People who switched from Skratch
Hear from travelers who made the switch and why they stayed.
“Skratch made scratching off countries satisfying. But I wanted more than a checklist. TripMemo lets me actually remember what happened in each place.”

Collector • Dublin, IE
“Skratch's social features felt performative. TripMemo is private by default. My travels aren't about showing off—they're about remembering.”
Tom W.
Adventurer
“We both had Skratch accounts but couldn't combine our travel histories. TripMemo lets us build shared TripBooks for trips we take together.”
