A national parks app for tracking visits, stamps, and memories
GoParks is a quiet iPhone app for the parks you've been to. Check in when you visit, collect passport-style digital stamps, and look back on your park history whenever you feel like it. Not the official NPS app — a personal companion that lives alongside it.
Why a national parks app?
People who visit national parks usually want two things from their phone. One: information about the park itself — trails, alerts, services, ranger schedules. The official NPS app handles that. Two: a way to remember they were there. That part usually ends up scattered across the camera roll, with no dates, no notes, and a lot of "wait, was that 2022 or 2023?"
GoParks is built for the second job.
Not the official NPS app
The National Park Service publishes their own free app with park-specific maps, alerts, and ranger info. GoParks doesn't replace that — they coexist. The NPS app is for the day of your visit. GoParks is for the years afterward, when you want to remember you were there.
Built for iPhone, kept private
Native iOS. No account required. No GoParks server seeing your data. Your visits live on your iPhone and sync to your iCloud private database — encrypted under your Apple ID, ours to neither read nor lose.

Frequently asked questions
Is GoParks the official NPS app?
No. GoParks is an independent iPhone app. The official National Park Service app is a separate free app from the NPS for park-day logistics. The two work alongside each other.
Does it work for Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and other popular parks?
Yes. All 63 U.S. National Parks are supported, along with national monuments, lakeshores, recreation areas, and Canadian national and provincial parks — 272 in total.
Can I track which parks I've visited?
Yes — that's the point of the app.
Is GoParks available for Android?
Not at the moment. GoParks is iPhone-only.
