People who switched from Instagram
Hear from travelers who made the switch and why they stayed.
“I used to post every trip to Instagram, but the photos became about likes, not memories. TripMemo is private by default—I actually look back at my TripBooks without worrying what anyone thinks.”
Emma L.
Solo traveler • Los Angeles, US
“Our Instagram became a highlight reel, not our real trip. TripMemo captures the in-between moments too. No pressure to make everything perfect.”
Tom & Maria
Couple
“Instagram algorithm killed my travel photos. My best shots got buried. TripMemo is MY library—chronological, complete, mine. No algorithm deciding what I see.”
Jake W.
Photographer • London, UK

TripMemo is great at Private Memory
Different purposes. Instagram broadcasts highlights. TripMemo preserves memories.
If you want public engagement

Best for
