raum.
where you've been.
what is raum.?
raum. is a travel tracker for iPhone that draws the world as a grid of small dots. Countries you have been to fill in orange; everywhere else stays gray. The result is a map of where you've been that becomes more personal with every trip.
Tap a country to see its record: trips, cities, when you first went and when you were last there. Every country earns a stamp in your passport, and everything adds up to a statement laid out like a thermal-printed receipt. Turn it into a DIN poster for your wall.
The whole app speaks the language of travel paperwork: a passport, a statement, and an upgrade issued like a one-way ticket.
