Mapmory lets you pin personal memories — photos, moods, notes, and dates — to the exact location on Earth where they happened.
What is Mapmory
Most memories live in a camera roll — a flat grid with no sense of place or feeling. Mapmory is different. Every memory you capture gets pinned to the exact spot on Earth where it happened, with the mood you felt, the photo you took, and the words you wrote. Over time your map becomes a vivid, personal atlas of your life.
Whether it's a first-date café, a mountain peak you finally reached, or a hidden street food stall you want to remember forever — Mapmory keeps it precisely where it belongs.
Features
Your memories appear as emoji pins on a full-screen map. Zoom in to any city, neighbourhood, or street and see exactly what happened there.
Tap anywhere on the map to drop a pin, or let GPS place it automatically at your current location. The place name is resolved instantly.
Choose from 15 emoji moods to tag how you felt. The mood becomes the marker on the map, turning your atlas into an emotional landscape.
Attach a photo from your library to any memory. It's displayed beautifully on the detail screen and embedded in shareable story cards.
Toggle any memory private. Private memories are hidden at the database level — not just on screen — so only you can ever access them.
How it works
Sign up with your email, verify with a one-time code, and set up your username and profile photo.
Tap the + button, tap anywhere on the map, and give your memory a title. That's all you need — everything else is optional.
Attach a photo, pick a mood, write a description, set the date, and choose whether to keep it private.
Browse your map, search your memories, and share story cards to Instagram or WhatsApp with one tap.
Mapmory is built on Supabase with Row Level Security enforced at the database level. Private memories are invisible to everyone but you — not just hidden on screen, but filtered out before they ever leave the server.
Download the APK directly and start pinning your memories to the map today.
Because this is a direct APK download (not from the Google Play Store), Android will ask you to allow installation from unknown sources. This is normal for developer and beta releases. Follow the steps below to enable it safely.
Tap the Download APK button above. The file will save to your device's Downloads folder.
Open your Files app (or My Files on Samsung), navigate to Downloads, and tap mapmory-v1.0.0.apk.
Android will show a prompt saying it's blocked. Tap Settings → enable Allow from this source → go back and tap the APK again.
On Android 8+: Settings → Apps → Special app access → Install unknown apps → choose your browser or file manager → enable it.
The system install screen will appear. Tap Install and wait a few seconds.
Once installed, tap Open or find the Mapmory icon in your app drawer. Sign up with your email to get started.
A Play Store listing is in progress. Once published, you'll be able to install and auto-update Mapmory through the Play Store normally. For now, the APK above is the official release.
Everything you need to know about Mapmory.
Try different keywords, or pick a category from the sidebar.
Mapmory is a geo-journalling app that lets you pin personal memories to the exact location on Earth where they happened. Each memory can include a photo, mood emoji, description, date, and notes.
Think of it as a living, interactive diary on a map. Over time your map fills up with the places that matter most — a first-date café, a mountain summit, a hidden street market you stumbled upon.
Open the app and tap Sign Up. Enter your email and a password of at least 6 characters, then tap Create Account. We'll send a 6-digit verification code to your email — enter it on the next screen to activate your account.
After verification you'll complete a quick 3-step setup: choose a username, add a profile photo and bio, and grant location permission.
Location is the heart of Mapmory. When you add a memory the app centres the map on where you are right now, so you can drop a pin precisely without scrolling the globe manually. Mapmory only uses location while the app is open — it never tracks you in the background.
From the Home tab, tap the pink + button in the bottom-right corner. A full-screen form opens with a mini-map — tap anywhere on it to drop your pin. Then fill in a title (required), and optionally add a description, mood, photo, date, and notes. Tap Add Memory to save.
Tap any pin on the map or any card in the Memories list to open the View Memory screen. At the bottom you'll see Edit Memory (pencil icon) and a Delete button (trash icon). Deleting asks for confirmation — the action is permanent.
When Private is on, that memory is visible only to you. It won't appear on any shared or public view. This is enforced at the database level — other users cannot access it even if they know the memory ID.
Yes. The Date & Time field defaults to right now, but you can edit it freely when creating or editing a memory. This lets you add memories from the past — a holiday from last year, for example — and have them appear in the correct chronological position in your list.
Yes. In the Add or Edit form, tap Add photo in the Media section to pick an image from your library. Mapmory currently supports one photo per memory. To replace it, remove the existing photo and add a new one.
Use the search bar at the top of the Home tab. It filters across memory titles, descriptions, and notes in real time. Matching pins stay visible; the rest are hidden. The map also flies to the first matching result automatically.
Yes. Open the memory and tap Edit Memory. The mini-map shows the current pin — tap anywhere on it to move the pin. The place name will automatically update to reflect the new location. Tap Save when done.
Tap the locate me button (the crosshair/target icon) on the Home map. This centres the map on your current GPS position and zooms in. Make sure location permission is granted in your device Settings for this to work.
Go to the Profile tab → tap Edit Profile (or open Settings → Account information). From there you can change your avatar, username, and bio. Tap Save when done.
Email support@mapmory.world with the subject line "Delete my account" from your registered email address. We process all deletion requests within 48 hours. Deletion is permanent and removes all your memories, photos, and profile data.
All data is stored on Supabase (AWS infrastructure), encrypted at rest and in transit. We never sell your personal data. Photos are stored in a private object-storage bucket; profile avatars are stored separately in a public bucket.
Android blocks APKs from outside the Play Store by default. To install:
Also check that your device runs Android 10 or later and has at least 100 MB of free storage.
Check that you've granted location permission: Settings → Apps → Mapmory → Permissions → Location → Allow only while using the app. Also make sure GPS is enabled at the system level. If the problem persists, close and reopen the app.
Memories require an internet connection. Also check that your memory has a title (required) and a location pin (tap on the map in the Add Memory form). If you're logged in on multiple devices, try logging out and back in to refresh your session.
Check your spam or junk folder first. If it's not there after a minute, tap Resend on the verification screen. Codes expire after 10 minutes. If you still don't receive one, email support@mapmory.world and we'll verify your account manually.
Use Settings → Report an issue inside the app, or email support@mapmory.world. Please include your device model, Android version, and a description of what happened. We read every message.
