Automatic discovery
Your camera roll already remembers
Around a World reads capture dates, library-added dates, and attached locations to find the shape of past travel.
Your camera roll, stamped
Your travel history is already in your camera roll.
Around a World privately turns the locations attached to your photos into a world map and a collectible passport of the countries, states, and provinces you have visited.

On-device by design. No account, upload, ads, or tracking.
COUNTRIESstamped from your memories
Three private steps
From camera roll to passport
- 01
Allow Photos access
Choose full or limited access. You can also skip Photos and add places by hand.
- 02
Metadata stays private
Dates and attached locations are processed on-device. Image pixels are never requested.
- 03
Your passport appears
Countries fill in, with state and province detail across the United States and Canada.
A world made personal
Everything you remember, beautifully filed
Automatic where the evidence is strong. Honest whenever it is not. Always yours to edit.
World map
Watch the countries fill in
Confirmed countries become a living map of everywhere your photos can place you.
Passport stamps
Every country, collected
Photo-backed visits receive a full stamp. Places you add yourself stay honestly marked as added by you.
States & provinces
See how far you have wandered close to home
The United States and Canada open into state and province progress, filled from the same private photo metadata.
Review queue
Uncertainty never becomes a fact
Possible layovers, border ambiguity, and conflicting evidence wait for you to confirm, correct, or discard.
Manual entries
Make room for older memories
Add countries, states, and provinces that predate your camera roll without inventing dates or city details.
Share cards
A passport worth sending
Create story and square cards with verified country counts—without exposing exact dates, coordinates, or a home location.
Included share styles
Pick the cover that feels like your trip
Classic, Midnight, and Sunbaked share-card styles are all included. There is no subscription or paid upgrade.
Inside the app
A passport designed to be kept
Swipe to wander through the passport.
Nothing leaves your phone
A travel app that knows when not to know.
Around a World reads only the dates and locations attached to the photos you select. Exact coordinates are reduced before storage, and only country and supported subdivision results become part of your passport.
There is no developer-operated backend, so XYK Labs never receives your photo metadata or your passport.

Field notes
Questions before departure
Does Around a World look at my photos?
No. The app never requests image pixels. It reads the capture date, library-added date, and location metadata attached to the photos you choose.
Do I have to give access to my whole library?
No. Limited Photos access works, and you can change your selection in iOS Settings. You can also use manual entries without granting Photos access.
Which subdivisions are tracked?
Around a World currently tracks U.S. states, including Washington, D.C., and Canadian provinces and territories. Everywhere else is tracked at the country level.
What happens when a place is uncertain?
It waits in a review queue with a plain-language reason. You decide whether to confirm, correct, or discard it, and your decision survives rescans.
Is there a subscription or paid upgrade?
No. The map, passport, subdivision tracking, review tools, manual entries, and every share-card style are included with the app.
Can XYK Labs recover my passport?
No. There is no account and no server-side copy. Your passport lives on your device, so XYK Labs cannot recover it after app data is erased.
