Why are your best travel memories buried in camera rolls and half-written posts? Trailory can turn your adventures into beautiful, organized travel journals -mapped to the places you visited, complete with photos, videos, notes, and memories you’ll actually want to revisit and share! SHARE AND COLLABORATE ◾ Seamlessly collaborate with other travelers in your group, letting them add their photos, videos and notes to the same trip. ◾ The app intuitively arranges days and activities in a chronological order, making it easy for anyone who views your trip to understand how your trip progressed and all the awesome locations you visited! ◾ You can also share your trip journal with others without giving them collaborator access, so that they can still view your trip but not edit it. Or keep it completely private! EASILY REVISIT MEMORIES ◾ Whenever you reflect on your memories and can’t remember the name of that cafe you visited where you had eaten some amazing chocolate cake, you could simply search for ‘cake’ in your trip and provided you had added a note about the cake, that cafe with photos will pop up in your trip timeline! MORE THAN A JOURNAL ◾ Unlike a standard digital journal, you can add all your trip photos to your trip if you want! Your photos will be visible at a glance for each activity and that way, it’s no longer a giant album of 5000 photos to scroll through! ◾ Each location you visit becomes a pin on an interactive map, painting a vivid picture of your journey. ◾ Your photos, videos, and notes are securely backed up in the cloud at all times. If you have any questions or feedback, do email us at hello@trailoryapp.com and we will be happy to hear your thoughts out or get on a call!
