How to keep a travel journal each evening from the day’s photos

Short answer

Make one card a day. In the evening, open the trip and tap Make today’s card. The day’s photos and places are already suggested. Keep the ones that belong, give the day a title, and tap Add. It takes a few minutes, and the card goes on the trip’s Board.

If you’ve tried Day One or the Notes app on a trip, you know the blank page on day three. A card starts from the day’s photos and stops instead.

Before you go (one minute)

  1. Allow Photos.
  2. Optional: allow Location, so Roamwell notices the places you stop. It does this only while the trip is live.
  3. Optional: turn on Daily reminder and pick Remind me at: First thing, Afternoon, Evening, or Before bed.

During the day: just travel

Take photos the way you always do. Tap Check in at a spot that doesn’t make a good picture. Everything collects on Days.

In the evening: today’s card

  1. Tap Make today’s card, or the reminder: “Today’s photos and places are ready to look over.”
  2. Photos. Keep the suggested ones, or tap Show all to pick from the whole day.
  3. Places. Keep the ones that belong. Tap Edit place to fix a wrong name.
  4. Give it a Card title and tap Add.
  5. That’s today’s card: the story you’d tell at dinner. Open it any time to write a few lines.

Took more photos after dinner? The button turns into Add to today’s card.

Missed a night?

Earlier days stay open. On Days, tap Add to board on that day.

What Roamwell does each evening

The reminder
Once on each remaining trip day, at the time you pick. Nothing after the trip ends.
The places
They come from your photos, your check-ins, and stops Roamwell noticed. Nothing is invented.
The Board
Only the days you add become cards. The rest stay on Days.
