Stand where
your life happened.
Type any address on Earth and you are standing on that street, looking around, able to walk it. The house you grew up in. The street your mother grew up on. The corner that is not there any more. Keep the ones that matter and they become an atlas of your own life.
Free on the web right now, with nothing to install. An App Store version is planned for December.
Free while it is in beta. No account, and every place you keep stays in your own browser. Every street you stand on costs us something to show, so the App Store version will be a paid plan, and we will post the price here before it goes live.
Go stand somewhere →Every visit begins from orbit
You start at a real Earth turning in space, with the line between day and night drawn where it actually falls right now. Type a place and the planet rotates it to the middle, then you fall all the way to the curb in one unbroken move. Arriving somewhere should feel like arriving.
Then you walk it
You land facing along the road, not sideways into a wall. Turn, then step. Hold the button and you keep walking, the way you would actually go down a street. Walking a street here has to feel as good as the map app you already use, and that is the one part of this app that outranks everything else.
Four shelves, and a note
Anything you keep lands on one of four shelves, and each one gets a year, a line in your own words, and a voice recording if you want one.
- Where I grew up. The street you knew best.
- Places I have been. The ones worth standing in again.
- Places I dream of. Somewhere you have never stood. Yet.
- Gone now. Torn down, rebuilt, or renamed. Still yours.
Tonight, wherever you are
A quiet page that tells you what the sky is doing. The real Earth photographed from a million miles out, turned toward one of your places, with the phase of the moon and how much earlier the sun will set tomorrow. It is the same app in a lower voice, for the end of the day.
A closer look
Real screens from the app running in a browser.
Private by default, and it stays that way
There is no account and no sign up. Every place you keep, every note you write, and every voice recording you make lives in your own browser's storage on the device you made it on. We never see them. There is no public feed of anybody's home, and when you share a place the card names the city, never a house number and never coordinates. Street imagery is shown live and never copied or stored by us, so what you see is the real world rather than a picture of it we kept. The full policy, written from the app's actual code, is at svltmk.com/keptatlas/privacy.

KeptAtlas works in your browser today. An App Store version is coming. Leave your email and we will send you one message, once, on the day it goes live. That is the only reason we would ever write to you.
