From the first daydream to the last memory — every moment of the journey. Travel Mapmory. Color your memory. Plan it, book it, then write it down — and watch a country take on colour. Travel Mapmory holds both ends of a trip: the itinerary and bookings before you go, the journal and the map that fills in after. YOUR WORLD MAP A country takes on colour once you have journaled it — arriving home isn't quite the end of a trip. The map tells apart the cities you have written about, the ones you are planning, and the ones you would like to reach someday. Trips from before you found this app count too: the year alone is enough. Reach a place off your someday list and it gets marked as done. Your country and city counts add up as you go. DAY-BY-DAY PLANNING Places, restaurants, stays and flights for each date on one screen. Search a place to add it, drag to reorder, and see the day's route on a map. Multi-city trips fit as they are: dates per city, and transfers between them by flight, train, bus or car. Type a flight number and the times, terminal and aircraft fill themselves in, along with notes on getting to and around that airport. A countdown from D-30 to D-1. While you are travelling, mornings tell you where today goes and evenings ask, quietly, whether you feel like writing. BOOKING AND PREP: THE READY! TAB Flights, trains, car hire, airport transfers, hotels, tours and tickets — everything a trip needs booking for, searched from one place. Your dates and cities are already known, so there is no search form to fill in again; pick what you like and it hands you straight to the booking page. A packing checklist by category, passport through eSIM, so "did I book that already" stops living in your head. And a free-form notepad on every trip, for whatever you would otherwise forget. KEEPS Save a place, restaurant or hotel you liked before any trip exists to put it in. Paste a shared Google Maps link and it lands in your keeps. When a trip does happen, move a keep straight into the itinerary — no hunting for it twice. PHOTO JOURNALS Choose the photos; the app builds the collage. Short clips can stay too, looping. On days when typing is too much, talk instead and your voice memo becomes sentences. An AI epigraph sums up the day, and you can rewrite it if it misses. Share a story card or export plain text. When the trip ends, the whole thing reads like a magazine. EXPENSES Mixed currencies stay in their own currency — converted figures are shown for reference only. Automatic settlement works out who sends what to whom. A quick report as a single image, or a detailed one as a PDF. TOGETHER Invite companions with a link and build the plan and the budget together. A shared journal collects everyone's photos and notes, with comments. YOURS Everything works without an account, with data kept on your device. Sign in with Apple, Google, Kakao or Naver for cloud backup and sync. AI features can be switched off in Settings at any time. No ads, no tracking. Korean, English and Japanese. Open the map and paint your first country.
