About

ryokam

Read full description

Ryokam is a travel camera that organizes your photos and videos by trip as you shoot. Instead of coming home with memories scattered across your camera roll, every journey becomes its own clean, shareable gallery. Ryokam gives every trip its own camera roll. Create a trip, open the camera, and every photo or video you capture is automatically saved to that journey, making it easy to relive, organize, and share your travel memories without sorting through your main photo library later. For the current release, no account is required. Captured media is kept in ryokam and added to your iPhone photo library, so the first version stays focused on fast trip capture and simple organization.
