Places by Gyroscope

Places by Gyroscope is a location journal from Gyroscope Innovations. Once its tracker is switched on, it records the places you visit and the journeys between them, building a timeline and map you can return to days or years later. It aims to capture not just venues such as restaurants, workplaces and gyms, but also the mode of travel between them, with dozens of travel types including walking, driving, buses, trains, rideshares and bikes. The app can connect to Apple Health to show steps, VO2 max and workouts alongside your movements, and it can generate share cards with maps, timelines and visualizations of a trip. A paid Places Unlimited tier stores your full history; new accounts get 30 days of storage, and data can be exported. Version 1.3, released on October 17, 2026, lists optimized layouts for iPhone Duo among its improvements. The same update makes it easier to identify several places at once, adds a setting to skip short stops, stops GPS drift from splitting a single visit in two, can show multiple transport types within one journey (for example a walk followed by a train ride), and improves city detection for its Passport feature.
