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 itineraries)

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 checklist 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

Stippl Alternative Questions

Quick answers to the questions people ask before switching.

Is TripMemo a good Stippl alternative?
Yes—if your goal is to preserve memories, not plan logistics. TripMemo turns each trip into a TripBook with pages (photos + notes), map pins, offline mode, and real-time collaboration. It's built for remembering trips, not organizing itineraries or budgets.
Does TripMemo have AI itinerary planning like Stippl?
No. TripMemo isn't a planning tool. It has no itineraries, budgets, or AI suggestions. TripMemo is designed for memory preservation: you capture moments as they happen and turn them into a story you'll revisit for years.
Can I still see my trip 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, not navigate your next destination.
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.
Should I use Stippl for planning and TripMemo for memories?
Absolutely. Stippl excels at pre-trip planning with itineraries, budgets, and research tools. TripMemo excels at capturing and preserving the actual trip. Many travelers use both: Stippl before, TripMemo during and after.
