## What is SPOT?

SPOT is the ad-free planner built around your taste. Tell it what you're after, a day, a night out, a weekend or a trip, and it builds the whole thing: where to eat, what to see, and what's next, in an order that flows, mapped and ready to go.

Name the places you have to see, and SPOT builds the day around them, with places worth finding in between. The must-sees hold the day together. The new finds are what SPOT is for.

No endless scrolling. No twenty open tabs. No sponsored places dressed up as recommendations. Just a plan that feels like it came from a friend who knows the city, and your taste.

Swipe through a quick deck of scenes, keep the SPOTs you love, and SPOT plans around them. It's planning, not searching.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Plan a day or a night out around your taste
- Plan a weekend or a trip day by day, up to five days in one plan
- On the SPOT: set the basics and SPOT picks the rest
- See why each SPOT made the plan
- Flip any plan between its Day and its Map, and follow along on the Lock Screen
- Look up a reservation where a stop takes one, and add the plan to your calendar
- Open SPOT to the plan that's happening now and the ones coming up
- See every plan on one calendar in My plans
- Keep My SPOTs on a map of each city, then build a plan around the ones you pick
- Share a saved post to SPOT, and it looks up the place the post names
- Keep the dates that matter, like birthdays, anniversaries and friends visiting, and plan around them
- Collect a stamp for every city you plan
- Share a plan as one card, sized for a post or a story

SPOT is ad-free, and always will be. No sponsored results, no pay-to-rank, no selling your data. Trust is the whole point.

I know a SPOT.

FREE AND SPOT+
A day or a night out is free. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence those plans are built on the iPhone, with no weekly limit. On other iPhones they are built in the cloud, up to five a week. The first weekend or trip is free too.

SPOT+ adds every multi-day trip, a weekend to a getaway; each stop's listed hours, where Foursquare has them; and unlimited plans, no weekly limit.

Cloud planning is always your choice. SPOT asks before it sends a planning request to its AI providers, and the answer can be changed anytime in My SPOT.

SPOT+ is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-10-12

SPOT now keeps an eye on the clock while you are out.

If a day starts to run short, or a booking is coming up, SPOT tells you when it's time to go. Tap the reminder and it opens that day on the reason, so you can give a stop more time or leave the timing exactly as it is.

Timing reminders have their own switch in Settings, and they are yours to turn off whenever you like.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-21

No release notes.
