Etappe – Travel Companion

You plan the route. Etappe keeps an eye on everything that carries a date: the passport that runs out before you are home again, the dog’s rabies vaccination, the deworming window before the border, the inspection due on the motorhome. Made for people who drive themselves — motorhome, camper or car, often with a dog, and happy to continue on foot where the road ends. Etappe won’t pick your route or book your campsite. It makes sure nothing expires while you do. ALERTS THAT DO THE MATH – Passports and ID documents checked against the end of the trip instead of against today, including the minimum validity the destination asks for – Rabies vaccination and the deworming treatment window for dogs, worked out to the hour around your border crossing — so you know which morning you need to be at the vet – Vehicle inspection (TÜV), motorway vignettes and documents for every vehicle – ETA and visa checkpoints in the entry checklist of each trip – Medication doses and overdue reminders, with a badge on the Alerts tab PLANNING A TRIP – A status for every trip, from “Considering” to “Under way”, so you always know where each one stands – Sketch: the rough shape of a trip without fixed dates — sort the blocks, set day boundaries, create the entries later – Research: save what you find, with address, price and phone number, then “Turn into” an accommodation, journey or activity – Accommodations with nights, check-in, check-out and campsite details – Journeys by car, ferry, flight, train, bicycle or on foot, with recorded routes, distance and driving time – Outdoor activities: hikes and bike tours with GPX import, walking time by the DAV formula and an elevation profile – Activities for everything else on the plan ON THE ROAD – Calendar agenda with a bar for each overnight stay and a timeline day view – “Today” to check off: what’s coming up, what’s done – Travel journal with photos and PDF export – Packing lists from templates, per person, as PDF – Budget with a status light and currency conversion into euros – Documents and receipts, scanned straight into the app – Reminders that arrive while you can still act on them TRAVELERS – People with ID documents and vaccinations – Pets with an EU pet passport, rabies status, deworming treatment and vet appointments – Vehicles with dimensions, documents and a service log ALSO IN THE APP – “Where I’ve been”: the world map of the countries you have visited – Country records for 38 countries from etappe.app, usable offline and written for travelers based in Germany, Austria or Switzerland – Exports: itinerary PDF, journal PDF, packing list PDF, ICS calendar, JSON backup YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account, no server, no tracking, no ads. Everything lives on your device; if you want it, your own private iCloud keeps iPhone and iPad in sync. Etappe doesn’t book anything and doesn’t recommend anything: no hotel offers, no flight search, no navigation and no route calculation. Just your plan, your deadlines, your trip. ONE PURCHASE, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Etappe is free and fully usable for 14 days. After that, a one-time purchase of €9.99 unlocks the full version for good — no subscription, nothing that renews.
