Three apps. Three new ways to see what you already have.

Each Ash app starts with a familiar problem and solves it without asking your personal photo library to leave your device.

01 / TRAVEL & MEMORIES

Park History

Private park passport for iPhone

Rebuild years of national and state park visits from the dates and locations already attached to your photos.

63 national parks
3,483 state-managed park units
Repeat visits & maps

Park History turns your camera roll into a living passport—matching photos to park boundaries on your iPhone, grouping them into trips, and bringing every return visit back into view.

The Ash approach

Personal software should feel personal—not invasive.

Photos hold places, wildlife, and memories that are easy to overlook. We use on-device intelligence to help you find them while keeping the private context around them where it belongs.

Your photos stay yours.

Core photo analysis happens on your device, not an Ash Apps server.

You stay in the loop.

Uncertain matches and cleanup decisions remain reviewable by design.

Useful beats noisy.

Focused tools, clear controls, and no feed competing for your attention.

Independent by design

Small studio. Serious craft.

Ash Apps builds focused software for people who care about the places they visit, the animals they notice, and the photos they keep. Feather Trove is available now, with Park History and TriggerSort submitted for App Store review.
