8BitsTripLog
Photo-powered travel journal
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: Time View plays your trip as a film. The map follows you from stop to stop while your photos, place stories and soundtrack bring the journey back.
8BitsTripLog turns the photos already in your library into a private, living travel journal for iPhone and iPad.
Choose a date range and TripLog builds the trip for you. Photo dates and embedded locations are analyzed on your device. Screenshots are excluded, and real travel moments are grouped into a journey with cities, stops, transit, days, and active hours.
Relive each journey through a chronological timeline filled with photos, places, maps, notes, and personal events. Every trip keeps the local time of the places you visited, so a Tokyo breakfast is still breakfast when you read it at home.
Watch your trip come back to life with Journey Replay. The map follows your route from stop to stop, walking, driving, and flying between cities, while your photos appear as postcards and each city earns its stamp. Replay a single trip or your whole logbook.
Time View plays any trip as a film. The map flies from stop to stop and draws each leg of the journey, place cards tell the story, your photos drift in, and a sky strip follows the light from morning gold to evening blue. Notes and events appear along the way, and the film closes with the days, places and photos of your trip. Choose one of eight built-in soundtracks for each trip, and play Highlights or All my photos.
Explore every saved journey on its own map, or view your complete travel history on the global map. Jump directly to a month or year as your logbook grows.
Build a personal travel Passport from the places you have visited. Review detected cities, confirm the ones that belong, and collect postal-style stamps for cities and countries, in typographic or photo-linocut style. Revisit earlier trips directly from a Passport entry.
Choose the look of your journal from 24 illustrated backgrounds, from sunlit coastal charts to rooftops at dusk. Match Background colors every page to suit the background you pick, or choose one of 14 named themes for every page.
Make every journal your own. Rename trips, adjust the photo range, choose a cover or key photo, exclude unwanted images, split or join photo groups, remove inferred places, and add your own places, notes, and dated events, including Before the trip and After the trip notes. Saved event links open in a focused in-app browser.
Enrich your trips with Apple Places and Wikipedia: real names for the landmarks and spots you visited, with short facts about them right in your timeline. Add Historical Weather to see each day's conditions where you were.
Trip Privacy puts you in control of online lookups: use On-Device Only mode, allow Apple place knowledge, or turn on enriched place context. TripLog never duplicates your photos. It keeps references to the originals in Apple Photos and stores only the journal structure and the information needed to organize each journey.
Optional iCloud sync keeps trip records and selected preferences on all your Apple devices. It syncs photo references so each device can find the originals in your existing iCloud Photos library.
Your first two trips include every feature, Time View too. 8BitsTripLog Pro opens all your trips: Pro Monthly and Pro Yearly are auto-renewing subscriptions, and Pro Lifetime is a one-time purchase. Family Sharing is supported. If a subscription ends, your other trips are locked, never deleted. Bought 8BitsTripLog before version 1.2? You keep Pro for life, with nothing to restore.

No 8BitsForge account. No advertising. No cross-app tracking. Diagnostics stay on your device unless you choose to share them.
A short welcome guide helps you set up on first launch, and a Sample Journey, three days across southern England, lets you explore the timeline, Journey Replay, map, and Passport before you grant access to your own library.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
We promised to always tell you what changed. This one's a big one:
• Time View. Your trip, played as a film: the map follows you from stop to stop, place cards tell the story, your photos drift in, and the light moves from morning gold to evening blue. Pick one of eight soundtracks for each trip.
• Before the trip, After the trip. Packing lists and homecoming notes finally have a home, up to 15 days on either side.
• 8BitsTripLog Pro. Your first two trips are free, with everything. Pro opens all of them: monthly, yearly, or once for life. Bought TripLog before? You already have Pro for life. Nothing to do.
• Offline? We now say so, instead of letting the map quietly sulk.
• Match Background is now a simple switch under the themes, so it finally says what it does.
Still no mysterious "improvements". We counted again.
