Your trip plans and memories, in one cute little booklet Shiori is a travel booklet maker that tucks all the excitement of your trip into one adorable little book. In Japan, a "shiori" is the handmade trip booklet friends pass around before a journey. Now you can make your own. Pop on a sticker. Smooth down a strip of washi tape. Decorate it just like your journal, and your itinerary and packing list become a one-of-a-kind booklet. From planning before you go to reminiscing once you're home, every page you turn makes your heart skip a beat. ◆ Perfect for • Girls' trips, spring break, graduation trips, and school trips with friends • Family vacations, road trips, and weekend getaways • Concert trips and fan meetups you want to plan down to the minute • Keeping your schedule, packing checklist, and budget all in one app • Turning your photos into a travel journal or scrapbook after the trip • Making a printable trip booklet to hand out, just like the paper ones ◆ What you can do [Build your booklet — plans and packing, just a tap away] Open the Trip kit and add destinations, a day-by-day schedule, a packing list, a budget, and must-see spots with a single tap. Ready-made templates for covers, schedules, packing, budgets, spots, and diary pages turn your plans into a full itinerary in no time. [Decorate it — just like your favorite journal] 880+ stickers in styles like pastel, retro, watercolor, and pop. Washi tape in the shape, color, and pattern of your choice. Photo frames, 9 decorative fonts, a drawing pen, cute cover themes, and your own photos and images. Every page becomes a little world that's all yours. [Memory album — the fun continues after the trip] Every booklet comes with its own photo album. Tap any photo to see it full screen, and flip through the pages just like a paper album. Add a few words to your favorite shots, and it becomes your very own travel diary. [Share and plan together — everyone gets a say] Send a View-only link and friends can open your booklet right in the app, with your edits showing up live. With a Co-edit link (Premium), up to 30 people can edit the same booklet at the same time, so every "Let's go here!" lands right on the page. Planning a group trip just got so much easier. [Export and share — print it for a real paper booklet] Export your finished booklet as images or a PDF. Print copies to hand out as a paper trip booklet, or share it on social media and messaging apps. ◆ Plans With the Basic plan, you can make booklets, decorate them with stickers and washi tape, share View-only links, and export images and PDFs (up to 15 pages per booklet or album, 10 photos per booklet, and 30 photos per album). Premium unlocks even more ways to enjoy your trip: co-editing with up to 30 people, every sticker style and decoration, stickers made from your own photos, exports without the credit mark, higher-quality photos, up to 50 pages per booklet or album, 30 photos per booklet, and 100 photos per album. When a Premium member creates the booklet, photos added by friends who join are saved in high quality, too. ◆ About us / Contact Developed and operated by CataLabs Contact: info@cata-labs.jp Terms of Use: https://shioribiyori.cata-labs.jp/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://shioribiyori.cata-labs.jp/privacy.html
