// What we do

Small studio. Big curiosity.

01 / Philosophy

Learning that feels like play

Education sticks when it's fun. We design experiences that families actually want to spend time with — no screens of guilt, no joyless drills.

02 / Craft

Native, beautiful, focused

Every app is built natively for iOS, with care for typography, motion, and the quiet details that make software feel alive in your hand.

03 / Privacy

Yours, and only yours

Our app doesn't track you, sell your data, or follow you around the internet. Privacy isn't a feature — it's the foundation.

Meet Whereabouts.

A daily geography game built around a single, beautiful interactive globe — and the satisfying click of a well-placed pin.

Whereabouts

Daily Geography Game · iOS · Coming Soon

Five questions, one interactive globe, one chance a day. Test your geo-knowledge and see how long you can keep your streak alive.

How it works

Each day, Whereabouts gives you five questions, each one harder than the last. The challenge isn't multiple choice — it's spatial. You navigate an interactive globe, spin and zoom in, then drop a pin on the spot you think the answer lives. The closer your pin, the higher your score.

Build your streak

Show up every day and your streak grows. Skip a day and it resets to zero. It's the kind of small ritual that turns into something bigger over time — five minutes a day with a globe in your hand.

Play with people you love

Share your daily score with family and friends. Compare how you each handled today's questions. Talk about the ones you missed.

Subscribe for more

A subscription unlocks the friends leaderboard for richer head-to-head competition, plus additional topic packs — including capitals, countries, and more on the way.

What's next

Whereabouts is launching on the App Store soon. We're a small studio, so we focus on doing one thing well at a time — and we'll have more to share when the app is ready. Drop us a note via the contact page if you'd like to be among the first to know.

Frequently asked

When is Whereabouts launching?

Soon. We're putting the finishing touches on it now and will announce a launch date when we're ready. Email contact@inventist.io if you'd like to be notified.

How does Whereabouts work?

Each day you get five questions of progressively increasing difficulty. For each one, you navigate an interactive globe and drop a pin on the location you think is correct. Your daily score depends on how close your pins are.

Is Whereabouts free?

The core daily game is free to play. An optional subscription unlocks additional features — the friends leaderboard and bonus topic packs like capitals and countries.

What devices will it support?

Whereabouts is being built natively for iPhone and iPad. We don't currently have an Android version planned.

How does the streak work?

Play any of the five daily questions to keep your streak alive. Miss a full day and it resets to zero — that's part of what makes it satisfying.

Can I share my score with family and friends?

Yes. After completing the day's questions, you can share your daily stats with anyone. Subscribers also get a friends leaderboard for head-to-head competition.

How do I report a bug or wrong answer?

Once Whereabouts is installed, open the app and tap Settings → Support to send a report — a screenshot is ideal. Reports filed in-app reach our support team directly. We take corrections seriously and update the question pool regularly.

Do you collect any personal data?

The short answer: no. We don't ask for accounts, we don't track your behavior, and we don't share data with third parties. Read the full privacy policy for details.

// Privacy policy

Your data, your business.

Inventist is built on the belief that great software shouldn't cost your privacy.

The short version

Whereabouts is a local-only iOS app. Your scores, streak, settings, and game progress live on your iPhone — nothing is sent to a server we control. We use no analytics SDKs, no advertising networks, and no third-party trackers.

The few unavoidable data flows (Apple's App Store, Wikimedia Commons for imagery, your email if you write to us), the lawful bases we rely on, and your rights under GDPR — including how to exercise them — are all spelled out in our full Whereabouts privacy policy.

Read the full policy

The complete, GDPR-compliant Whereabouts privacy policy lives at:

inventist.io/whereabouts/privacy

It covers: data controller identity, the local-only architecture, how we use Wikimedia Commons for imagery, how Apple StoreKit handles payments, what happens when you email us, lawful basis for processing, your rights (access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction, objection — and how to use the in-app Export and Reset features to exercise them), retention, security, children's privacy, and your right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
