Traulo

Your trips deserve more than a buried camera roll. Traulo turns the photos and videos already on your iPhone into cinematic 30-to-60-second travel vlogs — beat-synced to music, smartly cropped, speed-ramped. Pick a date range, pick a mood, and the app does the rest. — HOW IT WORKS — 1. Traulo reads your camera roll and detects trips automatically. No folders to make, no tags to add. 2. On-device Vision ML scores every shot, drops near-duplicates, and surfaces the strongest moments. 3. Cuts snap to the beat. Hero moments slow down, transit shots speed up, and the titles are written for the trip you took. — A FEED OF REAL TRIPS — Home is a feed of the people you follow and the places you've been — vlogs and guides, with hearts, comments and saves right on the card. Follow someone without leaving the feed, and get a push when they post. — EXPLORE THE WORLD — Spin a 3D globe: a picture pin for every place people have vlogged from. Tap one to fly there and trace the route. Browse by what kind of trip and how long you've got — a day, a weekend, a week — or by country and place. Editor's Choice picks a fresh set of guides every week. — A FULL EDITOR — The first cut is a starting point, not a verdict. Reorder or swap clips, change the speed of any moment, reframe a photo, switch the music, and write the on-video text. Leave mid-edit and it saves a draft you can resume from Home. — PLAN THE TRIP, NOT JUST THE RECAP — Traulo builds a day-by-day trip plan from where you actually shot — stops, routes, driving and walking times, no AI required. Import a GPX track and it splits multi-day hikes and ski days into legs. Publish a plan as a guide, translate it for your readers, and share it as a 3D flyover video. Save someone else's guide and make it yours. — BUILT FOR DRONE FOOTAGE — If you fly DJI, Traulo already knows. Drone clips are detected from EXIF, reframed from 16:9 to 9:16 without losing the subject, and speed-ramped to match the action. The result looks edited, not auto-filled. — YOUR TRAVEL PROFILE — Every vlog becomes a pin on your world map — countries, places, and the share of the world you've seen. Your year fills a Calendar with thumbnails on the days you travelled, and "On This Day" brings old trips back. Tag the people who were there and everyone's vlog becomes another point of view on the same days. — WITH A SUBSCRIPTION — Trip Diary renders one short vlog per day of a long trip plus a highlight reel — dated and swipeable like a Reel carousel. Plus AI-written titles and descriptions, private cloud backup, and an expanded licensed music library. — SHARING IS FREE. PRIVACY IS PREMIUM. — Every account gets 1 GB of cloud storage for vlogs shared publicly on a public profile. Vlogs you keep to yourself live on your iPhone, free and unlimited — private cloud backup is a paid feature. Your source photos and videos never leave your device; only a vlog you publish is uploaded. The optional AI step sends only metadata — no images or video — to our backend, which proxies to Anthropic. We don't sell your data, and you can delete anything, any time. — PLANS — Free ($0): unlimited vlogs, 4K export when your footage is 4K, bundled royalty-free music, trip plans, tagging friends on public vlogs, and the 1 GB of public storage above. Traveler ($4.99/mo): 5 AI-edited vlogs per month, 5 GB of private cloud backup, Trip Diary, private angles on private trips, and the expanded music library. Daily Vlogger ($11.99/mo): 20 AI-edited vlogs per month and 50 GB of private cloud backup, so your vlogs survive a lost phone. One-time packs: subscribers can buy 10, 20 or 100 extra AI vlogs. They don't auto-renew and stay in your balance. — REQUIREMENTS — iPhone running iOS 16 or later. Photos permission for camera roll access; location and notifications optional. Available in 39 languages. Made by travelers, in Maribor. Terms of Use: https://www.traulo.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.traulo.com/privacy
