What you get with TripMemo

The Memory Stack
built for real travel

Everything below is designed around the TripBook: pages, places, people, and the feeling of reliving the trip years later—without needing physical products.

TripBooks + pages (not a print catalog)

Each trip becomes a digital book. Each day becomes a page. Photos and notes live together, so your trip reads like a story—beautifully designed for your phone, not just for conversion to print.

Offline mode that keeps up

Write notes, add photos, reorder pages—offline. TripMemo queues everything locally and syncs automatically when you're back online.

FAQ

Journo Alternative Questions

Quick answers to the questions people ask before switching.

Is TripMemo a good Journo alternative?

Yes—if your goal is to preserve memories digitally rather than convert them into physical products. TripMemo turns each trip into a TripBook with pages (photos + notes), map pins, offline mode, and real-time collaboration.

Does TripMemo create printed books and canvas prints like Journo?

No. TripMemo is digital-first. It's designed for memory preservation on your phone and cloud—not for converting trips into physical products. If you want canvas prints or printed travel books, Journo is built for that.

Can I still see my trip on a map?

Yes. TripMemo uses maps for reflection: TripBooks appear as pins on your world map, and each TripBook has its own map with your memory pins—so you can relive where moments happened.
