About

Jaunts

Read full description

Your camera roll remembers the photos. It forgets the trip. Jaunts is a photo diary for the places you've been. Pull the handful of photos that actually mattered into a Highlight, add your notes, and watch it back as a story. RELIVE IT, DON'T SCROLL IT Your trip plays back full-screen, one moment at a time. Tap to move, or let it advance on its own. Your notes surface with the photo they belong to, not buried in a separate entry. SNAP IT, SAY IT, DONE Shoot straight into a Highlight and the note opens the moment you've taken the shot — while you still remember why. The date and the place fill themselves in from the photo. No entry to create, no page to set up, nothing to keep up with. SEE WHERE YOU'VE BEEN Every Highlight lands on a world map. Watch the countries add up, filter by year, and tap a place to drop straight back into that trip. MAKE IT A BOOK Turn any Highlight into a Jaunts Book — a PDF photo book of your trip, laid out and ready to keep, print, or send. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No ads. No analytics of any kind. Your trips live on your iPhone, and in your own iCloud if you turn on sync — we can't see them either way. JAUNTS PREMIUM A one-time purchase, never a subscription. Adds iCloud sync across your devices and Jaunts Book export. Everything else is free.
