Fieldnotes

We got tired of bad travel advice.

We built Fieldnotes because we kept seeing the same problem. Travelers landing in new countries with a dead SIM, no local currency, and a taxi driver charging triple — while everything they needed to know was buried across Reddit threads, ad-stuffed blog posts, and five-year-old forum replies.

We thought: what if all of that was already done for you? What if there was an app that handed you exactly what you need — visa rules for your passport, the actual exchange rate, which taxi apps work, what to say at restaurants — in 30 seconds, not 30 browser tabs?

That's Fieldnotes.

How it works

Every country guide is built from the ground up. We read the Reddit threads, the travel forums, the embassy websites, the local news. We cross-reference everything and compress it into 9 cards that actually matter: what to do when you land, how to get around, where to eat, what to avoid, and what to say.

Then we personalize it. An American in Tokyo sees different visa info, embassy details, and cultural tips than a Brazilian. A budget traveler sees different recommendations than someone traveling in luxury. A solo female traveler gets safety data that actually matters.

What we believe

  • Travel advice should be free of ads. No pop-ups, no sponsored results disguised as tips, no data selling. You pay once, you own it forever.
  • Offline should be the default. The moment you need a travel guide most — when you land with no SIM — is exactly when most apps fail. Fieldnotes works without internet.
  • Your passport matters. A travel guide that treats everyone the same is useless. Visa rules, embassy info, and cultural tips change completely based on where you're from.
  • Travelers know best. The best tips come from people who were there last week, not a copywriter who's never visited. That's why we built community tips into every card.
