Travel journal app

A travel journal for the moments that matter

The photo on your phone shows what a place looked like. Your travel journal remembers how it felt. YouVisited keeps your stories, photos and favourite places together — on a timeline, linked to your trips and your travel map.

Why keep a travel journal?

Details fade faster than you'd expect. The name of the tiny restaurant in Porto, the shortcut through the old town, the stranger who gave you directions — a few lines written on the day are worth more than a thousand unlabelled photos. A journal also turns a camera roll into a story you can revisit, and share with the people who were there.

What you can save in each entry

  • A title, the date and as much or as little writing as you like.
  • Photos — several per entry, optimised automatically so they load quickly on any device.
  • The country and city, so the memory sits in the right place on your travel map.
  • A favourite place: the café, beach or viewpoint you'll want to find again.
  • A link to the trip it belongs to, so every memory from the holiday is in one place.

Browse your memories your way

Timeline

Entries are grouped by month and year, so you can scroll back through your travels in the order they happened.

Gallery

Switch to a photo grid for a quick visual tour of everywhere you've been, and open any photo full-screen.

Favourites

Star your best moments and filter to see only those — perfect when someone asks for your top recommendation in Lisbon.

Private by default, shareable when you want

Every entry has its own visibility: only you, friends and trip members, or public. Public entries can appear on your travel profile; private ones never leave your account. When you upload a photo, YouVisited removes its hidden location data, so sharing a picture never shares where you live.

A shared journal for group trips

On a shared trip, everyone with editing access can add their own memories to the same trip. You get one shared travel journal with everybody's photos and stories, instead of the highlights scattered across five different phones. Each person keeps their own private entries private.

Start with your map — tick off the countries you've visited — then create a free account and add your first memory.

Frequently asked questions

Who can see my travel journal?

You decide for every entry: only you, your friends and trip members, or anyone who can see your profile. Private entries are never shown to anyone else.

Are my photos public?

No. Photos are never served from a public link. Each request is checked against the entry's privacy setting, so a private photo can only be opened by you.

Is location data removed from my photos?

Yes. When you upload a photo, YouVisited strips its embedded metadata, including GPS coordinates, and saves an optimised copy.

Can I get my journal back out?

Yes. From Settings you can export all your data, including your journal entries, as a JSON file at any time.
