The story

Jorial started as a gift. My wife wanted one place to keep the places we've been — our photos lived in one app, notes in three others, and there was no way to look back at a trip as one thing. So I built her a travel diary: you write an entry with photos or video, and it lands on a map by date. Over time the map fills in and becomes a record of your life in motion. It quietly saves the temperature from each day, stamps countries as you go, and lets two people share one journal — which was the whole point. There's no feed, no ads, no trackers. It's a diary, not a social network. Jorial is available now on iOS and Android.
