Connection & Log guide

From a track to a travelogue

A route is only
half the story.

The places you stopped. The photos you took. The details you want to remember. Passagebook brings them together in a report that feels like your trip.

    Record a passage on iPhone, keep a live marine log, import a GPX track, or bring in recorded Signal K data. On iPhone, the new-trip guide takes you through each step.

  2. Make it yours

    Build stops and legs, align photos to the route, and add your own notes. Matched edits stay with you when tracks are refreshed.

  3. Keep it. Share it.

    Publish the report on passagebook.app, create Post and Story images, export PDF on any device or HTML on Mac, or invite others to a read-only trip through iCloud.
