TripPhoto.app
Photo trips as map & route
Free
Your travel photos become a map – with a clean route along real roads, rail lines and sea routes. Record in the background, share, remember.
TripPhoto turns your travel photos into a living map. Upload your photos – their location data puts them in the right place automatically, connected by a clean route along real roads, railways and sea routes.
YOUR TRIP AT A GLANCE
• Photos land on the map automatically – by place and time taken
• Route coloured by transport: car, train, ship, flight, bike, walking
• Total distance and daily stages at a glance
• Elevation profile from the iPhone’s barometer
• Colour the route by speed, elevation or gradient – downhill blue, uphill red
RECORD ON THE ROAD
• Start right from your trip list – one tap and the trip is recording
• Everything at a glance while you travel: big buttons for photo, change transport, upload and stop
• The same buttons on the Lock Screen and in the cockpit widget
• Widgets for Home Screen and Lock Screen: today’s track, day band, year ring, live figures, cockpit
• Planned your route in advance? The app shows the next stop on the way, with distance and arrival time
• Starts by itself as soon as your iPhone connects to CarPlay or your car’s hands-free system
• Controls in Control Center and for the Action button
• Current recording also in CarPlay
• The route is recorded in the background, even with the screen off
• Without a connection, points are buffered and sent later by themselves
• If you stop for a long time, recording pauses by itself
• If the app is swiped away, the iPhone brings it back at the next change of location
• “Hey Siri, start recording in TripPhoto” – or press the Action button
• “Hey Siri, open Norway 2026 in TripPhoto” – Siri knows your trips
APPLE WATCH
• Start and stop recording right from your wrist
• “I’m here”: save the viewpoint without taking out your iPhone
• Distance and time of the current recording at a glance
• Workout mode for hikes and bike rides with heart rate – the workout is saved to Apple Health
FROM PHOTOS TO A STORY
• Map, photos, days and story on tabs; photos full screen with swipe and zoom
• Camera photos get place and time, even without location in the image
• With Apple Intelligence (on supported iPhones): title suggestions for your trip and short texts for each day – written on your iPhone, only from your trip’s own data
• On tripphoto.app: a story to read and share, photo map and year in review
WITH YOUR APPLE DEVICES
• Handoff: continue a trip from your iPhone on your Mac or iPad
• Your trips in iPhone search
SHARING
• Share trips with friends and family and comment together
• A link is all it takes – recipients don’t need an account
• Follow other travellers: when they publish a new trip, you get a notification
YOUR DATA BELONGS TO YOU
• Photos and locations are used only for your own trips
• You decide which trip stays private
• No ad tracking, no sharing for advertising
• Take all your data with you at any time, delete your account completely in the app
SAFE ON THE ROAD
If you’re driving, start before you set off – after that everything runs by itself. While driving, a passenger or Siri operates the app.
TripPhoto is free, with no ads and no purchases.

Version 1.1 adds new widgets, brings your planned route along for the ride and
tidies up the trip view.
WIDGETS
• Track: today’s route as a line, with place, distance and duration
• Day band: the day as a timeline, coloured by means of transport
• Year ring: this year’s distance and trips as a ring
• Drive: speed, elevation and transport of the current recording
• Diary: the last few days, one below the other
• Cockpit: photo, waypoint, pause, transport and stop right in the widget
• On the Lock Screen: transport, distance, place and next stop
• The two widgets from the first release are gone. If one of them is still on
your Home Screen, press and hold it and remove it – the new ones are waiting

(planning happens on tripphoto.app)
