Re-connect with the real world. With Traces you can leave and share memories in the form of photos and videos and tie them to real world locations... until they are collected. No more social platforms, no more follower bases to build, no more likes and cats videos. It’s just you, the people you love and meaningful shared memories.
A memory can be something old you just found deep in a drawer, or something cool that just happened and you know it’s gonna be a special memory forever.
••• Night out with friends? Snap a photo and leave it where you are. It will be a future memory in no time.
••• Celebrating a special occasion with your loved ones? Take a video and let it digitally float forever where it all happened. It will be such a wonderful memory to have, and only the people you want will have access to it.
••• Someone you know is living far away? Surprise them by sending a photo or a video to their favourite location, or outside their new house or why not, at their office! They will love it!
*** PRO TIP *** You can also use Traces to leave recommendations of things you like in your favourite spots around the world, for your friends to discover.
You can send Traces anywhere just by selecting a place from the map. It’s easy and fun.
Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life
