Every drive has a story. Keep yours with JourneyDeck. JourneyDeck is a private driving journal for the roads you travel, the music you hear and the memories you want to keep. Record a journey on your iPhone, then revisit its route, distance, time and soundtrack on iPhone and iPad. REMEMBER EVERY ROAD Start and finish journeys from your iPhone, from the Start a Journey widget, from Apple Watch, or by asking Siri. Drop a marker with a note and photos at any point along the way. Recording is local first, so your route is saved without a server connection. Tesla owners can connect Tessie to record automatically (JourneyDeck Plus). RELIVE THE JOURNEY Watch your route unfold in a smooth replay with the songs that played along the way. Browse everything in a layout designed for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo. ASK JOURNEYDECK Ask "What was my top artist this month?" or "How far did I drive last week?" Answers come from your archive on your device, using Apple Intelligence when your device supports it. Ask from the app or with Siri. Requires JourneyDeck Plus. HEAR YOUR ROADTRIP SOUNDTRACK Connect Apple Music to build a soundtrack from your authorized listening history. Some song locations may be estimated. You can also tap Identify Song to recognize a track with ShazamKit; microphone access is used only for that request and audio is never saved. TURN DRIVES INTO MEMORIES Bring related journeys together in a Memory with your own photos and notes. Earn collectible medallions as you reach milestones in journeys, music and Memories. DISCOVER YOUR ROAD STORY Atlas shows your miles, routes, places, driving rhythms and soundtracks, calculated on your device. Track the U.S. states you have driven. Atlas requires JourneyDeck Plus. CHOOSE YOUR OWN LOOK Six themes with matching app icons: Grand Touring and Warm Ivory are free; Cinematic Dark, Rosewater, Autumn Drive and Aurora Glass come with JourneyDeck Plus. YOUR ARCHIVE, KEPT PRIVATE Your archive is stored on your device first. Optional private iCloud sync keeps your library available across your iPhone and iPad using your Apple Account. Sign-in, music permissions and iCloud sync are optional. Set private Home, Work and School locations and create share cards with sensitive-place protection. JOURNEYDECK PLUS JourneyDeck is free for recording and shows today's journeys, and a new install opens a sample library so you can explore every screen first. JourneyDeck Plus is an auto-renewable annual membership that unlocks your complete history, Atlas, Ask JourneyDeck, premium themes and icons, and optional Tessie and Claude connections. Eligible new subscribers get a 7-day free trial. After the trial, the annual price shown in the app is charged to your Apple Account unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Older journeys are never deleted when a membership ends. Restore Purchases is on the membership screen. iPad shows and syncs your library but does not record; recording needs an iPhone. Apple Watch controls recording on your paired iPhone and does not record routes independently. JourneyDeck is not a navigation app. Set up recording before driving and do not interact with the app while operating a vehicle.
