Search naturally
Try requests such as favorite photos from last year, sunsets in Portugal, or pictures from a particular camera.
Photo Explorer
Find any travel photo without remembering when you took it.
Photo Explorer turns the mapped photos already on your device into a private, searchable travel archive. Ask for a place, a year, a camera, a favorite, or a combination in everyday language, then move through results on a map or timeline.

How it helps
Search the story, not the camera roll.
Mapsake combines location, time, source, and the organization you add yourself, while keeping the index and every search on your device.
Explore every angle
Browse automatic collections, a travel timeline, map-area results, recent searches, and saved searches.
Organize privately
Add favorites, ratings, notes, tags, and labels without uploading the photo library or its index.
Built for real libraries
Persisted indexes and caches keep large mapped libraries responsive instead of rebuilding the search experience every time.
Questions
What travelers ask.
Does Mapsake upload my photos to search them?
No. Photo matching, indexing, organization, and search run on your device.
What can Photo Explorer search?
It can search mapped photos by place, year, camera, source, notes, elevation, speed, favorites, screenshots, edits, and combinations of supported details.
Can I browse without typing a search?
Yes. Collections, the map, timeline, saved searches, and recent searches all provide visual ways back into the library.
Build the atlas once, then keep discovering it.
Mapsake is free on the App Store and keeps your core travel history under your control.
