Designed for real explorers
We built this for people who actually travel — not people who scroll. Every feature serves the adventure.
Visit to Collect
Just show up. When you enter a location, your patch unlocks automatically — no check-ins or QR codes needed.
Offline Adventure
Deep in a canyon? No signal in the park? No problem. Everything works offline and syncs when you reconnect.
Track Your Progress
See your journey unfold across collections. States visited, parks explored, cities conquered — all in one place.
Real Celebrations
Every unlock deserves a moment. Animated reveals, progress updates, and the satisfaction of watching your collection grow.
Background Detection
Not glued to your phone. We detect arrivals in the background and notify you when there's a patch to collect.
Sync Across Devices
Your progress is safe. Reinstall, switch phones, log in anywhere — your collection follows you.
Trip Planning
Create custom routes, optimize your travel order, and export directly to Google Maps or Apple Maps. Plan once, explore forever.
Map Discovery
See all patches on an interactive map. Find what's nearby, filter by collection, and discover your next adventure around the corner.
How unlocking works
Enable location tracking
Grant background location permission. We only check your position against patch locations — never stored or shared.
Visit a patch location
Enter any state, step into a national park, or visit a city landmark. We detect arrivals automatically.
Celebrate your unlock
Get a notification, open the app, and enjoy the reveal. Your patch is now part of your permanent collection.
No cellular required
GPS works offline. Deep in nature? Your unlocks are saved locally and sync when you have signal again.

I planned our entire Southwest road trip in the app and exported it to Google Maps. 12 national parks, perfectly optimized. Best road trip we've ever done.

The map view changed everything. I was killing time in Denver and discovered there were 3 patches within 20 minutes of me. Spontaneous exploring is the best.

Finally got my 50th state patch and unlocked the master badge. That completion screen was worth every mile.

My kids are obsessed with collecting state patches. Best thing to happen to family road trips since podcasts.

As a park ranger, I love seeing people motivated to explore. This gamifies travel without ruining the experience.
