People who switched from Wanderlog

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

Memories, not spreadsheets
Wanderlog was perfect for planning, but after the trip I had spreadsheets not memories. Now I plan with whatever works and document with TripMemo.

Trips you actually revisit
We used Wanderlog to plan our honeymoon itinerary. But for the actual trip photos and memories? TripMemo. The TripBook from that trip is something we open regularly.

Switched from Wanderlog
From planning to remembering
I realized I had 20 trips planned in Wanderlog but couldn't tell you what I actually did on most of them. TripMemo changed how I think about travel documentation.

What you get with TripMemo

The Memory Stack
Wanderlog doesn't have

After the planning is done, TripMemo helps you capture and preserve what actually happened.

TripBooks (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.

Offline mode (free)

Write notes, add photos, reorder pages—offline. TripMemo queues everything locally and syncs automatically. Wanderlog requires Premium for offline.

FAQ

Wanderlog Alternative Questions

Quick answers about using TripMemo for memories vs Wanderlog for planning.

Is TripMemo a good Wanderlog alternative?
It depends on what you need. Wanderlog is a trip planner with itinerary features. TripMemo is a travel memory app—designed to preserve and relive trips, not plan them. If you want to capture memories, TripMemo is the better choice.
How is TripMemo different from Wanderlog?
Wanderlog focuses on planning: itineraries, reservations, checklists, and expense tracking. TripMemo focuses on memories: each trip becomes a TripBook with pages, photos, notes, and Polaroid layouts. They serve different purposes.
Does TripMemo have itinerary planning like Wanderlog?
No. TripMemo isn't a planning app. It's designed for memory preservation—capturing moments after they happen, not organizing logistics before.
Does TripMemo work offline?
Yes. Full offline support is a core feature. Add photos, write notes, and edit TripBooks without internet. Everything queues locally and syncs automatically when you're back online.
Can my friends add their photos to the same trip?
Yes. Real-time collaboration is a major TripMemo feature. Multiple people can add photos and notes to the same TripBook, and changes appear instantly across all devices.
Does Wanderlog have real-time collaboration?
Yes, for planning. Wanderlog lets multiple people edit the same itinerary. TripMemo's collaboration is for memories—everyone adds photos and notes to the same TripBook during and after the trip.
Can I import bookings into TripMemo like Wanderlog?
No. TripMemo doesn't handle reservations or booking imports. It's purely for memory preservation—photos, notes, and the story of your trip.
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 nostalgic and intentional. Wanderlog doesn't have this.
Can I see travel stats in TripMemo?
Yes. TripMemo shows countries visited, places explored, and your travel calendar. It also has gamification (levels, missions) that Wanderlog doesn't offer.
Should I use both Wanderlog and TripMemo?
Many travelers do! Use Wanderlog to plan the trip (itineraries, bookings, logistics) and TripMemo to preserve the memories (photos, notes, TripBooks). They complement each other well.
Will I lose my data if I switch?
No. Your Wanderlog account remains active. Since TripMemo serves a different purpose (memories, not planning), you can use both side by side. Export trip photos you want to keep and create TripBooks from them in TripMemo.
What if I still need itinerary planning?
TripMemo isn't a planning tool, so you'd still use Wanderlog (or similar apps) for itineraries and bookings. Once the trip happens, use TripMemo to preserve what actually occurred. Different tools for different phases.
Can I use TripMemo offline in remote areas?
Yes. Full offline support is a core feature—add photos, write notes, and edit TripBooks without internet. Everything queues locally and syncs automatically when you're back online. No Premium required.
