live it,

One place for the whole trip. Record it from the first idea to the last night, let Boswell — the assistant — file the paperwork and help write the days, then bind it into a journal you can hold.

Every night has a bed, every day a shape.
Stops and nights, the way between them, each day hour by hour, the places you mean to see — then the diary, the photographs and the money as it happens.

From the first idea to the last night.
One fictional trip — Lisbon, Madrid, Marrakesh, Essaouira, 15 days — kept in one place all the way through. Most tools take one phase; this one carries all three.
Plan it
Stops and nights, the way between them, every day hour by hour.
Live it
Days, the map and Boswell are one tap apart; the diary, photographs and costs go on the day they happened.
Between trips, the globe. On the road, today.
The app opens on everywhere you have been. The day you leave, the same first screen turns into the day in front of you — and turns back when you are home.
No signal? Keep writing.
Everything you add is saved on the phone first and goes up on its own when there is signal; Sync says plainly what is on the server and what is still waiting. Download a trip before you leave and its map comes too: with no signal, the Map draws from the copy kept on the phone — every stop, and the streets around it.
Keep it — what the trip becomes.
Nothing more to type. What you kept on the way turns into three things to keep.

All three at once: the route opens the book, each city a chapter, every day its diary and its photographs.
How the journal is made ↓Paperwork in, the trip out.
Boswell lives in its own tab, beside Stops, Days and Map. It reads what you hand it and always shows what it found before anything is filed — leave it out, correct it, or file it.
Flights and stays, from the email or the PDF
Forward the confirmation or drop in the PDF. Boswell reads the dates, the times, the reference and the price, shows you what it found, and files it on the right day of the right trip.
A pocketful at once
Photograph the day’s receipts, up to 10 at a time. A meal goes on the evening it was eaten; a purchase into expenses, in the money it was paid in.
What is next, and what is left
In the morning, the day ahead in a few lines. In the evening, what is still loose: a cost with no receipt, a day not yet written up.
Questions about the trip you are on
Ask what you would ask a well-travelled friend. Boswell answers knowing where you are, where you sleep and what you have planned — and can put what it suggests on your checklist.
A few questions, then the day in your words
Too tired to write? Boswell asks 2 or 3 questions about the day and drafts the entry from your answers. Keep it, change it, or write your own.
Lost twice in the souk before the riad found us. Dinner at Al Fassia — the lamb, and nothing else needed saying.
Plain insteadShorterSave to the diaryFrom the diary to a book.
Nothing to design from scratch. The book is laid out from what you kept on the way; you choose the shape and move what you like.

Named after James Boswell, the diarist, who wrote a life down closely enough that the record outlived it. Your record is stored in Singapore, and who sees it is yours to set.
