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.

TripBooks + pages (not a map)

Each trip becomes a digital book. Each day becomes a page. Photos and notes live together, so your trip reads like a story—not a list of pins you'll never revisit.

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

Mark O'Travel Alternative Questions

Quick answers to the questions people ask before switching.

Is TripMemo a good Mark O'Travel alternative?

Yes—if your goal is to preserve memories and tell stories, not just track countries and regions. TripMemo turns each trip into a TripBook with pages (photos + notes), map pins, offline mode, and real-time collaboration.

Does TripMemo track countries and regions like Mark O'Travel?

TripMemo tracks countries you've visited and shows travel stats, but it's focused on memories, not detailed tracking. If you want region-by-region tracking, UNESCO sites, and custom categories, Mark O'Travel is better. If you want to remember the stories, TripMemo is built for that.

Can I still see my trips 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.

Does TripMemo work offline while traveling?

Yes. You can add photos, write notes, and edit TripBooks while offline. Everything queues locally and syncs automatically when you're back online.

Can my friends add their photos to the same trip?

Yes. TripMemo supports real-time collaboration. Multiple people can add photos and notes to the same TripBook and changes appear instantly across devices.

Can I share a TripBook with people who don't have the app?

Yes. You can generate a share link. Anyone can open it—if they don't have TripMemo, they're prompted to download, then the TripBook opens directly. Access is limited to that TripBook only.

Does TripMemo have a built-in vintage camera?

Yes. TripMemo includes a vintage camera with 4 custom LUTs, designed to make your travel photos feel timeless and intentional.

Can I bulk upload photos after a trip?

Yes. You can bulk upload past trips in a few taps. TripMemo automatically sorts photos into days and chronological order so your TripBook reads like a story.

Can I download everyone's photos from a collaborative trip?

Yes. In collaborative TripBooks you can download all images—no more messy group chats and missing photos.

Does TripMemo have UNESCO site tracking or custom lists?

No. TripMemo is for memory preservation, not detailed tracking. It's designed to capture moments, stories, and context—not to categorize every site you visit.
