Your trip. Your memories. Even offline.
Record where you stay and what you experience. Collect places you still want to discover. And keep maps, country info and your documents with you on the road, even without a signal.
Your trip stays on your device, not on someone else's servers. Nobody analyses it, and it doesn't train any AI. If you like, MyBuktu backs it up automatically to your own cloud. Where your data lives
This is how family and friends see a shared trip, in the browser and without the app. Expenses, receipts and live location never appear here.
Capture first, sort later.
Start a trip
Name, start date, done. The map of your travel region comes along, even without a signal.
Capture on the road
A stay with one tap, a photo straight into a moment. The app fills in place and time and suggests stops it detects.
Relive and share
Map and timeline show the whole trip. Share with selected people or via a link. And at the end it becomes a photo book.
Because a trip is more than its journal.
Capturing memories is part of travelling. Finding that tip for the next outing, heading to a campsite or opening a booking confirmation is just as much a part of it. MyBuktu brings travel journal and practical companion together, with your data under your control.
Already travelling with Polarsteps? A guide walks you through the export. The import brings over route, texts and photos, recognises trips you already have and keeps everything private at first.

A good tip deserves a place.
A campsite from a travel blog, a restaurant from friends, a viewpoint from a podcast: collect your places with photos, notes, source and link, independent of any trip. If you like, MyBuktu reminds you when you're nearby.
- On the map or as a list, grouped by country or source, sorted by distance
- Nearby alert with your own radius, if location and notifications are allowed
- Navigate there with one tap or turn it into a stay
- Your wish list stays private and is never shared
Discovered today. Saved for later. Found again on your trip.

What MyBuktu can do.
Capture on the road
Stay and moment
Stays give the trip its structure, moments tell its story. Both with text, photos and voice recordings, shared or private.
Stops detected automatically
From your location history and photos, MyBuktu suggests matching stays and moments. You review and keep what belongs.
Speak instead of typing
Record a voice note or turn it straight into text when your hands are full.
Rate
Stars for every entry. The rating colours the dot on the map.
Help on the road
Navigation to every entry
To every place, moment or stay with Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze.
Country info
Emergency numbers, breakdown service, speed limits, alcohol limit, dialling code and currency, plus your own country notes. Offline too.
Information about your places
Useful facts about places you visit, researched via Wikipedia or optionally with Groq. You review before anything is added to your trip. See an example
Document vault
Copies of passport, ID, credit cards and insurance behind your device lock, with a reminder before they expire. Optionally in your cloud backup or as an emergency copy in your OneDrive, readable even without your phone.
Offline maps
Load map regions in advance. After that, map and recording work without internet.
Expenses
Record in any currency and see the total in your home currency.
For motorhomes and campers
Save pitches with water, power, waste disposal and price, and find them again.
After the trip
My World
All your trips on one map and country statistics over the years.
Photo book
A first draft is created from your trip. How it works
Take your data with you
Guided Polarsteps import, GPX export from any trip, and a full backup file you can restore on any device.
Know more about the places on your trip.
On request, MyBuktu looks up information about your stays and moments, via Wikipedia with no setup. For more places you can connect Groq, an AI service that uses your own account and names its sources. You read the suggestion and decide whether it goes into your trip.
- Only the place name, rounded location and language are sent, never photos or your trip texts
- Switched on per trip, Wi-Fi only if you prefer
- What you accept appears in the entry and later in the photo book
The text only appears in your entry once you accept it.
Share what others may see. Keep what's yours.
For every stay and moment you can add text, photos and voice recordings, each shared or private. Your followers only see what's shared. What's private stays with you.
- Shared: what family and friends should read, see and hear
- Private: pitch number, access code, notes that only matter to you
- Chosen individually for each text, photo and recording
Followers only see the top part, in the browser or in the app.
Your trip becomes a photo book.
MyBuktu knows your route, stays, moments and photos. From them it builds a first draft, page by page. You just refine it.
Available as a PDF for review today. Ordering prints comes later.
