Everywhere you’ve been, on a globe you fill in.
Globsie is a travel journal built around a real 3D globe. Tick off the countries you’ve visited, keep a journal of every trip with your photos, share the trips you choose with friends, and print your world as a poster.

The globe
Watch your world fill in.
Tick a country and it fills in on a real 3D globe. Cities drop pins, and the journeys between them are drawn as arcs: violet for trips you took, orange for the ones you’re planning.
- Search to fly anywhere, then tap a country for everything you did there.
- The country shapes ship with the app, so the globe draws with no connection at all.
Getting started
Years of travel, in minutes.
Start with the list. Run down every country and tap the ones you’ve been to, and a decade of travel is on the map before your coffee goes cold.
Then add the detail to whichever trips deserve it: the cities, the dates, the story. Or don’t. A ticked country is a complete record on its own.
The journal
Keep more than a checkmark.
Every trip gets a journal: a row per day, with what happened and the photos that go with it. It reads back day by day, stop by stop, and every photo opens full screen.
- Dates as exact as you remember them: 2019, June 2019, or the very day.
- Group stops into one journey, give it a title, rate the places.
- Search finds a trip by what you wrote in it, not only by its name.
- Close the app mid-entry and your draft is waiting when you’re back.
Friends
Share the trips you choose.
Add friends by username or QR code. Switch a trip to Friends, tick the days and photos that go out, and it shows up in their feed as a photo post they can heart and comment on.
- No strangers, no followers, no public profile. Only people you’ve both accepted.
- Photos are re-encoded without their location before they’re shared.
- A friend’s profile shows the countries you’ve both been to, and the ones only they have.
The poster
Print your world.
Turn your map into a poster: story or square, a flat map or a globe, four skies, any range of years or just one, your name on it.
Save it to your photos, or export a print-quality vector PDF. No watermark, no charge.
You, in numbers
See how far you’ve really gone.
Coverage of the world, distance travelled, your furthest-apart places, your longest streak of years, charts by year, and 42 milestones to unlock.
- A wishlist shaped like your trips, with a target date and how excited you are.
- Goals you set yourself, like ten new countries by 2028, filled in by the trips you log.
Your data
Private until you share.
Globsie is a journal, not a feed. It works on your phone without an account, and nothing leaves it unless you decide it should.
No account needed
Every trip, journal entry and photo lives on your phone. An account only adds a backup, sync between devices, and Friends.
Photos stay with you
A photo leaves your phone only if you share it with friends, without its location, or switch on photo backup, a private copy only you can reach.
Friends see what you pick
Nothing is shared until you share a trip, and then only the days and photos you tick. Never your map coordinates or your goals.
No ads, no analytics
There’s no advertising, and we collect no analytics of our own. The map component’s telemetry is switched off.
Stored in the EU
If you sign in, your records are kept in Germany (Frankfurt), inside the European Union.
Yours to take
Export your whole log as a file whenever you like, and delete your account from the app in a few taps.
Questions
Good to know.
Do I need an account?
No. The app works completely without one, and nothing is hidden behind signing in. An account adds a backup, sync between your devices, and Friends.
Is Globsie free?
Yes. Globsie is free to download and has no ads. Posters come with no watermark and no charge.
What can my friends see?
The trips you switch to Friends, with only the journal days and photos you tick, plus your numbers and the countries on your wishlist unless you turn those off. They never see your map coordinates, trips you haven’t shared, your goals or your email address.
Are my photos backed up?
Only if you turn it on. Photos stay on your phone until you switch on photo backup, which keeps a private copy in your account that only you can reach.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The map’s country shapes are part of the app and your records are stored on your phone, so the globe and your journal work with no connection. Only signing in and syncing need the network.
Is it on Android?
Globsie launches on iPhone first. An Android version is in the works.
Coming soon to the App Store.
Globsie is being tested on iPhone right now. Write to us and we’ll tell you the day it’s out.
