TELL THE STORY

This is the companion blog for Sidecar Photo - an app that turns your travel photos into the online album you always meant to make.
Maps, timeline, stories, one link.

Your photos have been waiting for this.

Every photo you take with your phone knows where it was taken and when. That data is yours — it’s been sitting there all along.

We use it to build a real travel story: a beautiful map, context about the places you visited, captions that remind you of the places you went. All you do is upload.

Your location data is yours. We never sell it.

Google Photos mines your photos for data. iCloud just stores them.

None of them turn your trip into something you actually want to share.

We do — and it lives online, so you can send it to anyone in seconds. Or revisit by yourself with a cup of coffee. Your call.

Private by default, but easy to share.

I spent two years traveling the world with a camera.

I came home with a hard drive full of the best experiences of my life — and then real life started again.

Work. Routine. Chores. The albums I always meant to make kept getting pushed back. The photos just sat there. All those memories, those sights, those moments — buried in a folder.

So finally I built something to bring those trips back to life. I wanted to make it easy and fast – use the data already in the photos, plus a sprinkling of AI to enrich the album in seconds. Then add the stories that make it yours.

And once I did, I couldn’t keep it to myself.
