Sometimes you don’t want to write an application. But you’ve experienced the same problem so many times that one day you sit down and say, “Okay, I’ll solve this.” myRoute That’s exactly how he was born.
I open maps for hours before traveling. When you say, “Let’s go here, then there, but that museum is closed on Monday, let’s change the order…” the plan itself becomes more tiring than the holiday. This is why I made myRota: my route, your route. In other words, to collect the routes that someone has actually walked, tried, and said “this place makes more sense at this time” in a single application.
Today myRota iOS both Android in their stores. In this article, I’ll walk you through the app — its features, how much content it has, collections, points challenge, and why it’s worth downloading.
What is myRota?
Briefly: A smart and practical travel planner. Whether it’s a short weekend getaway or a two-week tour of Japan; You can add routes prepared by people who have visited that destination before to your library. If you want your own route RouteAI You create it with . You mark the places you visit with check-in. You don’t forget the points you bookmarked. You collect travel memories in the collections section.
So myRota is not a “just open a map and put a pin” application. More, The notebook in the pocket of an experienced traveler Think like.
What’s on myRota now? (in numbers)
At the time I was writing the article (according to the current database), the application has a table roughly like this:
- close to 4,750 registered user
- 13 countries catalog — Japan, South Korea, Turkey, Spain, England, Scotland, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Saudi Arabia
- More than 60 itineraries/routes (most part is published)
- Total among programs More than 1,600 activities
- On the map More than 550 pins/points
- 6 continents navigation with structure
The content distribution by country is as follows (roughly, based on program + activity):
- Japan: 18 routes · ~400 activities (14-day Japan route alone 213 activities; Kawagoe, Nikko, Hakone, Kamakura day trips…)
- South Korea: 16 routes · ~134 activities (Goblin, Vincenzo, Queen of Tears and many more series location routes)
- Balkans: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia — multi-day tours and combination programs (including 21-day Balkans Full Tour)
- Türkiye: 4 routes · ~82 activities (3 Days Istanbul, 29 Mosques, TV series locations…)
- Spain: Madrid & Barcelona + Andalusia
- England & Scotland: Harry Potter location tours
- Saudi Arabia: individual Umrah program is growing in the catalog
These are not a “static list”. As I travel and add new days and activities, myRota expands. That’s my favorite part: the app is a living thing.
main features of myRota
1) Ready routes (manual programs)
You open the app → continent → country → program. For example 14 Days Japan, 5-Day Tokyo City Program, Day Trip to Kawagoe / Hakone / Kamakura from Tokyo, goblin or Queen of Tears TV series locations, 3 Days Istanbul, 21 Days Balkans Full Tour, Andalusia, Harry Potter England & Scotland… Each program is divided into days. Every day has activities: where to go, what order, what is the rhythm of that day.
The most critical thing for me is this: these routes are not “randomly collected places from the internet”. Most of them are routes that I or the travelers who feed the application have actually walked, spent their time on, and written down as “I wish I had done this”.
program you like to your library You add it and carry it with you throughout your trip. With check-in you say “I made it here”. You add it to your favorites and make a “don’t miss this” list.
2) RouteAI — generate your own route
If the ready program is not enough RouteAI there is. You tell us the city you will go to, how many days you have, what kind of trip you want; The application creates a personalized route for you. Especially “I have 2 days to this city, what should I do?” It is very useful when you say so.
When the ready-made route + artificial intelligence route come together, both a “reliable framework” and “custom flexibility” are available in the same application.
3) Collections
This part comes from my personal obsession. Most people collect photos after returning from travel. I also magnet, money, glasses, countries visited I want to keep track of things like. This is exactly what the Collections section in myRota is for.
It’s not just “keeping a list”; It gamifies travel. “Did I buy a magnet from this country?”, “Did I add this coin to my collection?” This does not break the connection with the application even after completing the journey. Also in the collections playing cards and there are lists of explorations like the seven wonders of the world — adding up to hundreds of cards/templates in total.
4) Check-in and progress tracking
When you start the program, you progress day by day. When you complete an activity, you check in. So “where was I on day 3?” The question disappears. This feature saves lives, especially in long programs (such as 14 days in Japan).
5) Favorites
Sometimes a place is included in the program, but you want to put it separately on your “must see” list. That’s what favorites are for. You can determine your own priorities without getting lost in the route.
6) Country information
“What should I know before entering the country?” partial. Practical information, trip preparation notes… You bought the plane ticket, booked the hotel, but if you don’t know what to do on the first day in the country, this is it.
7) Travelers — points competition
Also on myRota travelers There is a tab. You can think of it as a step / score competition. An area lined with people who open the application and browse and move around. It gives both motivation and the feeling of “I’m not traveling alone”.
I want to grow the application not only as a planning tool, but also as a small traveler community. This tab is part of that intention.
8) Comments, announcements, Seven Wonders and more
There are comments under the programs. Announcements are flowing on the home page. Exploration proposals such as the Seven Wonders appear. You can also view it as a guest; When you open an account, you log in with Google / Apple / email and complete your experience.
For whom?
- They will go to a country for the first time (especially Japan / South Korea / Istanbul / Balkans / Spain)
- Those who do not want to build the route from scratch
- Those who want a daily checklist
- Those who keep a collection and want to experience travel as a “game”
- Those who want to quickly set up their own route with AI
In my own use, myRota has become: plan before the trip, guide during the trip, scrapbook after the trip.

Why did I write myRota? (some intimate part)
I’ve been traveling for years. I have world tour notes, I have diaries, I have lists. But after a while I realized that these notes were scattered. Some of it is on the phone, some of it is in Notion, some of it is in the head. myRota is actually an effort to tidy up my own mess.
At the same time, I also want this: When I say “I did this in 14 days in Japan” or “I visited the places where Goblin was filmed”, someone else can open it and use it. Sharing experiences doesn’t have to be just an Instagram story. Sometimes the most valuable share is a well-ordered route.
The practice is still growing. New countries, new programs, new ideas on the collection side… All are on the way. If you download and use it, write a comment, check-in; myRota is taking shape together with you.
