Every place you go back to.
idam is a travel map that remembers every return. The hill station you've visited since childhood, your grandparents' town, the beach you go back to every December: see every visit, and how each place changed.
A map of the places that hold you
Organised by place, not by trip.
Most travel apps organise memories by trip or by country count. idam organises them by place over time. Every visit adds a new layer to a place, and its pin on your map gets one more ring, like a tree. Import your photos and idam reads where and when each one was taken, on your phone, and groups them into places, so a return trip becomes a new visit, not a duplicate pin.
