Every shipped surface, plainly listed.
Auryn anchors on pins backed by truthful coordinates — live GPS captures, anchored place search, or photo workflows that still respect honest geography. The free tier keeps that compass tactile with up to ten lifetime pins, three photos each, badges, Explore, chronological feed optics, and three map lenses. Auryn Pro removes the archival ceiling, introduces the Trip workspace plus scripting for camera-roll ingestion, activates PNG share-card exporters, unlocks cinematic globe/year recap tooling, richer media (ten photos plus short clips, optional weather where data permits), personalization packs — see each section below.
Free vs Auryn Pro (at a glance)
- Free: 10-pin cap (server enforced) · three-photo galleries · journaling/captions · privacy toggles · home feed · Explore · badges · insights · friendships · notifications · map lenses · core basemaps/markers · manual pin creation wizard.
- Pro: Unlimited pins · up to ten photos per pin · short pin videos · trip boards (planned/active/completed, collaborator invites & phantom stop tracking UI) · bulk EXIF-guided import · passport/polaroid/boarding-pass/film-strip exporters · globe + cinematic presets · year recap PNG · curated profile-highlight studio · alternate app icons · premium basemap palettes & localized labels · finer marker styling · richer capture quality & optional weather payloads.
GPS-verified pins
Pins record coordinates and place metadata together with captions, tags, galleries, verification flags, phantom placeholders for itineraries, revisit prompts, and social attachments (likes, comments).
Pin drafting & anchored search
The guided composer covers GPS-led or photo-led starts, anchored nearby searches with mileage guardrails, captions, tagging, optional Trip attachment previews before upload — exporters stay latent until Auryn Pro entitlements certify the device/session.
Privacy & visibility
Choose PUBLIC · FRIENDS · PRIVATE semantics per pin/trip storyline so explorers, pals, or just future-you maintain appropriate contrast. Blocking, reporting, and moderation primitives align with SeventwoTwo’s safety inbox.
Personal world map
Profiles render choropleths, clustered markers, bubbles, arcs, projections (Mercator + Robinson presets), attribution-safe Mapbox canvases — Pro unlocks orbital globe choreography + stylized basemap/marker palettes.
Map lenses · Explore · feed
- Your atlas — canonical personal geometry.
- Friends' lens — overlays consenting collaborators.
- Public/community lens — moderated inspiration atlas.
- Explore + city scouts — browse thematic grids without TikTok-esque ranking.
- Quiet feed — chronological arcs of friends rather than influencer velocity targets.
Travel graph & collaborations
Follow graph, inbound/outbound invites, mutual checks, trips membership states, RSVP surfaces, tagging invites on pins — all coexist with sane notification preference plumbing.
Journal & captions
Markdown-ish emphasis inside captions binds memories to locales; trip-level narration unlocks visually once Auryn Trips activates (see Pro tier).
24 travel badges
Badge logic unlocks trophies for milestones — graduated pin totals, continental breadth ladders, revisit cadence cues, EQUATOR crossings, polar & tropics stamps, streak weeks, richly photographed stops — without leaderboards or point grinding.
Stats & derived telemetry
Countries, continents, kilometer chains, durations, pacing heuristics, monthly peaks — recomputed honourably whenever pin truth mutates rather than inflated vanity counters.
Trip workspace Pro
Trips tabs hydrate only for Pro subscribers — list + detail + edit canvases visualize planned/active/completed lifecycles, cover selection, collaborator management, phantom-to-captured progress, routed cartography overlays, outbound share intents (PNG exporters still Pro-gated independently).
Bulk geotagged import Pro
BulkImportFlow verifies RevenueCat entitlement before iterating camera-roll selections, hashing duplicates locally, hydrating EXIF payloads, enqueueing uploads, surfacing quotas — shrinking multi-year backlog ingestion from hours → minutes versus manual wizard loops on Free.
Designer share-card exporters Pro
Passport, polaroid, boarding pass, and film-strip layouts render portrait PNGs tuned for IG or WhatsApp. Opening either exporter checks your Pro entitlement before rendering.
Motion media on pins Pro
Short clips travel through trimming + upload choreography, preview on map/feed timelines, and remain Pro-exclusive alongside larger galleries.
Memory nudges
Optional resurfacing rhythms remind you ethically of anniversaries; tunable amplitude + dismissal paths respect humane defaults.
Globe view & cinematic presets Pro
Orbital rigs, ambience tint packs, pitched camera choreography unlock from the Globe lab once Pro entitlements certify the device profile.
Year in review exporters Pro
Annual recap art mirrors the share pipeline — Wrapped-style panels stay Pro-only alongside trip/pin exporters.
Personalization sundries Pro
- Extra basemap styles plus optional English/non-English label emphasis.
- Pin marker wardrobes, curated highlight strips on profile, collectible alternate launcher icons.
- Weather stitching through Open-Meteo when entitlement true.
- Image picker fidelity bumps when saving memory lanes.
What Auryn intentionally does not do
- No recommendation algorithm pretending to maximize rage-clicks.
- No always-on passive GPS breadcrumbs — foreground capture or deterministic EXIF only.
- No monetizing latent location graphs to brokers.
- No leaderboards incentivizing reckless travel fabrication.
