About AdventureLog
Everything travel, united in one place — log where you've been, plan what's ahead, and see your whole travel story on one map.
AdventureLog is a modern travel companion you run yourself. Track locations and visits, build trip itineraries, mark countries and regions on a world map, and share plans with the people you travel with — without handing your memories to a closed platform.
Core features
Log locations & visits
More than a pin on a map — dates, notes, photos, categories, trails, and visit history.
Plan trips & itineraries
Multi-day collections with flights, lodging, checklists, calendar views, and shared planning.
Track your world travel
Countries, regions, and cities on an interactive map — stats, milestones, and history.
