Pick places by hand
Switch on countries grouped by continent, tick US states, or type a city and the country fills in automatically.
Free forever, no files needed
Every place you've been, found again.
Wayback turns your location history, bookings and photos into a private map of the countries, cities and trips you've actually taken. No spreadsheets. No guessing from memory.
The sample map holds countries, cities and trips.
Early preview. Web first, with iPhone and Android apps planned.
Location history
Email & bookings
Photos
Manual entry
From scattered files to a finished map
Start with whatever you already have. Wayback pulls out the places and dates, then you decide what counts.
Bring what you already have
Upload a location history export, add photos, or let your own AI assistant pull bookings out of your email. Prefer to type it in? Pick places from a list.
Review what was found
Every trip arrives with its source and a confidence level. Keep it, edit it or reject it before anything is counted. Questionable entries stay in a separate list.
Get your map
A rotating globe and a flat map, passport-style stats, a trip timeline and a page you can share with a link.
Bring it from anywhere
Every source feeds the same map, and every visit remembers where it came from. Mix as many as you like.

Good to know
Short answers to what people ask first.
Do I have to give Wayback access to my email?
No. You copy a prompt into your own AI assistant, which searches your mail with your access and returns a file. You check it and upload only that file.
Where does my location file go?
The design keeps the raw file on your device. It is read in your browser or app, and only the places and dates you approve are saved to your account.
I have an iPhone. Can I still use it?
Yes. Location history exports come from Android, but photos, email, calendar, GPS tracks, check-in apps and manual entry all work on any phone.
Can I mix several sources?
Yes. Each visit keeps its source and you choose which sources take priority if two disagree.
Is Wayback available yet?
It is in an invite-only preview. You can sign in with email, Google or Facebook, mark places by hand, import a file, and make a shareable card of your map. Location-history and photo imports are still being built.
Can I sign in with Instagram?
Not at the moment. Instagram no longer offers a sign-in option to apps for ordinary accounts, so Wayback uses email, Google and Facebook.
What does it cost?
Picking places by hand is free. Explorer is $24 for a year or $59 for life, and covers every import. Each is one payment, so nothing renews behind your back.
How can I pay?
With a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Stripe. Zelle and bank transfers are not available, because they cannot confirm a purchase automatically.
