Made for where you are

Quests fit your area, the season, the weather and the daylight. AWARE asks for your location once, and approximate is enough, or you can type a state or ZIP. Nothing tracks you in the background.

  • Free, public places
  • Daylight only
  • Leave no trace
  • Never while driving
  • Nobody spends money
  • No streaks
  • No timers
  • No leaderboards

Leave no trace means never picking, taking or disturbing plants, animals, nests or feathers. Your journal keeps every seal with its photo, the day and the place, and each one makes a 9:16 share card for Stories.

Free
2 quest seals a day
Premium
No daily limit, plus bonus quests
