SoKal is a free travel map app that tracks every country, city, and US state you've visited. Log a trip and your travel map fills in automatically — no spreadsheets, no manual coloring, no premium tier. It's the travel tracker app that actually keeps up with where you've been, and it turns your history into a profile you can share with one link.
Log where you went and when. That's it.
Countries turn blue. States shade in. Cities pin themselves.
One link. Every trip. Anyone can see it.
51 countries. 106 cities. 11 US states. 513 days. See a live SoKal profile →
Circle flags, per-country trip count, and a running total of every country you've been to.
Every city you visit gets mapped and counted — not just the country, the actual city.
State-level shading for domestic travel, so your road trips count too.
Total days traveling, calculated automatically from your trip dates. No spreadsheet.
Your map shows where you're going next, not just where you've been. Planned trips glow green.
Every trip has its own photo dump, so the map is a memory too.
See where friends have been. Compare maps. Find out who's been to that place you're eyeing.

Been charges for its full feature set; SoKal is free forever. Polarsteps is strongest for photo-heavy trip journaling; SoKal is stronger if what you want is a clean travel map you can share. Wanderlog is a trip planner first and a tracker second. A spreadsheet works, but it doesn't fill in a map for you — and it can't show which of your friends have already been where you're headed.
Honest take: if you want GPS route-tracing, Polarsteps does that better. If you want a free travel tracker app that maps the countries, cities, and states you've visited — and lets anyone see it from one link — that's SoKal.
Log each trip as a travel event with a destination and dates. SoKal maps the country automatically and adds it to your running total — past trips and future ones both count.
Yes. The travel map, country and city tracking, US states, and your shareable profile are all free on iOS, Android, and the web. No trial, no paywall on the map.
Your profile shows a live count of countries, cities, US states, and total days traveled. It updates the moment you log a trip, so you never lose count again.
It does. Domestic trips shade in the US states you've been to, right alongside the countries — so road trips and weekend getaways count as much as flights abroad.
Yes — every city you visit gets pinned and counted, not just the country. Your map goes as granular as the trips you log, so a week in Tokyo and a weekend in Lisbon both show up as their own pins.
Every profile has one public link you can drop anywhere. Anyone can open it and see your map, your countries, and your upcoming trips — no app install required to view. It's built to be shared, whether that's a link in your bio or a screenshot in the group chat.
Both, plus the web. Log a trip on your phone and your map updates everywhere. It's a free download on the App Store and Google Play, and there's nothing to buy once you're in.
Been counts countries; SoKal adds cities, US states, upcoming trips, photos, and a friend layer — for free. Polarsteps is stronger for GPS route-tracing; SoKal is stronger for a shareable travel map of everywhere you've been. If you've been hunting for a free travel tracker app that maps countries and cities without a subscription, that's the gap SoKal fills.
