One place for the whole trip. Record it from the first idea to the last night, let Boswell — the assistant — file the paperwork and help write the days, then bind it into a journal you can hold.
Free · phone and computer · works without signal
Stops and nights, the way between them, each day hour by hour, the places you mean to see — then the diary, the photographs and the money as it happens.
The whole journey ↓
Bookings and receipts go where they belong. In the morning it says what is next; in the evening it asks about the day and drafts it in your words.
What Boswell does ↓Choose how it leans and a style; the pages are laid out from your diary and the photographs you marked. Move anything, then keep a PDF.
How the journal is made ↓One fictional trip — Lisbon, Madrid, Marrakesh, Essaouira, 15 days — kept in one place all the way through. Most tools take one phase; this one carries all three.
Stops and nights, the way between them, every day hour by hour.
Days, the map and Boswell are one tap apart; the diary, photographs and costs go on the day they happened.
The app opens on everywhere you have been. The day you leave, the same first screen turns into the day in front of you — and turns back when you are home.
Everything you add is saved on the phone first and goes up on its own when there is signal; Sync says plainly what is on the server and what is still waiting. Download a trip before you leave and its map comes too: with no signal, the Map draws from the copy kept on the phone — every stop, and the streets around it.
Words and photographs kept against the day and the place — for you alone, on a shared trip too.
Every cost in the currency it was paid in, converted at that day’s rate.
A list of your own and one the whole trip shares — tick it, add to it, give an item to somebody.
Every file kept with the plan it belongs to, and found again by searching.
Every night’s bed and every leg between, laid out on the calendar.
Every photograph of the trip in one place; the ones you heart lead the book.
Paste a link from anywhere: it waits as Someday, becomes Next when it has a day, Been once it has passed.
Nothing more to type: what you kept on the way turns into three things to keep.
Every country with the year you first went, and every route on one sheet — to download and frame.
A strip per trip, drifting across your profile. Friends or everyone — never a stranger unless you say.
The route opens the book, each city a chapter, every day its diary and its photographs.
Boswell lives in its own tab, beside Stops, Days and Map. It reads what you hand it and always shows what it found before anything is filed — leave it out, correct it, or file it.
Nothing to design from scratch. The book is laid out from what you kept on the way; you choose the shape and move what you like.
Everything here is free to use. Membership, more book styles and printed copies are coming; their prices will be here when they are ready.
Trips, the diary, photographs, expenses, the register, the chart, Boswell, and the journal with its PDF.

You alone. A trip is shared only with the people you invite onto it: they see the plans and the gallery. Your diary is yours, on a shared trip too, and an expense is seen only by who paid it and the people it is split with.
No. It reads what you hand it — a booking, a receipt, a question — and always shows what it found before anything is filed: leave it out, correct it, or file it. What it files can be undone.
Yes. Record the next journey, or the one from 10 years ago; the Register counts both, and either can become a book.
On servers in Singapore. Export, in Settings, writes every journey you own into one file at any time; Delete everything removes what is yours alone.
Both. It opens in the browser on either, and on a phone it can be added to the home screen and used like an app.
Named after James Boswell, the diarist, who wrote a life down closely enough that the record outlived it. Your record is stored in Singapore, and who sees it is yours to set.
