Every trip is worth remembering. TripTally turns your camping weekends, 4WD tracks and long road trips into a log you'll actually want to look back on — the nights under canvas, the kilometres covered, the spots you'd drive back to in a heartbeat. LOG THE TRIP, STOP BY STOP Start a trip, then add each stop as you go. Drag stops to reorder them, drop in your photos, and tag the weather so you remember whether it was a stinking-hot arvo or a frosty morning by the fire. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS TripTally tracks nights away, distance travelled and what each trip cost you, all rolled into a clean stats dashboard. Watch your totals build across every trip and quietly rack up the bragging rights. BUILT FOR HOW YOU TRAVEL Camping, caravan, 4WD or road trip — pick the travel mode that matches the journey. SHARE THE GOOD BITS Turn any trip into a share card in three styles — Cinematic, Recap or Journal — sized for Stories. Or fire off a one-tap text summary straight into WhatsApp or Messages for the group chat. MAKE IT YOURS Dark and light themes with a choice of accent colours. EXPORT ANYTIME Your trips belong to you. Export to GPX for your mapping tools, or JSON to keep a full backup. NO ACCOUNT, NO CLOUD No sign-up, no login, no catch. Everything stays on your phone — your data never leaves your device.
