FAQ

Q1. What are check-ins?

You can record the places you visit—restaurants, attractions, and more—as check-ins to revisit them later or keep them as memories.

For spots you frequent, the app shows insights like how many times you've gone and how long it's been since your last visit.

Q2. What is companion tracking?

You can log who visited with you by tapping someone you've registered in advance, then filter by person later.

Q3. What are chains?

Saving a chain name lets you track check-in counts per chain instead of per individual location.

If the chain appears in our prebuilt list, it's set automatically. Otherwise, enter it manually. The app uses Apple Maps data, so names can vary—for example Seven Eleven, 7-Eleven, or 7-11. We reference a normalization list to absorb those differences, but it's still growing, so please report any gaps you find.

When you report one, share the official name along with any alternate spellings.
