Your history belongs to you.

Kiri is built so that your location history stays yours alone. Last updated 8 November 2026.

Stays on your iPhone

Your history lives on your device, with a copy in your own private iCloud.

No server, no account

No sign-in, analytics, ads or third-party code that collects data.

Never sold or shared

Data leaves your phone only when you export or share it yourself.

What Kiri records

Your location, in the foreground and, with your permission, in the background, to clear the fog on your map and keep your Journal.
Motion activity (walking, cycling, driving), only to show how you are moving on your map.
Names you give places, quests you finish and your settings.

Where it is kept

On your iPhone. Everything above is stored in the app on your device.
In your iCloud, if you use it. Kiri keeps a copy of your history in your own private iCloud database so you can get it back on a new phone. Apple stores it under your Apple Account; the developer cannot see or read it.

Kiri has no server, no account and no sign-in. It contains no analytics, no advertising and no third-party code that collects data. Maps, boundaries and places are built into the app, so looking at the map sends nothing anywhere.

Sharing

Kiri never sells or shares your data. It leaves your device only when you choose to send it: exporting your history as a GPX file, or sharing a story image.

Your choices

Change or turn off location access at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
Pause recording with the Exploring switch in Kiri's Settings.
Export your history as GPX from Kiri's Settings > Advanced.
Deleting Kiri removes everything it stored on your iPhone. To delete the iCloud copy too, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Manage Account Storage, choose Kiri and delete its data.

Children

Kiri is not directed at children under 13 and collects nothing about anyone.
