One Journey. One Spime. Memories From Everywhere You Go.

A journey doesn't stay in one place—and neither does a Dynamic Spime. See how friends and family can capture different perspectives throughout a trip and bring them together in one shared experience.

Travel rarely happens in one place.

A day might begin at a hotel, continue through historic streets, stop at a museum, move across the city for dinner and end somewhere completely unexpected. On a road trip or longer vacation, the journey may stretch across cities—or even countries.

And when you're travelling with other people, everyone sees something different.

A Dynamic Spime can bring all of those moments together as the journey moves.

The destination changes. The Spime moves with you.

Everyone Sees a Different Part of the Journey

Think about exploring a new city with family or friends.

Someone stops to photograph an interesting building. Someone else captures a street performer. Another person notices something everyone else walked straight past.

By the end of the day, the experience exists across several different phones.

Spime gives those moments one shared place from the beginning.

Everyone participating can capture photos and videos through the Spime camera, and their contributions come together inside the same Spime as the experience unfolds.

No collecting everyone's photos afterward. No separate group chat created just to exchange files.

Everyone contributes to the same shared record of the journey.

But What Happens When You Move?

A standard Spime belongs to a defined location.

That's perfect for a wedding venue, concert, park or other experience that stays in one place.

Travel doesn't.

That's where Dynamic Spimes come in.

When you make your Spime Dynamic, it moves with you as the person who created it changes location. Your group can continue participating as the journey moves from one place to the next.

Instead of creating a new Spime at every stop, take the same Spime along for the journey.

From a City Walk to a Cross-Country Adventure

A Dynamic Spime could follow you while:

  • exploring the streets and landmarks of a new city;
  • touring museums and attractions;
  • hiking or cycling along a route;
  • taking a scenic drive or road trip;
  • travelling by train;
  • moving between destinations on vacation.

Your surroundings change, but the shared experience continues.

That makes a Dynamic Spime particularly useful for journeys where the movement itself is part of the story.

Every Capture Keeps Its Place

The Dynamic Spime moves, but the photos and videos captured along the way retain the location context of where they were taken.

So a photograph captured at the beginning of your trip doesn't lose its connection to that place simply because the Spime later moves somewhere else.

As your journey unfolds, the Spime becomes more than a shared collection of photos and videos.

Each photo carries a human-readable address showing where it was captured. On a tour or journey through multiple locations, that means you can look back later and know exactly where each moment happened—without having to remember or figure it out afterward.

Your becomes a record of different moments captured in different places along the way.

One journey. Many places. Every moment where it happened.

Keep the Experience Among Your Own People

A vacation with family or friends doesn't necessarily need to be shared with everyone.

Spime's privacy controls let you decide how your travel Spime can be discovered and who can access it.

You can lock the Spime for your group, limit its wider visibility, hide its location, or combine privacy controls to create the experience that fits your trip.

That means your group can enjoy the collaborative side of Spime without necessarily making your vacation a public experience.

Remember to Allow Background Location

For a Dynamic Spime to move correctly, Spime needs permission to use background location while the Dynamic Spime is active.

That allows the Spime to continue following its creator even when the app isn't open on the screen.

If your device asks for “Allow all the time” location access when you create a Dynamic Spime, make sure you grant it. Without the required background permission, the Spime may not move correctly.

When the Journey Ends

Eventually, the vacation ends. The road trip reaches its destination. Everyone goes home.

But the Spime you've created or followed can remain in your Archives, keeping the experience together so you can return to it later.

Instead of memories scattered across several people's phones, you have the journey as everyone experienced it—different people, different perspectives, different places, all brought together.

And perhaps that's the most interesting part of using Spime while travelling:

No single person has to capture everything.

Everyone captures what they see.

Together, you capture the journey.

Take the trip together. Capture it together. Keep it together.

Keep Moving

Take Your Spime Wherever the Journey Goes.

Dynamic Spimes move with you, keeping the people, places and moments of your journey connected in one shared experience.
