Plan trips together. Add places to a shared map, invite friends to edit or view, and vote on your favorites together. Everyone sees updates the moment they happen, no sending links back and forth, no one working from an outdated list. Import places from travel videos, social posts, and articles by pasting a link. The app reads through the content, finds every place mentioned, and drops them onto your map as pins automatically. A single TikTok or Instagram Reel about the best food spots in Seoul can populate an entire day's itinerary in seconds. PLAN WITH FRIENDS Every map is a shared workspace. Invite friends, family, or fellow travelers to edit together in real time. Vote on favorite spots, leave notes on individual places, and see each other's additions as they happen. IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE Paste a link to a travel video, social post, or article and the app finds every place mentioned and drops it onto your map. Search and add places manually too, each one comes with a photo, description, and local name automatically. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Group places into days, categories, or neighborhoods. Assign colors to find things at a glance, add personal notes to individual spots, and collapse groups you're not focused on yet. Each place shows its name, local script, and a short description so nothing gets lost in translation. SHARE WITH ANYONE Every map can get a link anyone can open without an account. Share a short code in a caption or message for even easier access. Viewers can explore the full map, editors can jump in and start contributing. WORKS WHERE YOU ARE Smooth on phone, tablet, and desktop. Places sync the moment they are added across all devices. PRO FEATURES Upgrade to export your maps as CSV, PDF, or KML for use in other mapping tools. Add up to four of your own photos per place.

Whether you are planning a weekend away, building a local guide, or saving every place from your favorite travel content: this is the map for it. — Not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, or any other platform.

Every stop. Every photo. Every story. Yours. MyTripLog turns a journey into a living story. You capture waypoints as you go — a place, the moment you were there, a note, a photo — and the app builds them into a map and a story you can actually read back years later. Capture in seconds. A waypoint takes a tap or two. Your location and the time are filled in for you. Notes and photos are optional and can always be added later — the log is the point, the photos are a bonus. IT READS LIKE A STORY, NOT A FOLDER Open a trip and it reads back to you: day by day, place by place, your notes running alongside your photos on the map you actually walked. Not a grid of thumbnails and a pin cloud — an account of the journey, in the order you lived it, that still makes sense to someone who wasn't there. Including you, in ten years. YOU WRITE IT AS YOU GO, IN SECONDS A waypoint is one place, one moment. Two taps while you're standing there — the location and time fill themselves in — and a sentence about why it mattered. That sentence is the part a photo can never carry, and the reason the trip still means something later. Two-tap capture; snap a photo and let it place the waypoint for you Works offline, syncs when you're back in signal Notes, ratings, and categories on any waypoint Every trip on an interactive map, day by day Share a trip with a link — no account needed to read it YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS Full-resolution photos go straight into your own Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive — untouched, no downscaling, no re-encoding. MyTripLog organises them into clean folders by trip, by day, by waypoint, so you can browse them anywhere, even without this app. We never hold your originals, and deleting a trip here doesn't delete them there. TURN THE STORY INTO SOMETHING YOU KEEP At mytriplog.app, in your browser on a bigger screen, the same trip becomes a printable journal, a route-map poster, or a slideshow — and a full archive you can save into your own cloud: readable HTML, a GPX route, and your photos. Same account, same trips. Capture the story on your phone. Make something of it on the web. mytriplog.app
