Auto Journal

Auto Journal logs your visits and trips with photos and maps, turns them into insights and shareable stories, and checks off your bucket list the moment you arrive.

A journal and trips that log themselves.

Auto Journal records your life as you live it. Every place you spend real time becomes a visit, with no check-ins and no typing. Each visit gets your photos and a map of how you got there. Your weeks, months and years build into a journal you can relive, share and learn from, all kept private in your own iCloud.

Why you'll love it

  • Your days log themselves. Every visit is saved and named automatically, with the photos you took there, the weather, and the route you traveled. Time away from home is grouped into trips, each with a route map, photos and stats you can replay on the map.
  • Share your trips. Send a trip, a place or a list of favorites to friends and family as a polished PDF with tappable links, or as plain text. Only public details go out, never your private notes.
  • Insights that grow over time. See where your time goes, your top-rated places, how much you travel and your step and workout goals for any week, month or year. "On this day" brings back memories from years past.
  • Build a bucket list that checks itself off. Pick the places you dream of from 1,272 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the 63 US National Parks, the Wikipedia 500 or any place on Apple Maps. When you get there, Auto Journal notices on its own and celebrates with a "You made it!" screen.
  • Bring in past trips. Import trips from your photo library (for trips taken before you installed Auto Journal) or from a GPX file.
  • Private by design. Your data lives in your own iCloud. It's never sold, and it's made by an independent developer, not a company mining your location.
