Polarsteps travel tracking app

Polarsteps is a popular Dutch travel planning and tracking application designed to help users automatically record their journeys. Founded in 2015 by Koen Droste, Maximiliano Casal, Niek Bokkers, and Job Harmsen, the platform has grown into a global community of travelers. The app uses GPS to track routes and allows users to add photos and notes, which can later be turned into high-quality physical photo albums.

The brand remains independent and is headquartered in Amsterdam. While the software development and operations are primarily based in the Netherlands, the physical 'Travel Books' resulting from the digital logs are printed through various international printing partners. The company has successfully raised multiple rounds of funding to expand its features, solidifying its place as a leader in the travel technology space.
