Under three seconds.
Then back to the moment.

1

Feel it

Light through trees. A quiet view. Something that doesn't need a name.

2

Tap once

GPS, date, time, weather — captured instantly. No photo, no text, no explanation needed.

3

Look back

Your personal map grows slowly. Each point a quiet marker — with date, weather, and nothing else.

The power of leaving things out.

01

No tracking

No GPS routes, no step counters, no distance. Just single points that meant something.

02

No sharing

Your moments are yours. No social feed, no followers, no audience.

03

No gamification

No badges, no streaks, no achievements. The walk itself is enough.

04

No account

No sign-up, no login. Your data stays on your device and in your iCloud.

Your data belongs to you.

What we collect

Nothing. Here I Was does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers. All data stays on your device and, if enabled, in your private iCloud account.

Data stored locally

When you tap to mark a moment, the app saves the following on your device:

iCloud Sync

If you have iCloud enabled, your data syncs across your personal devices via Apple's CloudKit. This data is stored in your private iCloud container and is not accessible to us or any third party.

Location data

The app uses your location only at the moment you tap. There is no background tracking, no route recording, and no continuous GPS access.

Analytics & third parties

Here I Was contains no analytics frameworks, no advertising SDKs, and no third-party trackers. We do not share data with anyone.
