    A note from the founder

    We didn't build this for the group. We built it for the one.

    I took my first big UK and Europe trip in 2019 — backpacked the whole thing with one backpack across five countries. I got lost, missed trains, ate good food, and somewhere in the middle of all that found the version of myself I'd been looking for. Someone who was free.

    Every app since has been built for couples, families, groups — for everyone except the person travelling alone on purpose. Yo Compass is the field guide I wish I'd had: one that hands you the map and the courage, then gets out of the way. We guide you. We never decide for you.

    Edition № 01 ships this autumn. I hope you'll go your own way with us.

    Questions, answered.

    When does Yo Compass launch? +
    Edition № 01 ships Autumn 2026. Everyone on the waitlist boards first, in the order they joined — your boarding pass arrives before public launch.
    What does it cost? +
    There's a free-forever tier with Just Landed Mode, the Journal, the Travel Map and Compass Meet. Explorer is $6.99/mo and Compass Pro is $14.99/mo — both cancel anytime.
    iOS, Android, or both? +
    Both. iOS and Android launch together, with an offline-first core so your map, vault and journal work even with no signal.
    Which countries are covered? +
    All of them. The 30 pillars and 236 partners are global from day one — Just Landed Mode works at every major airport, and the Travel Map charts anywhere you wander.
    Is it really built for solo travelers? +
    Entirely. Every feature assumes you're travelling alone — and Solo-Connected lets you choose connection on your terms, from a two-hour meetup to a twenty-person expedition, without ever giving up your independence.
    What's the physical journal? +
    A hardback companion book from $24. Print entries straight from the app — every page carries a QR linking back to your digital memory, forever.
