WHIB (WhereHaveIBeen) is a travel-memory map app: you turn the places that moved you into geolocated 'engrams' — sensory memory capsules capturing the five senses — pinned exactly where they happened, on a private world map. It's free to start and private by default. Below are the most common questions about how it works.
WHIB (WhereHaveIBeen) is a travel-memory app. Instead of losing your trips in a camera roll, you pin the places that mattered on an interactive world map and capture each one's five senses — what you saw, heard, smelled, tasted and touched. It's a private, sensory travel journal.
An engram is WHIB's core unit: a geolocated memory capsule. It's a pin on the map that holds the five senses of a specific place and moment, captured in about 20 seconds while it's fresh.
Photos and location history capture where you were; WHIB captures how a place felt. It doesn't track you in the background — you intentionally add the places worth remembering, with their sensory detail, and everything stays private by default.
Yes. WHIB is private by default. Your memories are yours; you choose what to share and with which trusted friends, if anything.
Yes. WHIB maps and counts the countries you've been to, alongside the individual sensory memories inside them — so you get both the overview and the moments behind it.
Yes, WHIB is free to start. A paid tier, Whib+, adds expanded limits, travel statistics and premium features for 4,99 €/month or 49,99 €/year.
WHIB is a web app that works in your browser and installs on iOS and Android as a progressive web app (PWA) — no app store required to get started.
Yes. You can share selected memories with friends you trust and discover theirs, with achievements to unlock together — while keeping everything else private.
It depends on what you want. WHIB is the better fit if you value privacy and want to capture how places felt rather than auto-logging every step or just counting countries. See our detailed comparisons for Polarsteps, Google Maps Timeline and Been / Visited.
