Made for the moment the forest closes behind you

MushTrail is a calm, offline navigator that does one thing well: it always knows the way back to where you stepped into the forest. It's made by two people who like building small, gentle apps that just work — even where there's no internet and no signal.

Who we are

We're not a company or a big studio — just two people who make small, calm apps together, and MushTrail is one of them. We build the sort of apps we'd want our own families to carry into the woods: simple, uncluttered, and happy to work fully offline. No accounts, no clutter, no pressure — just a big button, a clear arrow, and the quiet confidence that you'll find your way home.

The two of us are Nadya Yashchuk and Ivan Lukichev, and we handle everything ourselves — design, development and support. We work remotely, and our apps are officially published as a small sole proprietorship registered in Austria; the formal details live in our Impressum. Because it's just the two of us, every app stays personal — we choose what to build, answer our own email, and shape each release around what people actually ask for.

We brought MushTrail to the App Store in 2026, an Android version is on the way, and we're only getting started — better tracking, clearer maps and little improvements land all the time.

What MushTrail does

MushTrail remembers where you entered the forest, records your path by GPS as you wander and forage, and — when you're ready — shows a big arrow pointing straight back to your entry point, with the distance to walk. Because it all runs on your phone's GPS, it keeps working deep in the woods where there's no internet and no signal. Download your forest map once over Wi-Fi and it's always with you.

• Find your way back: a one-tap arrow home that turns as you turn — no map-reading skills needed.
• Works with no signal: GPS navigation that keeps going where phones usually give up.
• Mark your mushroom spots: tap to save a glade, and the app leads you back to it next season.
• Yours and private: tracks and spots stay on your phone. No account, no sign-up — navigation home is always free.

Free guides on the web

You don't even need to install anything to start learning. Right here on the site we keep a growing library of free, no-sign-up forest-navigation guides — how to use a compass, how GPS works without internet, what to do if you're lost in the woods, and an interactive compass trainer that runs right in your browser.

Our other apps

MushTrail is part of a small family of calm, offline-friendly outdoor apps. Heading up instead of in? Try Vert Altimeter — a simple offline altimeter and barometer for the trail. Curious about the places you explore? GeoQuizzes is a relaxed way to test your geography — countries, capitals and flags. We build every app with the same promise: simple, friendly, and made to help rather than distract.

Say hello

We genuinely read what people send us, and a lot of what goes into the apps comes from real suggestions from the forest. Questions, ideas, bug reports or just a kind word — reach us at contact@nadzeyayashchuk.com. For legal and company details, see our Impressum and Privacy Policy.
