Ryokoya: Travel Journal

You spend the day walking a city you have never been to. It is wonderful. Then you are back at the hotel with your shoes off, someone asks where you went, and what you have is: a street beginning with V, somewhere near the water, that place with the blue door. Ryokōya (旅行屋, "the travel shop") is a travel journal that remembers for you. Start a trip when you head out, then put your phone in your pocket. It notices the café you sat in, the shop you wandered into, and the neighborhood you crossed without meaning to — then hands you back the day as a story worth keeping. HOW IT WORKS • One tap to start a trip, or ask Siri. • Screen off, phone away. Visits, landmarks, routes and neighborhoods are recorded in the background. • At the end you get a written story, a map of where you actually went, and stamps for the neighborhoods you earned. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Open it and Ryokōya opens like a passport: your trips beside the one you're reading, the live map beside today's stops, the Stamp Book across two pages, a trip book as facing pages. Fold it halfway and the map stands up while the story lies flat. JOURNEYS, RECEIPTS AND BINGO Join the trips that belong together into one journey, with one map and a chapter per city. Every trip prints a receipt: steps, konbini runs, the earthquake you slept through. Every city has a Bingo card: nine things to do on foot. WHAT YOU END UP WITH • The route, not the highlights reel: every walk, ferry, subway and bullet train, drawn as it happened. • A story written from what actually happened. If Ryokōya didn't see it, it doesn't claim it. • Stamps and city crowns that only mint when you genuinely arrived. • A designed book of every trip, free to read. • Share cards that keep your hotel and your doorstep to yourself, set on a photo of yours if you like. • Widgets for your trip, your Stamp Book and a word of the day. CITY PACKS, CURATED BY HAND Fifty-one cities, 333 packs, 3,446 places, each chosen for a reason, written up in a sentence worth reading, and checked: coordinates, opening doors, and whether it still exists at all. Every city keeps a RyokōMate, a small local companion with folklore of their own, who turns up in your stories and signs your books. Gigi guards Paris. Pon works Tokyo. Coo runs New York, badly. Every city ships with a free pack. PRIVACY, WHICH IS RATHER THE POINT Your movements are the most personal data you have, and Ryokōya has no reason to know where you were. • No trackers, no analytics, no ad networks — no third-party SDKs at all. • Your trips live on your device, and with Pro in your own iCloud. There is no Ryokōya server holding your history. • Location is recorded while a trip you started is running. When no trip is active, Ryokōya is not following you. • "Always Collecting" ships switched off: it lets a City Pack place you own count between trips, with no route recorded. • Make any trip private: it opens only with Face ID. RYOKŌYA PRO Free covers tracking, stories, stamps, trip books, and one curated pack in every city. Pro adds: • Ask your journal: Apple Intelligence answers from your own trips, on your iPhone • iCloud backup that runs by itself, every photo and video if you choose • Unlimited trip plans — free keeps three on the go • Email story summaries and automatic photo matching • Trip Radar: a nudge when a saved place is near • Walk View: first-person, street-level navigation • GPX route export, and your trip book as a PDF Pro is $2.99 a month or $24.99 a year, both auto-renewing, or $69.99 once for a lifetime unlock.
