About Jorial: Private Travel Journal
Jorial is a travel journal for the moments you want to keep, not just the places you visited. It works simply. Add an entry with a photo and Jorial does the paperwork for you: the location and that day's temperature fill in automatically when enabled. No forms, no filing, no admin. You live the trip; the diary keeps itself. NEW: JOURNEYS, TOGETHER - Write together, live. Invite the people you travel with into an entry and write it side by side, with every edit appearing as it happens. - Group entries into a named Journey and see the whole thing as one story: the route, the places you stayed, the nights, the temperatures. - Turn a Journey into a recap video, rendered on your own device and ready to share. - See your travel in numbers: distance covered, countries reached, and how each year compares with the last. - Log what you spend. Expenses on an entry roll up into the Journey overview. - Print any entry like a magazine page, or save it as a PDF. WRITE LIKE IT MATTERS - Capture stories with writing, photos, dates, tags, and location details in a clean journal view made for stories, not status updates. - Add the people you were with, a caption on a photo, and a star rating for the day. - Jorial Pro raises photos from 2 to 30 per entry and adds video. THE TEMPERATURE DETAIL - Every entry keeps that day's temperature, both range and average. Seeing 38°F next to a photo puts you right back in that morning. - You can also add temperatures manually, even to old or offline memories. THREE WAYS BACK - A quiet map: every entry is pinned by date, using photo location data when available, or manually pin the streets you found by accident. - Journeys draw themselves with Pro: entries group into named, color-coded routes on your map. - Whether it is a weekend away or a summer road trip, the whole route is one page you can scroll back through. - Browse by date in the calendar, or scroll the journal feed and search tags, places, and repeating themes. TOGETHER, PRIVATELY - Keep your archive entirely private, or share specific Journeys with a partner or close friends. - Partner Feed: one diary for two. Link with your partner and you both add to the same archive. - Shared Stories: invite friends to write in the same Journey together. - Shared pins: send a single place, with photo and note, straight to a friend's map. - Add friends by email or QR code. There is no public network to join. THE QUIET GAME - Collect a stamp for every country you journal in, plus each of Sweden's 21 counties. - 55 achievements gathered into 22 badges, tiered from Bronze to Diamond, with cinematic unlocks. - No streaks, no sound, no reminders nagging you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No ads, no trackers, no analytics SDKs. Your data runs the app, nothing else. - Cloud sync across your devices, with an offline-friendly cache and background photo uploads. - Take your journal with you: export the whole archive with Pro as readable text, a page you can browse offline, and every original photo and video. - Delete your account, and its data, with one tap whenever you choose. FREE AND PRO - Free forever, not a trial: unlimited entries, 2 photos per entry, the full journal and calendar, and your last 12 months on the map. - Jorial Pro adds 30 photos or videos per entry, your full map history, Journeys, recap videos, travel statistics, full export, and creating Shared Stories and the Partner Feed. - If you ever cancel Pro, everything you made stays viewable. Nothing is held hostage. ALSO - Designed for iPhone and iPad, in light and dark themes. - Available in 47 languages. - Sign in with Apple, Google, or Microsoft. No passwords to manage. Jorial was built by a solo developer in Sweden, for his wife, who wanted every place they had been kept in one place. It is a diary first: for the two of you, or just for you.
