PhotoFlight
Your travel map, built from the photos you already have. PhotoFlight reads the location stamps in your library to map every country and city you've visited — passport, flight log and future trip wishlist, all on your phone.
On-device only
No tracking
Works from old photos
No account
One-time purchase
Your travels, already mapped
Open the app and the history you've been carrying in your camera roll turns into a map. No new logging, no live tracking — just the places your photos already remember.
What it does
A full travel map, passport and flight log — assembled from the location data already inside your photos, then a wishlist for the trips still to come.
Travel passport
Counts countries visited, cities explored, flights taken and total distance travelled — built from your library.
Trip albums
Groups your photos into trips by destination automatically, with dates and places already attached.
Flight log
Detects journeys between distant places by reading the time and location jumps between your photos.
Travel plans
Add future destinations to a free wishlist and tick them off as your trips become memories.
On-device, no account
All scanning and map-building happens on your phone. No uploads, no servers, no sign-up.
Retroactive, not from scratch
Most travel apps only start mapping the day you install them. PhotoFlight does the opposite — it reaches back through the photos you already have and rebuilds years of trips in one pass.
- Works from old photos, not just trips you start today.
- No background location, so no battery drain.
- Everything stays on your device, encrypted by the system.
- No accounts, no cloud, nothing uploaded anywhere.
Who it's for
PhotoFlight is for people searching for a travel map app from photos, a Polarsteps alternative, or a private travel tracker that does not rely on background location collection. It is especially relevant if you already have years of travel photos and want value from the history you already carry in your library.
Retroactive by design
Most travel apps start tracking from install day. PhotoFlight is built for people who want to rebuild years of trips from old photos.
Privacy-first mapping
The on-device approach is a real difference if you want to explore your travel history without handing over live location or a social feed.
No battery tradeoff
Because it works from photos you already took, it avoids the background tracking that many travel apps depend on.
For photo-heavy travellers
If your memories already live in your camera roll, PhotoFlight feels far more natural than logging every movement by hand.
Built for trust
