What's new in Stampie: July 2026
The second issue of our updates series. City stamps, a brand new United States map, fresh collections for U.S. states and national parks, a big upgrade to share cards, multi-pinned collections, and a passport you can make your own.
Welcome back to What's new in Stampie. Last month was a big catch-up issue covering everything we'd shipped up to then. This month is all about what landed since: a lot of it came straight from what you asked for.
A stamp for your cities now 🏙️
This was the top of the list in June, and it's here. Stampie is no longer just about countries. You can now collect a stamp for the cities you've explored too.
Barcelona, Bangkok, Cape Town, the city break you almost forgot about, they each get their own stamp now, sitting right alongside the country they belong to. Your passport finally matches the way you actually travel, one trip at a time, not one country at a time.
New collections to chase
Alongside cities, we've been busy filling the catalog with new things to collect. A few of the new arrivals:
- U.S. states. All 50, each shaped like the real state. Road-trippers, this one's for you.
- U.S. national parks. All 63, from Yosemite to the Everglades to the wild ones up in Alaska.
- Islands. For the trips that were all about getting off the mainland.
The core country, continent, city, and island collections are free. Specialty sets like wonders, marathons, U.S. states, and national parks come with Pro.
The U.S. states set was a real labor of love. Each stamp takes the actual shape of the state, so Texas looks like Texas and Florida like Florida, and watching them line up in your passport is oddly satisfying. It's easily one of our favorite collections to have curated.
The national parks set runs just as deep, all 63 of them:
The U.S. states and national parks collections are available with Stampie Pro.
And you don't need the app to start. We turned a few of these into free interactive checklists you can tick off right here on the blog: the U.S. states checklist, the U.S. national parks checklist, and the seven wonders checklist. Your progress saves on your device, and whenever you're ready, the same collections are waiting in Stampie.
A brand new map: the United States
Until now, your travels lived on one world map. This month a second map joined it: a detailed map of the United States that fills in state by state as you go.
Watch it color in as you collect your state stamps, with your count and progress right there. It's the same satisfying "watch it fill up" feeling as the world map, zoomed all the way into one country. The U.S. map is a Pro feature, and it's the first of more regional maps to come.
Both maps are fully zoomable now too. Pinch in and pan around to get up close to exactly where you've been, on the world map and the U.S. map alike.
Share exactly what you want
Share cards got the biggest glow-up this month.
- Choose what shows up. You're now in control of what lands on your card, so you share only the parts you want to.
- Your map, on a card. Turn your travel map itself into a share card and show off where in the world you've been in one glance.
- Share a single trip. Beyond your whole passport, you can now share one stamp entry as its own beautiful card, ready to post anywhere.
Pin more than one 📌
Last month you could pin one collection to the top of your Stamps tab. Now you can pin as many as you like and keep your bucket lists side by side.
Feature the one you care about most as a big card, line the rest up underneath, and drag them into whatever order makes sense to you. Newly pinned collections jump to the top, and the whole thing updates the instant you tap, with a little haptic nudge to confirm. Your pins also stay exactly where you left them now, even after you log out and back in.
Make your passport yours
Your passport doesn't have to look like everyone else's anymore. You can now customize it: pick a cover design, add decorations, and choose your own map colors so your travels look the way you want them to. Passport customization is a Pro feature.
The social side is starting
Stampie has always had shareable profiles, but until now there was no real way to stumble onto other travelers. That's starting to change.
We've added a passports directory on the web, a place to browse other people's public passports and see how the rest of the community is filling up their maps. It's an early first step, web-only for now, and it's the beginning of making following other travelers a real part of the app. Bringing it to the phone is next on the list.
Plus the usual polish
Under all of that, we spent a lot of time on the quiet stuff: faster, smoother pinning, tidier collection browsing, and a fix for a date bug that could show a trip a day early depending on where in the world you were. None of it makes a headline, but together it's what keeps the app feeling calm to use.
What's next
We're still filling out the catalog and the map lineup, and the passports directory is heading to the phone next, with more social features to follow. As always, the best way to shape what comes next is to tell us what you want.

Behind Stampie
The idea for Stampie started in Peru 🇵🇪, back in 2023. I’ve always loved collecting passport stamps, that small thrill of seeing a new one land at the border. On that trip they just waved me through. No stamp. A small thing, but it stuck with me.
Turns out a lot of countries have quietly stopped stamping. A couple of years later I built the first version of Stampie for a hackathon, somewhere to keep that little ritual alive even when the ink doesn’t come. A passport-style journal for anyone who still wants this souvenir from every trip.
It quietly found its way to people. As an indie team, we keep working on Stampie in coffee breaks, on weekends, and from wherever the next trip takes us.
