The planet

Built in California. At home around the world.

Every download adds another small connection across the world. I keep this map partly to say thank you, and partly for the long nights at the desk. If something made here brings a little more ease or joy to your day, that’s reason enough to keep building.

The map grows as the products meet more places.

App homes Past visits Arrivals Dropping by The studio

Visits and download activity are anonymous and shown only at city level or coarser. Live visits disappear after about 90 seconds. Coarse product and location summaries are kept for 30 days. The map never receives names, email addresses, purchase amounts, exact locations, or a stable user ID. Colorful animal names are random map aliases, not real names or accounts. An arrival appears when a download begins. It does not confirm an installation or purchase. Drag the globe to spin it; scroll to zoom.

Behind the lights

Every light is a real connection between a product and a place.

Letters & product news

The annual letter, and the odd hello.

Every December, one letter: what shipped, what got cut, what I learned. In between, the odd hello. Sometimes it comes with Rosy and Leo’s sharp critiques of new features.
