## What is GYST?

Built by Russell and Jakub, two EV owners who got tired of juggling five apps that never agreed.

GYST brings your EV route, charging stops and estimated cost into one plan. See the whole trip before you leave.

Plan a one-way, multi-stop, or round trip using your vehicle, starting battery, connector support, reserve settings, preferred charging networks, and the things you want to do along the way.

SEE THE PLAN BEFORE YOU LEAVE

- Review the recommended route and charging plan.
- Review estimated driving time, charging time, arrival battery, and public-charging cost.
- See compatible charging stops and useful places along the route.
- Adjust the starting charge, stops, route, or charging preferences and recalculate.

PLAN AROUND REAL LIFE

- Look for food, coffee, restrooms, groceries, parking, and other useful stops.
- Understand how far a place is ahead, how far it sits off route, and its estimated detour.
- Keep a useful place near an existing charging stop instead of adding an unnecessary stop.

PLAN MULTI-DAY TRIPS

- Split a long journey into daily driving legs.
- Add overnight stops near charging and set your next-day departure charge.
- Choose North American or European vehicle versions, including a rental car abroad, so connector compatibility follows the car.

GO FURTHER WITH GYST PRO

The free plan includes core route planning, charger details, estimates, and live-trip progress, and may show ads. GYST Pro unlocks the Trip Concierge, saved and reusable trips, trip sharing, personalized stop recommendations, and the option to turn off ads.

Describe a trip in your own words and the Trip Concierge creates a draft. Use it to ask about a planned route, compare a different starting charge, look for fewer charging stops, or find a useful stop. Route feasibility, battery estimates, charging choices, timing, and cost are calculated by GYST’s route planner rather than invented by the conversation.

GYST Pro is offered through auto-renewing monthly and annual subscriptions. The App Store shows the price and billing period before purchase. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

STAY ORIENTED WHILE TRAVELLING

- Track trip progress in GYST.
- Keep next-stop and destination context visible on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activities.
- Launch each route leg in a supported navigation app.
- On supported CarPlay setups, keep trip information visible through Live Activities alongside your navigation app.
- Review the completed trip and compare estimated and actual arrival battery.

START WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT

Choose your actual EV and starting battery, then plan a personalized route before signing up. Guest mode also supports browsing, charger details and search. Guest preferences stay on this iPhone. Sign in with Apple is available for account-bound features such as cloud sync. Account export and deletion are available from Settings.

GYST supports iPhone on iOS 18 or later. Charger coverage includes Canada, the United States and supported European countries. Coverage and data freshness vary by region.

Route, range, battery, charger availability, traffic, weather, time, and cost are estimates. Conditions and third-party data can change. GYST is not a replacement for vehicle instruments, posted road rules, charger-network information, or driver judgment. GYST hands route legs to supported navigation apps; it is not a turn-by-turn navigation engine.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2026-10-14*

It’s great to have an EV app that shows you not only the chargers but all the things around the charger that might be of interest - like food!

### 5/5 — Great for long road trips

*2026-10-14*

I did 3650km road trip with my ID4 and because of this app it was absolutely smooth planning. It even was able to calculate the ferry time.  Thanks guys!

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2026-09-17*

This app actually works around your wants and needs rather than making you work around the charging infrastructure

- Tap departure, destination, battery percentages or the time directly in the planner to make changes.
- Choose your arrival battery target and GYST adjusts the charging plan when possible. If your charging limits prevent it, you get a clear explanation.
- Set an Arrive by time and see the estimated departure, with clear dates and local-time labels.
- Switching tires? Update each vehicle’s tire type and optional efficiency class for range and charging estimates that reflect your setup.
- Updating your current battery during a drive keeps remaining-charge estimates consistent across GYST, CarPlay and Live Activities.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-09-16

This update makes trip planning and discovery more dependable. Requested stops now stay in Concierge-planned routes, long-distance charging plans are more resilient, and nearby hotel and charger searches use fewer requests with better fallback results. Find Nearby pins remain stable and clearly highlight the selected place. Overnight charging recommendations now prioritize nearby L2 chargers on your member networks and remove duplicates. We also improved sheet scrolling, keyboard handling, dark mode, ads, charger details, background-location guidance, Live Activity reliability, and accessibility.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-09-10

No release notes.
