About this app

Stop trying to keep track of every great meal, hidden trail, and perfect hotel stay in your head. Local Notes: Map Your Memories is your private, map-based journal designed to help you pin personal memories, tips, and plans to the real-world spots that matter to you.

Whether you are a frequent traveler, a local foodie, or a weekend hiker, Local Notes gives you a better way to organize your world. Long-press any spot on the map to drop a pin, or use the "Note at Current Location" feature to capture a moment instantly. Use the map to note exactly what to order next time, record trail conditions for a favorite hike, or keep track of stops on a cross-country road trip.
