Somada

A journal for trips that split into a route, photos, and a day you meant to write down.

Somada is a travel journal for backpackers. A trip is easy to lose in pieces: the route in one place, the photos in another, and the day in a note that never meets them. Somada keeps the three together, so the journey is more than a list of pins.

You draw the path, set the photos along it, and write the day where it happened. The same trip can be read as a globe, as a paper map, or as a journal.

I designed and built it on my own, and shipped it on the App Store in 2025. It runs on iPhone and iPad, in English and Spanish. The full journal is an App Store subscription.
