A travel wishlist that reads like a mosaic, not a spreadsheet

Metre2 Bucket List Globe

Add every place you want to go - and everywhere you've already been - as a card with a category, an excitement rating and notes, laid out in a mosaic grid where your most exciting places stand out. See them all on a real map, filter by wishlist or visited, and export your list any time.

Bucket List Globe, in practice

A mosaic, not a list

Places default to a card grid, not a map - the most exciting places (5-star) take up more space, so the places you care about most are the ones your eye lands on first.

Real map, real place search

Search a place name with the free Nominatim geocoder, or click straight on a real OpenStreetMap map (Leaflet tiles) to set a location - no coordinates to look up.

Category and excitement rating

Landmark, nature, beach, city, food, adventure, event or other, plus a 1-5 excitement rating you set yourself - both drive the mosaic layout and the Stats breakdown.

Mark visited without losing it

Toggling a place to visited stamps it with a date and keeps it in your list - a growing record of everywhere you've been, sitting right alongside where you're going.

Filter, search and sort

Narrow by wishlist or visited, filter by category, search names and notes, and sort by newest, name or most exciting first.

Stats that show your progress

Total, visited and wishlist counts, a percent-visited progress bar, average excitement, and a per-category breakdown so you can see what kind of travel you're drawn to.

Export to JSON or CSV

Back up your whole list to JSON, or export a CSV for a spreadsheet - re-import a JSON backup any time to restore it.

Light or dark theme

Switch between a light or dark theme that remembers your choice, so the app fits wherever and whenever you're planning your next trip.

Your list stays on your device

Every place persists in local storage, not on a server. Only map tiles and place search go out over the internet - your list itself is never uploaded anywhere.

How it compares to a Notes app or a spreadsheet

Most travel wishlists live as a scrolling Notes list or a spreadsheet row per place. Here's how a dedicated bucket-list tracker compares.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a Notes app or a spreadsheet?

Every place gets its own card with a category, an excitement rating and notes, laid out as a mosaic grid where your most exciting places take up more visual space - so your list reads at a glance instead of as rows of text. A Map tab plots every place with a location on a real OpenStreetMap map.

Can I mark places as visited without deleting them?

Yes. Marking a place visited stamps it with today's date (or one you choose) and keeps it in your list, so you build a record of everywhere you've been alongside everywhere you still want to go.

Do I need to set a location for every place?

No - a location is optional. Search a place with the free Nominatim geocoder, or click the map to drop a pin, and it fills the latitude and longitude automatically. Places without a location still show in your mosaic grid and stats, just not on the map.

Does it cost anything?

The app is free, with no trial and no in-app purchase.

Where does my list go?

Every place you add is stored on your device via local storage. Only map tiles and place search go out over the internet - your list itself is never uploaded anywhere. You can export it to JSON or CSV at any time.
