What is Pebbls?
Pebbls is a free travel tracker app for iPhone and Android, made for trips where the route matters: cycle tours, long walks, sailing, paddling and van life. It records your route on a map as you go, even with no signal, and you add photos and notes (pebbls) where they happened. Your journey becomes a map, a travel blog and a flyby film to share with the people who matter.
Is Pebbls free?
Yes. Tracking, unlimited journeys, pebbls with photos, flyby films, sharing and communities are free for everyone. Explorer, the paid membership, adds live tracking, private and password-protected journeys, tracking privacy, videos in your pebbls, GPX downloads, more offline maps, journey analytics and Premium Route to video films, and helps keep Pebbls independent.
How is Pebbls different from Polarsteps?
Polarsteps is built around the places you stop, which suits holidays and city-hopping. Pebbls records the whole route you travel, every bend of it, and chapters with a few pebbls and photos become free 3D flyby films, so it suits slow journeys by bike, on foot, by boat or in a van.
Can I use Pebbls as a travel blog?
Yes, without building a website. Every journey is a travel blog that writes itself as you go: your route on a map, chapters, and posts with photos pinned where they happened. Readers open it in any browser, and those who tap Follow along get a message every time you post. Already have a blog? Put your map on it with the embed code or the free WordPress plugin.
Can others follow my journey?
Yes. Send them your journey link: they can read it in any browser, with no app needed, and tap Follow along to get a message every time you post. With Explorer, they can also see where you are right now.
What does 'live' mean?
It means Pebbls captures your journey as you travel, not after the fact from memory. It's not livestreaming or broadcasting; it's simply recording moments in real time so you don't have to reconstruct your trip later.
Does the GPS tracking work offline?
Yes. Pebbls keeps recording your GPS route with no signal, in the mountains, at sea or anywhere remote, and you can add photos and notes offline. Everything syncs when you’re back in range.
Is this like a fitness tracker?
No. Pebbls doesn't measure performance, count steps, or track speed. It's about where you went and what you experienced there, not how fast or how far.
What platforms is Pebbls available on?
Pebbls is available on iOS and Android for capturing your journeys. On the web, you can explore a feed of adventurers' journeys, with photos, maps, and comments.
