Skratch is one of the more popular modern visited-countries apps, built around the satisfying scratch-map aesthetic and a clean way to mark where you have been. If a country scorecard is all you want, it does the job. But many travelers eventually want more than a map that fills in — they want trip memory pages, music tied to each journey, granular European regional coverage, and shareable formats. If you are shopping for a Skratch alternative in 2026, these are the six picks worth knowing about.

They want trip memory pages with photos, cities, and notes, not just a scratch map
They want a Spotify soundtrack attached to each trip
They want granular European regional tracking (Nordics, Balkans, Mediterranean)
They want the viral flag calendar export for Instagram and TikTok
They want more tracking in the free tier
They want 400+ subdivisions across multiple countries, not just country pins

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Skratch alternative for iPhone?

Voyy, for most iPhone travelers. It matches Skratch on visited-countries tracking and adds a memory-journal layer: trip pages with photos and notes, a Spotify soundtrack per trip, the viral flag calendar, European regional tracking, and 400+ subdivisions.

Is there a Skratch alternative with trip journaling?

Yes. Skratch focuses on the scratch-map scorecard rather than trip memories. Voyy and TripMemo both add journaling; Voyy keeps the visited-countries map and layers trip pages, music, and shareable formats on top.

Voyy includes country and city tracking, trip pages, the flag calendar, and widgets for free. Voyy Pro adds European regions, US states, 400+ subdivisions, advanced stats, and cloud sync. Many trackers paywall city-level tracking, so Voyy's free tier tends to be more generous.

Is Voyy free?

Voyy is free to download and includes country tracking, city tracking, trip pages with photos and notes, the flag calendar, and home screen widgets. Voyy Pro is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks European regions, US states, 400+ subdivisions, advanced travel stats, unlimited trip photos, watermark-free sharing, and cloud sync.
