旅忆

旅忆是一款本地优先、无需账号的旅行手记:行前排计划,旅中随手记,旅后把精选照片、实况照片、地点、同行人和花费装订成一本可以长期回看的旅册。 【一趟旅行,一卷旅册】 每趟旅行是一卷:出发前排计划;路上随手记一笔;回来后把照片挑进来,标记完成,这一卷就装订好了。 【出发前,把计划排好】 每天的安排逐段排:几点的车、住哪、去哪玩,车次和座位都记得下;行前清单一条条勾掉。计划体检会替你把计划读一遍,提醒「这一天安排需要注意的点」。出发后,计划和实际走过的路在同一条时间线上,不用来回誊抄。 【按天回看的时间线】 照片、火车票、酒店、门票、账单和当时写下的一句话,按发生地的当地日期排成每日时间线。跨时区也不会错日:在巴黎拍的照片,永远属于巴黎的那一天。 【足迹地图,能回放】 去过的城市按年份落在地图上,照片和标注过的地点变成图上的针脚,按发生时间连成路线。按下回放,足迹跟着时间一步步重走一遍。可以看全年,也可以只看某趟旅行、某一天。 【旅行账本,分摊和汇总都清楚】 花费按交通、住宿、餐饮、门票、购物分类。境外消费可以记外币,按当天参考汇率折成人民币,标记待确认,核对后再落账。和同行人的账逐人算清:谁垫了钱,谁该收,谁该付;消费存根卡一屏汇总合计、分类占比和结算建议。 【凭证记一条,处处都有】 火车、航班、酒店、门票手动记一条,金额自动进账单,时间自动进当天的时间线,不用记两遍。 【实况照片,原样保留】 照片默认只引用系统相册,不复制第二份;重要的照片可以独立保存完整原图。实况照片保留动态,不会被压成静态图。 【冲印成分享图,六种版式】 把一卷旅册冲印成图片,发给同行的人:日报版每天一段;长图一张到底;路书带蛇形轨迹和红笔批注;多图是 3:4 卡片,逐页出卷;票根和账单是存根样式,敏感信息可以打码。照片、足迹地图、行程时间线、账单合计、同伴称呼,随卷内容都能自己勾选。全程在本机生成,不上传。 【关于隐私,直说】 旅忆没有账号,没有广告,也没有开发者自建的云端。你的旅行、照片和账单只保存在这台手机上。联网有三件事:搜地点时把关键词交给 Apple 的地图服务;记外币账时向公开汇率服务查询币种和日期,不发送金额和任何旅行内容;同意隐私政策后,崩溃与卡顿诊断交给阿里云 ARMS 用户体验监控,不含旅册内容。没有云同步,换机靠手动导出备份。旅行数据是你的,一直是。

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 旅忆 at none against Trace World's 1. 旅忆 also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). Trace World's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
