Auryn FAQ.

Auryn is a travel logging app where each memory is a pin on your world map, anchored to verified coordinates (GPS capture, anchored place search, or a photo-assisted flow). Alongside pins you get captions, badges, lifetime stats, a chronological friend-aware feed, global/city Explore, three map lenses, and moderation tools.

• An honest atlas of cities and countries you've actually visited.
• A low-noise timeline of friends' pins, trips, and badge moments.
• Country and distance stats grounded in GPS reality.
• Upgrading to Auryn Pro when you need trip workspaces, scripted camera-roll imports, PNG share exporters, richer media, globe/year recap tooling, personalization.

Open Auryn, walk the guided pin wizard at each memorable stop (free accounts can keep up to ten pins with up to three photos each), save captions/tags, tune privacy when you publish. Subscribe to Pro for unlimited pins plus batch library import and Trip boards.

Yes — Auryn is a GPS-first travel journal. Every pin is verified by your device's GPS at the moment of capture, so the resulting journal and map reflect places you actually went.

Yes. Auryn maintains a live count of countries, cities, and continents you've pinned, with badges that unlock as you hit milestones.

Yes. Free includes up to ten lifetime pins per account, up to three photos per pin, journaling, badges, stats, friendships, chronological feed surfaces, Explore, three map lenses, standard map styling.

Auryn Pro removes the pin cap (unlimited pins), raises photo limits (up to ten per pin), unlocks the Trips workspace, scripted bulk imports from geotagged library photos, designer PNG exporters for pins and trips, globe + year recap, short pin videos, optional weather payloads when available, extra basemap/marker/highlights/alternate-app-icon personalization. Billing runs through Apple/Google — see Terms.

No. Auryn only uses location when you drop a pin or import a geotagged photo. There is no always-on background tracking. See the privacy policy for the full details.

No. Pins start with conservative visibility (FRIENDS or stricter presets depending on onboarding). Widening audience to fully public journeys is deliberate and per-pin/trip scoped.

No. Auryn does not sell personal or location data, ever.

From within the app, go to Settings → Account → Delete account. Account deletion removes your pins, trips, and personal data per the privacy policy.

Bulk library sweeps driven by GPS EXIF are part of Auryn Pro. Anyone on Free can still attach geotagged photos inside the wizard one pin at a time.

Passport, polaroid-style, boarding-pass, and film-strip layouts render portrait PNG artwork sized for Stories. Opening the exporters requires Auryn Pro.

The app awards roughly 24 reconciled badges for breadth (countries touched, continental ladders), thematic regions, revisit behavior, richly photographed arcs, Polar/Tropic feats, EQUATOR crossings, streak weeks — silently, no leaderboard.

Auryn invests in truthful coordinates plus calm surfaces before flashy feeds. Serious storytelling tools (trip boards, scripted imports, exporters, globe choreography) deliberately sit behind Pro so casual pinners aren't charged for cinematic extras they rarely touch.

Auryn is a name we picked for a travel app — short, memorable, with a faint feeling of compass-and-talisman. Pronounced "oh-rin."
