Good stories deserve
a place in the world.

A cairn is a little stack of stones that says, someone was here. In Cairn, it’s a digital memory left at a real place. A thought, a photo, a moment worth passing on.

Something small.
Something that stays with you.
01

Leave a little of you.

Pick a meaningful place. Tuck a message, photo, or video inside a cairn for someone to discover.

02

Follow your curiosity.

Explore the globe, then head to a nearby cairn. Get close enough to uncover what’s inside.

03

Give it another chapter.

Add your own memory. A movable cairn can travel with you and find its next home somewhere new.

A reason to take the scenic route

Your everyday places.
A whole new feeling.

The park you know by heart. That quiet corner on your walk. Somewhere completely new. There might be a story there you haven’t met yet.

Keep the memories you collect, see where a cairn has travelled, and make your own mark along the way.

Stay on safe, public paths. A cairn is a discovery, not a verified route.

Leave it your way

Every cairn has
its own kind of magic.

Rooted in a place you love.
Permanent cairns

Some memories belong right here.

Leave something at a place that matters. A permanent cairn stays there, ready for other explorers to visit and collect its memories without carrying it away.

A favourite place. A lasting little mark.

Leave your mark

A world made
by people like you.

No perfect pictures required. No audience to impress. Just a little something for the next curious person who comes this way.

Download for free and find your first cairn. Optional memberships are there when you’re ready for more.

A few things you might wonder

Before you
head out.

Is a cairn an actual pile of stones?

In the app, a cairn is digital. It holds words, photos, or videos tied to a real location. You don’t need to build anything or leave physical objects behind.

Do I need to be there to discover it?

The globe gives you a view of what’s out there. Collecting a cairn and opening its memories requires getting close to its location in the app. Time capsules also have an opening date.

What do the dots on this globe show?

They’re real active cairns grouped into approximate areas, refreshed about once a minute while you’re here. Exact locations, creators, and cairn contents stay in the app.

Is Cairn free? And what about iPhone?

Cairn is free to download on Android, with optional memberships. The iOS version is in development. We’ll add the App Store link here when it’s available.

How do I delete my account or data?

You can request deletion through Cairn’s account settings or follow our data deletion instructions. For help, email support@mycairn.space.
