v1.0.1

July 21, 2026 · App Store submission — We are here

  • Improved city search: destinations that previously could not be added (Belgrade, Singapore, Hong Kong) now resolve via a bundled list of 513 curated travel cities, instant and offline, with MapKit as the long-tail fallback.
  • Improved settings sheet: dragging to close is now smooth, and the title stays pinned while the sheet scrolls on smaller screens.
  • Fixed a bucket layout glitch: extra space no longer appears around the "Where to?" card after checking off the first place in a bucket.
  • Filter your buckets: the buckets overview gains a search field to find a city fast once your list grows past a handful.
  • More place categories: hotels and lodging, civic buildings, sports and recreation, and transport now each get their own category, so more of your places sort into the right group.

v1.1

Q4 2026

  • Loved places list: enable users to mark places as "loved". Loved places gather in a single list of the best places ever visited, sitting above the level of individual buckets.
  • Share with Baketsu: share a location from Maps (or anywhere else) straight into the app via the share sheet. Baketsu asks which bucket it belongs in, with the option to create a new one on the spot.
  • City card improvements: e.g. include country label.
  • Dark mode
  • Backup feature (export and import all data)

v1.2

Q1 2027

  • Navigation modernisation: liquid glass and native sheets update.

Baketsu v2.0+ Meguro 目黒

2027-2028

  • Home screen widget
  • Apple Watch companion app
  • Unobtrusive curation: more insightful suggestions.
