Dotted - Visited Countries Tracker

by
Someone asks how many countries you've been to. You pause. Not really sure. Most travel apps make you enter every trip manually. Date by date. It feels like filing an expense report about your own life. Your camera roll already has all of this. Dotted scans your photos and builds your history automatically on-device, no WIFI needed. Years of trips on a dot-style world map that's actually beautiful. Free. Built solo by a Norwegian indie developer.

Hey Product Hunt! Fredrik here, the solo developer behind Dotted. I started building this on a weekend as a SwiftUI experiment, just to see if I could make a cool dot-style world map with smooth animations. I loved what I built, so I started filling it with my own trips. Entering them manually, one by one. Then I realized my camera roll already had all of it. Every trip, every country, with GPS and dates going back years. I built the photo scanner, ran it on my own library, and spent the rest of the evening going through old photos I'd completely forgotten about. That moment is what Dotted is about. Would love to hear how many countries you've visited, and whether Dotted finds trips you forgot you'd taken. Happy to answer any questions!
