Balise

Balise · trips, remembered

The trip diary you were already keeping.

You ask Which night was the spritz in Rome?

Trattoria da Francesco, 22 June 2024 — the terrace under the festoon lights. The photo carries the date and Rome location; your loved mark records what you thought.

You photographed the trip without keeping a diary. Balise brings the dates, places, rooms, menus and receipts together so a half-remembered moment can lead you back to the right night.

Dates and capture locations anchor every trip. First 90 days free within plan limits, with no automatic charge.

A roll goes in. The bottles, the tables and the nights come back, then you ask.

Two rolls. Tap a name or swipe.

01 Ask

You remember a scrap. That’s enough.

A neighbourhood, a colour, “that little place” — every answer comes back with the photos it stands on, and the date you could never have produced yourself.

  • “Which night was the spritz in Rome?”Trattoria da Francesco, 22 Jun 2024 — the terrace under festoon lights, found from the drink, city and date in the photos.
  • “Where was that counter in Kyoto?”The kaiseki place, 10 Nov 2024 — two days after the whisky bar in Shibuya, same trip, filed as one week in Japan.
  • “That eerie sky — was that Norway?”It was. A fjord, 21 Jun 2024 at 23:40 — storm clearing, a lone pier, midsummer light.
  • “What total was on the Shibuya receipt?”¥4,800 at Bar Higashi, paid at 22:41 — the receipt you photographed and forgot connects to the bottle four minutes earlier.

These are illustrative examples from the demo roll. Yours will answer from your photos and notes.

02 Memory

Trips assemble themselves. Then the nights inside them.

You were home, then you weren’t, then you were again — that’s a trip, worked out from dates and places before any AI runs. The clever part comes after, on a spine that’s just facts.

Nine photos become one dinner.

Nobody takes one picture of a night out. Balise folds the room, the menu, two plates and the label into the night they were — with the photos as witnesses.

What stood out says why.

A new city, repeated dated photo sets from the same terrace, a week bounded by home photos — the moments Memory groups carry the facts that explain why.

The week travels as one link.

Turn a day out into a Story with the photos, places and details you want to remember. Balise helps put it together. You add your words and share one link, so friends can explore it without the app. Explore Stories.

03 Your AI

Claude, with your trips in view.

Connect Balise to Claude or ChatGPT and ask about a place from the last trip before you plan the next one. It can use your dates, locations, photographed details and marks to give a personal answer. How the connector works.

Facts work by default. Letting your AI see selected photos is optional and reversible. See the privacy boundary.
