There are no private messages. None, there never have been, and there is no way for anyone to contact you.
A real person reviews every submission and every photo before it goes on the map. There is no nudity anywhere in the app.
Clothing-optional here means ordinary, non-sexual nudity, the same as a European sauna or a quiet beach. Plenty of spots are swimsuit-only. The map tells you which is which.
You cannot look people up. No profile browsing, no "who's nearby", no swiping. The only thing anyone shares here is what a place is like.
Go to one, say what it's actually like, and you're credited on it as the first person who did. Permanently.

One honest map of places to soak, sweat, and swim, from Germany and Japan to the Pacific Northwest.
Every spot tells you the things you actually need to know before you drive out there: whether it's legal, where to park, how far the walk is, what the water is like, and what a first-timer should expect. Some spots are swimsuit places. Some are clothing-optional. The map tells you which is which, and you choose.
Most of the map is in Germany, Japan, South Korea, France and Spain, with more than twenty other countries besides. Nanitch started in the Pacific Northwest, and that is still where the hand-written guides are deepest, but the pins are not from here any more.
Some are written up by hand: how to get in, whether it's allowed, what to expect. Others are listed from public map data and nobody has been yet. You can always tell which is which.

The map is only as true as the last person who went. So Nanitch isn't a directory somebody published once. It's kept true by the people using it.
A gate gets locked for the winter. A forest road washes out. A spring runs cold, a sauna changes its hours, a beach quietly stops being tolerated. A printed guide has no way of knowing any of that, and neither does an app that scraped a list once and walked away. The useful part of Nanitch isn't the pins. It's the person who drove out there last weekend, came back, and said what they found.
Stand there, tap once, and everyone who looks after you knows it was still true on that date, and who checked.
Quiet or packed. Water warm or freezing. Gate locked, road washed out, litter, or that a place felt unsafe.
Plan a soak day, see who else is heading out, and turn up at the same time if you feel like company.
The spots you've been, the badges you've earned, and the places you were the first person ever to confirm.

Most of these places aren't famous, nobody is paid to look after them, and some get trashed by people who don't care about them. It is a map anyway, because there isn't much nature within reach of most people, almost nobody knows where it is, and the ones who do go are usually the ones picking up after everyone else.
Ten thousand places are on the map. Three hundred and one of them have actually been written up. The rest are real places at real coordinates that nobody has been to for us yet, and we say so on every one of them rather than dressing them up.

Where we've been enough times to write it down properly.
Each guide covers one kind of place in one region: what the law actually says there, where to park, how long the walk is, which spots suit a first visit, and which ones nobody has confirmed yet. A region only gets a guide once enough of its spots have been visited, which is why the guides are still American while the map is not.

Three steps. You don't need an account for any of them.
The map is the whole app. Nothing to install. To add it to your home screen: open the map in Chrome, tap the ⋮ menu, choose Add to Home screen.

It takes about a minute, and you don't need an account. A moderator reads every submission before it goes on the map. If something on an existing spot is wrong, the same form is the place to tell us.
