The idea
“A place is more than what it looked like.”
EchoAtlas turns short sounds into memories you can return to. Each recording becomes an Echo. Together, they form your personal Atlas.

One tap now.
A doorway back later.
EchoAtlas is designed to stay out of the moment. Record quickly, add only the details you want, then let your Atlas remember the rest.

Your memories, placed in the world.

Every Echo stays close.

Your context
Enough detail to bring it back.

Honest playback
The waveform comes from your sound.
EchoAtlas calculates real waveforms from the original audio file and plays that same local recording back to you.

Questions
The useful details.
What is an Echo?
An Echo is one sound memory: an original audio recording plus its date and any optional place, note, tags, photo, favorite, or Journey association you add.
Does EchoAtlas need an internet connection?
Core recording, saving, browsing, search, and playback are local. Apple Maps and Apple place-name services may use the network for map content and reverse geocoding.
Does EchoAtlas always track my location?
No. Ordinary location requests are optional and one-time. Continuous route tracking runs only for a Journey you explicitly start and stops when you end it.
Can I use EchoAtlas without location?
Yes. You can record, save, organize, and play Echoes without attaching a location. Atlas and Nearby features simply have less information to show.
Which recording formats are supported?
Mono and stereo recordings can use Compact AAC, Balanced AAC, High Quality AAC, or Apple Lossless. Spatial Audio uses Apple’s required QuickTime format on supported iPhones.
Can I export my recordings?
Yes. EchoAtlas shares the original local audio together with readable JSON metadata when you explicitly choose to export an Echo.
