## What is HARETO?

Ask, and the AI writes the day up as a photo journal.
From an afternoon out to a long trip around Japan.
Plan it, record it and look back on it with family or friends, in one journal.

■ Turn a day into a photo journal
• Ask, and the AI writes the day from your plans, photos, places and notes
• Choose the tone first, then rewrite any of it
• Move the photos, show one large, leave some out
• At the end, ask for a summary of the trip

■ Recording is just collecting
• Photos from that time appear as suggestions, matched on your iPhone; only what you add is uploaded
• The roads you took, kept on the map, by hand or automatically in hours you set
• Notes, voice input, impressions, costs, bookings, reusable packing lists
• Weather where you are heading, at home and abroad (Japan Meteorological Agency / MET Norway)

■ It starts with a place you want to go
• Save places with no date on them, with travel times between them
• Give a place a date and it becomes a plan; a day that will not fit is flagged
• Tell the AI your destination, interests and pace; it builds the day around your saved places, yours to edit

■ One journal, made together
• Invite family or friends with a 6-digit code or a link
• Photos land on the day they were taken, so everyone's shots share one itinerary
• Anyone on the trip can edit a plan; impressions stay per person, with names
• Companions join on the free plan; storage and seats follow the trip creator's plan

■ Long trips stay in order
• Three views: Plan the days, Schedule to record them, Memories to read them back
• Split a long trip into sections by area or period and jump to any day

■ Publish it, take it with you
• Publish to Everyone's Trips, or unlisted for people with the link
• Hide home and other places, choose which hours go out; tracks are coarsened
• Share images and fly-through 3D movies of your route, plus PDF export: a journal for after, an itinerary for before

■ You can start without an account
Plans, records, photos, GPS tracks and packing lists work without signing in. Cloud storage, AI journals, sharing, Everyone's Trips and export need one.

■ Who it is for
• People who take the photos but never write the trip up
• Families and friends who want one record, not five camera rolls
• Anyone on a long trip, a road trip or van life

■ Why it is built this way
The developer rode the length of Japan and found that the longer a trip runs, the sooner the record stops: evenings go on planning tomorrow, leaving nothing for today's record. So planning and recording sit side by side, and the journal goes to the AI.

■ Free, Plus and Premium
Records, plans, GPS tracks and packing lists are unlimited on every plan. Paid plans raise cloud storage, AI allowance and seats.
• Free: 300 cloud photos, 3 AI journals and 1 AI plan a month, 2 people per trip, one shared trip
• Plus: 5,000 photos, 30 AI journals and 10 AI plans a month, 4 people, unlimited shared trips
• Premium: 15,000 photos and 5 GB of video, 60 AI journals and 20 AI plans a month, 6 people, unlimited shared trips, no HARETO logo
Photo figures are cloud storage limits, not device limits, counted across the trips you created. AI uses count against whoever ran them.
