Paper Boarding Pass Album
Scan fading paper boarding passes into an organized, shareable digital travel collection
- Problem
- People find drawers full of faded boarding passes they can't even remember; flight apps focus on tracking, delays, and miles—none on collecting the ticket itself.
- Solution
- An iOS native app that photographs and auto-corrects paper boarding passes into clean ticket images, recognizes flight/airport/seat info, and supports manual entry and import. Tickets stack by year like Apple Wallet, with multiple ticket styles. Tear off the stub to auto-link photos from the same dates in the system album; a footprint map tallies miles/cities/countries and generates shareable posters.
- Users
- Travel enthusiasts, souvenir collectors, frequent flyers
- MVP
- Scan and auto-correct boarding passes; recognize flight info with manual editing; stack by year; switch ticket styles; link album photos and generate footprint map posters
- Revenue
- Free download + in-app purchases for premium ticket styles/poster templates, or subscription for cloud backup and unlimited scans
- Why now
- Paper boarding passes are declining post-pandemic, making physical keepsakes scarcer; a solo dev can validate quickly on a single platform
