### idam (live beta)

idam is a travel map and journal built around the places you keep going back to. Most travel apps organise memories by trip or by country count. idam organises them by place over time. Every visit adds a new layer to a place: photos, a note, a story. Its pin on your map gets one more ring.

Import your photos and idam reads where and when each one was taken, on your phone. It groups them into places, so a return trip becomes a new visit, not a duplicate pin. You can compare the same place years apart, get "on this day" memories, and follow friends' travels.

Idam means "place" in Malayalam and Tamil. Website: https://idam.app · Details: https://ascentailabs.com/products/idam
