or create your own travel periods. Zoom in on your footprints or discover them scattered across continents. Many individual traces become your personal story.

How it works

Your personal world map grows with you.

Choose your footprint

Choose your design and colour under “Footprints”. Add manual footprints to include places from your past.

Capture the journeys ahead

Under “Tracking”, enable recording while the app is open. To record with the screen off too, also enable “Background tracking” and grant the required location permissions.

Relive your story

Choose a day or travel period. Discover your footprints, photos and notes on the map, and relive individual days as a day video.

Day video

Your day as a story

Do more than see where you were. Relive your day.

Relive individual days as day videos. Watch your traces unfold before your eyes and tell your personal story together with photos and notes. Save or share the videos.

You choose which memories appear in the video settings.

A MyFootprints day video shows a personal note at the right place and time — Notes tell what made a moment special

A day video shows a memory photo at the right place and time — Photos appear at just the right moment

A day video shows how footprints and a travel trail connect — Travel trails connect your experiences

An everyday walk becomes a sequence of personal footprints

Personal traces connect familiar places on the map

Everyday life is part of your story

Even the familiar path belongs to your story.

Life is shaped by more than great journeys. A walk, a familiar route through town or a loop around the park is just as much a part of your unique journey through this world.

Over time, you create more than a collection of routes: you create a picture of where your life has happened.

Your memories

Your memories stay in your hands.

Your footprints, travel trails and notes are stored locally on your device. Your photos stay in your device gallery. You decide what to see on your map, share as a screenshot or video, or delete again.

You can switch off automatic recording and optional place names at any time. For online maps, the app connects to Mapbox. Read our privacy policy for more about this and optional place-name lookups.
