MapScore quietly records your trips, stops and every street you explore, then keeps your history encrypted on your phone. No account. No ads. Your diary is never uploaded.
Free to use · iOS 17 or Android 7.0 and newer
Set it up once. From then on, MapScore records the places and paths of your life in the background.
Choose “Always” on iPhone or “Allow all the time” on Android so MapScore can record while the app is closed. Motion access makes departures quicker to notice.
Put your phone away. MapScore recognises trips, stops and how you moved, and turns GPS off whenever you stay put.
See where you were, relive a trip street by street and watch your Lifetime Map and ExplorerScore grow.
MapScore notices where you went, how long you stayed and the way you got there, without you pressing a thing. Open any day and see a clean timeline of every café, walk and meeting.
Each journey is drawn on the map in the colour of how you travelled. A day trip to Sintra and Cascais becomes one clear picture of the road you took.
Every street you travel fills in your own map of the world. Watch your explored area grow week after week, city after city.
ExplorerScore rewards the streets you have never walked before, with rings for your day, month and year. Count the countries you have visited and collect badges along the way.
Day, week, month and year views add up your distance, time on the move, places and routes, and show how you travelled.
Take your history as GPX, GeoJSON or CSV whenever you like, or move it to a new phone with a password-protected encrypted backup. Erasing it all takes one step.
Location history is some of the most personal data there is. MapScore was built so it never has to leave your phone: there is no MapScore account, and your diary is never sent to a MapScore server.
When Google moved Timeline off the web, many people lost years of location history. Cloud timelines get shut down, mined for ads or quietly switched off. MapScore keeps your timeline on the phone in your pocket, in formats you can take anywhere.

Yes. MapScore builds a timeline of your trips and stops automatically, like Google Maps Timeline did, but it keeps everything in an encrypted database on your phone instead of in an account. It also adds a Lifetime Map, ExplorerScore and export to GPX, GeoJSON and CSV.
No. Your routes, stops, places and statistics stay on your phone, and MapScore has no account. If you turn on Google Maps street maps, Google receives the map area you are viewing. If you turn on automatic address names, the coordinate of a confirmed stop may be sent to your phone’s geocoding service. If you choose to share with the World fog, MapScore sends only coarse map squares of about 1 km, never routes, dates or times, and leaves out the squares around your home, work and regular places. All three are optional, and World fog sharing is off unless you turn it on.
No. There is nothing to sign up for. Purchases are handled by the App Store or Google Play.
MapScore uses precise GPS only while you are moving. When you stay in one place it switches GPS off and uses your phone’s low-power location checks to confirm you are still there. Battery use depends on your phone and how much you move.
MapScore records a route only from precise fixes. When the signal is weak it leaves a gap rather than drawing a guess, so what you see is what really happened.
Yes. Export raw points as GPX, GeoJSON or CSV at any time, or create an encrypted backup protected by your own password to move your full history to a new phone.
Open Settings, then Data & privacy, and erase your history. Uninstalling MapScore also removes everything stored by the app on that phone.
MapScore is free to download and use, including recording, your whole history, the Lifetime Map, Insights and export. MapScore Premium, an optional purchase through the App Store or Google Play, only lets Ask answer from history older than the last 7 days. Current prices for your country are shown on each store listing.
Yes. MapScore runs on iPhones with iOS 17 or newer, from the App Store, and on Android 7.0 or newer with Google Play.
