People who switched from TripBFF

Hear from travelers who made the switch and why they stayed.

Actually keeping the memories
TripBFF was great for meeting people, but I had no way to document the trips we took together. Now I use TripMemo for the memories and still meet people however I want.

Switched from TripBFF
Purpose-built for memories
I was using TripBFF to find travel buddies, but the journaling was an afterthought. TripMemo is specifically built for preserving trips. Different tools for different jobs.

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 timeline)

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 feed you'll never scroll again.

Offline mode that keeps up

Write notes, add photos, reorder pages—offline. TripMemo queues everything locally and syncs automatically when you're back online.
