The Problem

Why Group Travel Memories Get Lost

Shared albums and group chats weren't designed for collaborative memory preservation.

Scattered Across Devices

Everyone has different photos. Half the trip lives on your phone, half on theirs.

Lost in Group Chats

'Send me that pic' turns into endless scrolling through months of messages.

One Person Documents

Usually one person does all the work. Everyone else's perspective is missing.

No Story, Just Files

Shared albums are folders, not stories. No context, no narrative, no soul.

TripMemo solves all of this with one shared TripBook.

Everyone contributes. One beautiful story. Real-time collaboration.

How Sharing Works

Three Ways to Invite Collaborators

Getting everyone into the same TripBook takes seconds. Choose the method that works best.

01

QR Code

Generate a QR code they scan with their phone. Perfect for inviting people in person at the start of a trip.

02

Share Link

Send a link via message, email, or any app. One tap and they're in. Works even if they don't have TripMemo yet.

03

Direct Invite

If they're already on TripMemo, invite them directly by username. They'll get a notification instantly.

Collaboration Features

Built for Everyone

Journaling Tips

Journaling Tips for Collaborative Travel

Make the most of your travel memories with these practical journaling strategies.

01

Assign a Trip Captain

Designate one person to create the TripBook and send invites before departure. This ensures everyone's connected from day one.

02

Capture Different Perspectives

Encourage everyone to add their unique moments. The street food one person noticed, the sunset another captured—these different perspectives make the story richer.

03

Add Notes, Not Just Photos

Photos capture what happened. Notes capture how it felt. Encourage everyone to write quick captions or stories alongside their photos.

04

Sync Before You Split

If you're traveling with people you might not see again, make sure everyone syncs their offline additions before parting ways.

FAQ

Shared Journal Questions

How does real-time collaboration work in TripMemo?
When you invite someone to your TripBook, they can add photos, notes, and memories simultaneously with you. Changes appear instantly across all devices. You can see who's adding what in real-time, making it feel like you're building the travel story together even when you're on different devices.
Is TripMemo free for collaborators?
Yes! When you invite someone to your TripBook, they can join and contribute for free. They don't need a paid subscription to add photos, write notes, or view the shared trip. Everyone collaborates equally, regardless of who created the TripBook.
Can I control who sees what in a shared TripBook?
Absolutely. TripMemo gives you full control over privacy. You can make a TripBook private (only you), shared with specific people (invite-only), or generate a view-only link for family to follow along. You decide who can edit vs. who can only view.
How do I invite people to my TripBook?
You can invite collaborators in three ways: generate a QR code they scan, send a share link via message, or invite directly if they're already on TripMemo. Once they accept, they have full editing access to that specific trip.
What happens when collaborators add photos offline?
TripMemo works offline for everyone. If a collaborator adds photos without signal, their additions queue locally and sync automatically when they're back online. The TripBook merges everyone's contributions seamlessly, even if you were all offline at different times.
Can I remove someone from a shared TripBook?
Yes. As the TripBook owner, you have full admin control. You can remove collaborators, change their permissions from editor to viewer, or revoke share links at any time. The content they added remains unless you delete it.
