Good questions, honestly answered

Nothing is public by default. Every place is private to you; pins only reach a circle when you share a trip with it, and only the people you invited see it. No public feed, no browsing strangers’ maps.

An invite-only group — friends, family, a travel crew. Everyone shows up in their own colour and maple surfaces where the circle overlaps. You’re never in a circle you didn’t join.

No. maple never tracks your live location — every pin is one you place by hand — and nothing leaves your circles. Your map stays private until you decide otherwise.

No. maple runs in your browser and installs to your home screen if you want it to (PWA) — no app store required.

Yes. Your personal map, pins, routes and stats all work solo. Circles are there when you want to share — never required.

maple is in beta, so there’s no self-serve delete just yet. Email hello@maple.app and we’ll permanently remove your account and everything on your map.
