A living map of painted stones
Explore stones near you, in your city, or around the world. The map gives a search area, not someone else's private location.
Stobi turns the painted-stone hobby into a living map. Add your stone with photos, hide it in a safe public place, and follow every find, comment, reward, and re-hide. Real art. Real walks. Real journeys.
Stobi connects the offline magic of painted stones with the tools the hobby was missing: approximate locations, photo verification, journey history, and an international community.
Take two photos so Stobi can remember the design. Give the stone a name and a small note before it goes out into the world.
Choose a safe public place on your walk. Stobi shows an approximate search area, so people can explore without exposing your exact location.
Every find, comment, photo, and lock status stays attached to the stone, so its history does not get lost.
Stobi keeps the charm offline, but adds the missing layer: where stones are, who found them, whether they are still there, and what happened next.

Stobi gives the painted-stone hobby its own map and memory. You paint a real stone, hide it in a safe public place, and the app keeps the journey: who found it, where it moved, whether it was re-hidden, and what people added to the story.
Yes. Painting, hiding, finding, chatting, following journeys, and using the core map are free. Premium is optional: it adds quality-of-life perks, extra cosmetics, and stronger rewards for people who want to support Stobi.
Stobi shows an approximate search area instead of exposing exact personal coordinates. Your real-time location is used to show nearby stones and verify finds, but it is not shared with other users as a live location.
Stobi is 13+. We check age on sign-up and moderate tightly to keep the community safe for kids and families. No harassment, no explicit content, no personal contact details — ever.
You earn diamonds for real participation: hiding stones, finding stones, getting your own stones found, achievements, and launch bonuses. Diamonds unlock mascot cosmetics and help make each walk feel rewarding.
Yes. Stobi's world map lets you hide and find stones outside Finland too. Stones are added by the community, so availability varies by area. If there are no stones nearby yet, you can start by hiding the first one. Join the international chat to share ideas with others.
