About this app
Places by Gyroscope is a location journal from Gyroscope Innovations. Once its tracker is switched on, it records the places you visit and the journeys between them, building a timeline and map you can return to days or years later. It aims to capture not just venues such as restaurants, workplaces and gyms, but also the mode of travel between them, with dozens of travel types including walking, driving, buses, trains, rideshares and bikes. The app can connect to Apple Health to show steps, VO2 max and workouts alongside your movements, and it can generate share cards with maps, timelines and visualizations of a trip. A paid Places Unlimited tier stores your full history; new accounts get 30 days of storage, and data can be exported. Version 1.3, released on October 17, 2026, lists optimized layouts for iPhone Duo among its improvements. The same update makes it easier to identify several places at once, adds a setting to skip short stops, stops GPS drift from splitting a single visit in two, can show multiple transport types within one journey (for example a walk followed by a train ride), and improves city detection for its Passport feature.
App Store descriptionWritten by the developer.
Places by Gyroscope is the easiest and most powerful way to track your life. Turn on the tracker once. Places quietly maps everywhere you go, and how you got there. Open the app tonight, next week, or five years from now, and it is all there: a detailed timeline and map of where you went. Not just the places (restaurants, cafes, work, the gym, thousands of custom locations) but the trips between them. Did you walk? Drive? Take a bus, a train, a rideshare, a bike? Dozens of travel types are available, to capture the complete timeline of your life—the places you go, and the travels that take you there. You probably remember what you did today. Maybe yesterday. But what about last week? Three months ago? Five years back? Memory fades fast. Places is designed to automatically capture it. And with Places Unlimited, you can store your full life history with no limits. (New accounts get 30 days of complimentary storage, with the option to export at any time) AN AUTOMATIC JOURNAL See where your time actually went. Reflect on your week. Read the story of your life, written by simply living it. LIVE AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE Connect your Apple Health to see analytics of your steps, VO2Max and workouts. Places gives you the tracking and feedback to live and maintain an active lifestyle. TRAVEL, AND SHARE IT Customizable share cards export maps, timelines and visualizations of any trip, whether it was around your neighborhood or around the world. Post them, send them to a few close friends, or keep them entirely to yourself. WORK AND MILEAGE Track driving in a company vehicle for mileage logs and tax forms. Track hours on a jobsite for billing. If your job requires you to be somewhere, Places is the record, and it saves hours of manual entry. FOR THE WORLD TRAVELER Every city and country you have been to, with the time you spent in each. Useful for tax residency, visa applications, Schengen day counts, and medical forms. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Sharing is granular, so you decide exactly what leaves your phone: anonymized city stats, a simple visualization, or a detailed map. Your data is never sold. There are no ads. Places is part of the Gyroscope network and uses the same account as the Gyroscope app and website. MEMBERSHIP Free members get 30 days of storage to see how it works and to start building their timeline for zero cost. During that time, you can save unlimited images or export your data as CSVs. Premium membership unlocks advanced reports and analytics, with unlimited storage in Gyroscope Cloud so your whole history lives in one place across years or decades. Membership is what funds the service, and we never show ads or sell data. Gyroscope Places Premium is an annual subscription, costing $96/year in the United States. Prices may vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and renews automatically each year unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. WHAT MEMBERS SAY "Love being able to go back in time, it feels like a superpower at times.
