there's a Letterboxd for movies and a Goodreads for books. now there's one for travel. the waitlist just opened 🏔️
Your bucket list is a note you have not opened since January. Somewhere in it is the trip you have talked about for years. Matterhorn gives that list a real home. It launches this fall, and the waitlist is live.

Unpopular travel opinion: when you go matters more than where you go. Torres del Paine in February and Torres del Paine in July are two different places. Timing is the most underrated decision in travel.

Two years of building, and the beta keeps teaching me things I could not have learned alone. Testers find bugs where I thought Matterhorn was bulletproof. Every fix sharpens the version you will get this fall.

Last call to be early. Everyone who joins the waitlist before Matterhorn's launch goes public is a founding member to me. You believed in this thing before you could download it. I will remember that list.

You have a rating for every movie you watched this year. You have a rating for zero of the trips you took. The best week of your year deserves better than a camera roll. That is the gap Matterhorn closes when it launches this year.

Shoulder season is the biggest cheat code in travel. Same places, half the crowds, better light, cheaper flights. September and May beat July almost everywhere. What is the one place that is actually better in peak season?

Shipping the Macs clear of the iPhone is the underrated part. Two launches in one week means one of them gets eaten, and it is never the one you wanted. Worth stealing even if your launch is a video and a link.
It's the most Tim Cook thing ever to have his final product launch be a Mac chip refresh and then let his successor be the one to introduce the biggest new iPhone ever just two weeks later.

I have been to a lot of cities I can barely tell you anything about. Not because the trips were forgettable. There was just nowhere to put the memory. Your camera roll knows where you stood. Nothing knows what you thought. That gap is why Matterhorn exists.

Fixing it for myself first, and for you in early September. The waitlist is open: trymatterhorn.com

Everyone plans trips around the big sights. The days you end up telling stories about are the ones where you planned nothing. Build in an empty day. It can often beat the itinerary.

Beta week two. The bug list is doing the thing you hope it does: getting shorter faster than it gets longer. Fixes ship, another wave of testers comes in, and the app gets harder to break. Public launch is starting to feel real.

Every time a friend visits a city you know, you type the same five recommendations into a DM from memory. You have done this ten times. You will do it forever. Matterhorn gives those recs a permanent home. Waitlist link below.

The gap between a beta and a public launch is not features. It is trust. Every bug a tester catches now is one a stranger never meets at launch. That is the whole job for the next few weeks.

What's a place everyone told you to skip that turned out to be the best part of the trip? The guidebook misses are the ones you end up defending at dinner parties. Make your case.

Public launch is about 4-6 weeks out. Two years of building this alone, and now the finish line is actually visible. I have shipped a lot of features. Shipping a whole app to strangers feels very different.

Your travel history lives in three places. Your camera roll, your Notes app, and a group chat you will never scroll back through. None of them can tell you your favorite trip. Matterhorn puts your whole travel life in one place. Waitlist link below.
