How to switch from Pin Traveler

Moving to TripMemo does not automatically transfer your Pin Traveler data. Keep any existing records you want to preserve.

Start with one past trip or your next itinerary.

Set up TripMemo on iPhone. Track countries visited, explore your travel stats and save destinations to your bucket list.

Bring your photos into a TripBook. Upload photos available in your camera roll, then add notes, captions and places. This starts a TripBook from your photos, rather than importing another app’s journal.

Plan your next trip. Generate a personalised AI itinerary or build days manually. Edit days and activities, then create a TripBook directly from your plan.

Capture and share the journey. Add photos and notes offline and sync when you reconnect. Invite TripBook contributors or share a view-only browser link.

TripMemo combines country tracking, travel stats, itinerary planning and journaling. You can keep using Pin Traveler alongside it if that suits you.
