Trace is a hyper-local memory map. Drop your memories at real places, choose exactly who can see them, and rediscover them — and your friends' — when you pass by.
Simple by design, private by default.
Drop a "trace" at any real place — a short memory and a photo, pinned to that exact spot on the map.
Choose per trace: public, friends-only, or private. Your private memories stay yours alone.
Send friend requests by username or email. Friends-only traces appear only to people you've accepted.
Get a gentle notification when you walk near a trace someone left for you to find.
Saved on your device first, then synced across all your devices the moment you're back online.
A gentle daily limit keeps the map about moments that matter — not endless noise.
Set visibility on every single trace.
Visible to anyone signed in to Trace. Great for places worth sharing with everyone.
Visible only to friends you've accepted. Personal, but shared with the people who matter.
Visible to you alone. A quiet, personal journal pinned to the world.
Three simple steps.
Sign up with your email and pick a unique username so friends can find you.
Tap a spot on the map, write a memory or add a photo, and choose who can see it.
Find friends' traces, reply to memories, and get notified when you pass somewhere special.
It's free. Create your account and pin your first memory in under a minute.
Start nowTrace is an independent project built around a simple idea: every place holds a memory. We help you leave yours, share them on your terms, and rediscover the ones that matter. We don't sell your data, and you stay in control of who sees what.
