## What is Somada?

Somada is your travel journal on a map, on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Write the trip as you live it: pages with photos, pins on the places that mattered, and the routes you actually took.

A JOURNAL THAT LIVES ON THE MAP
Most diaries are a list of days. Somada is a map of your travels. Open the world, drop a page where you stood, and watch the journey take shape.

COLLECT THE WORLD
The wonders of the world, global icons and sacred sites, and close-to-home castles, museums, and waterfalls. Write a page near one, and it's yours. The ones you collect can be explored in 3D, and your map fills up with the places you've visited.

PAGES, PHOTOS AND PINS
Write with a rich-text editor. Add photos from the camera or your library, sorted by date. Each page sits on the map as a pin with an emoji or symbol, so a memory has a place, not just a date.

ROUTES YOU REALLY TOOK
Trace the path stop by stop and pick the vehicle for each leg: car, train, plane, boat, bike, on foot, and more than 20 in all. Add way-back legs, undo a stretch, and keep the line that matches the real trip.

SEARCH PLACES AND YOUR MEMORIES
Find cities, landmarks and addresses. Your own places come first, with your recent searches and places to discover nearby.

ON IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC
On iPad and Mac, the map, the page and the route sit side by side. Sign in with Apple or Google and the same journal follows you from one device to another.

WORKS OFFLINE
Write on the plane or in the mountains. Somada stores pages and routes on your device and syncs them when the network returns.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Your journal is yours: pages, routes, and photos are private. No ads.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.0.3 — 2026-11-12

Share your trips with a link. From a route's options, create a public link: anyone who opens it sees the route and your pages with their photos in the browser, without installing the app, and new pages show up as you write them. You can stop sharing at any time.

New Trips tab: your trips with the shape of their route, your pages sorted by month and all your photos in one place.

New vehicle: hitchhiking. And stops without a page are drawn as a small dot in the route's color, so the map is easier to read.

Plus an updated privacy policy and small fixes.

### 3.0.2 — 2026-11-05

The map runs smoother with a route selected, even on long trips with many stops. Plus minor fixes.

### 3.0 — 2026-11-02

Somada 3.0 comes to iPad and Mac, with the map, page and route side by side. Collect the world: wonders, castles, museums and waterfalls are yours by writing a page nearby, and the ones you collect can be explored in 3D. A new search: your places first, recent searches and places to discover. Each leg of a route with its own vehicle, more than 20 to choose from, plus way-back legs. Photos sort by date and the app opens where you left off. Also, more reliable offline mode and many fixes.

### 2.12 — 2026-10-07

UI/UX updates.

### 2.11 — 2026-09-22
