Turn your photos into trips
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Record your hikes, with live stats on your Lock Screen, then turn each one into a story and a reel. Your trips build themselves from your photos.
Your best trips are already on your phone — as 400 unsorted photos. Aermes reads the times and places in your camera roll and hands you back the trip: the stops you made, the days as they happened, on a map, ready to keep or share.
POST WITHOUT STOPPING
Set up Quick Capture and a tap of the Action Button — or a double-tap on the back of your phone — opens the camera. Take the photo. You're done. Aermes figures out where you were and writes the first draft of the caption.
RELIVE IT PROPERLY
Turn any trip into a reel, rendered on your phone in seconds, with a look you pick and music if you want it. Watch your whole travel history as a film that flies across the globe. Export any trip as a printable travel journal.
TRAVEL TOGETHER
Invite friends onto a trip: they add their photos, write their own captions, check in at stops. Share any trip with a link you can watch and revoke. Friends without the app see the whole thing in the browser, no download needed.
TAKE A TRIP SOMEONE ACTUALLY TOOK
Every trip here is one a person really made — real photos, real places, in the order they happened. When you see one you want, make it yours: the stops and the days copy across as your own draft, ready to change. Their photos and their words stay theirs.
HIKE ANYWHERE
Pick from 1,800+ trails across the Pacific Northwest and California — difficulty, length, and elevation on every pin — or just start recording. Distance, time, and climb are tracked on your phone, with or without signal, and your track is measured against the trail: how far you got, where you wandered off. Hike with friends and see everyone's numbers on the same stop. Name a route of your own and it can join the public catalog with your name on it, permanently.
YOUR PASSPORT
Your profile is a living record: a globe with your pin on it, every country and city, and who you are as a traveler — written from where you've actually been.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Photo location data is stripped the moment a trip goes public. Links you share are yours to kill. Delete your account and your data goes with it.
Hiking is here.
- Record a hike from the new Hike tab. Time, distance and climb keep counting with the screen off, and they show on your Lock Screen.
- Recording survives the phone closing the app, pauses itself when you stop, and gives you true numbers at the finish.
- Find trails on the map, see each route drawn in, and pick round trip or one way.
- Finish a hike and it becomes its own page with a story and a reel. Hike it again in one tap.
Trips
- A new trip page brings your photos, places and story onto one screen.
- Make a trip from dates. Pick the days and Aermes gathers the photos, and you can leave out any trip it found.
- Trips now stretch over days where your photos had no location.
- From photos shows every trip in place, and you can send us a diagnostics report if one looks wrong.
- Share a link from another app to Aermes to save its places to a trip or collection.
- Plan with Places & Days, an itinerary builder for where you'll go each day.
Under the hood
- Large photo uploads are steadier. Photos stay on your phone until our server confirms it has them.
- A clearer photo permission message that says exactly what is uploaded and who can see it.
- Many fixes and speedups.
