Frequently asked questions
The short version. Everything stays on your iPhone — here's what people ask most before downloading.
Odyssey is a private location journal for iPhone. It automatically maps where you've been, then lets you enrich each place with check-ins, photos, notes, people, and ratings. Think of it as a personal scratch map that fills in as you move — no followers, no feed, just your own memories on your device.
On your device only. Odyssey does not upload your location data to any server. Your location, photos, and visit details are processed and stored entirely on your iPhone.
Yes. Because all your data is stored on your iPhone, the app works without an internet connection. Your map keeps filling in and your check-ins keep saving whether or not you have signal.
No. Odyssey is designed to be lightweight and efficient with both battery and storage. It records your location quietly in the background using Apple's energy-efficient location services rather than running continuous, full-time GPS.
Unlike Google Maps Timeline, Odyssey stores everything on your device — no cloud and no account required. Unlike Foursquare Swarm, it's private by design with no social feed, followers, or sharing. And unlike Fog of World, Odyssey adds rich check-ins with notes, photos, people, and ratings on top of the map.
Yes. Odyssey is free to download and use, with no account required. Some features require a subscription — for example, adding your own custom places. Everything else, including the automatic footprints map and check-ins, is free.
