## What is TripDays?

TripDays keeps the whole trip in one shared plan: a day-by-day itinerary, maps, shared photos, a packing checklist, and split expenses, in sync with the people you travel with.


—— PLAN DAY BY DAY ——

Build each day on a timeline: flights, trains, lodging, food, hikes, and activities, each with its own details, booking status, and reminders. Plans without a date wait on the Ideas board. Drag to reorder or move plans between days, and add several in a row without leaving the keyboard.

A city you live in can be a home base: it keeps move-in and move-out dates instead of a trip range, with everyday plans on a month calendar.


—— PASTE A LINK OR A NOTE ——

Paste a booking, map, trail, tour, or rental link and TripDays fills in the plan: name, type, exact location, and details. The optional AI import turns a pasted travel note into complete trips for your review, or folds it into an existing trip without duplicates. It runs only when you ask, using your own Google Gemini key.


—— TRAVEL TOGETHER ——

Invite companions to plan with you and friends to follow along. Everyone sees the same trip, and every change reaches the group. Travelers without the app can be added by name, so their share of costs still counts.


—— SPLIT EXPENSES ——

Record expenses in any currency and split them equally, exactly, or by percentage. Personal spending stays separate from shared costs. Attach receipts, see who paid and who owes, then settle up and share the summary.


—— SEE THE WHOLE TRIP ——

Maps show every trip, each day's route, and national park boundaries. Photos are grouped by day. A widget counts down to the next trip and lists today's plans, reminders fire before each one, and the itinerary exports to your calendar.


—— PRIVATE ——

No accounts, no tracking. Trips are stored on your device, sync through your own iCloud when you turn sync on, and back up to a file you keep. TripDays works offline.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-08-15

TripDays 1.5 keeps overnight transit in view and makes shared trips sync more reliably.

• A flight or train that arrives on a later day now appears on every day it covers: "Arrives" on the arrival day, "In transit" in between, and a +1 end-time marker on the departure day
• Fixed a sync issue that could keep a companion's changes from reaching the group
• Photos and receipts missing on a shared trip now re-upload on their own
• Inviting companions shows clearer progress and can be canceled anytime

### 1.4 — 2026-08-08

TripDays 1.4 hands you the map pin, and labels a home base's routes by date.

MAPS
• Remove a plan's map pin when the automatic one landed in the wrong place; it stays off until you rename the place
• On a home base, each day's route is labelled with its date instead of a day number, so the map reads like the calendar
• Route labels now draw above nearby pins instead of behind them

### 1.3 — 2026-08-06

TripDays 1.3 merges whole trips together, adds drag to reorder Resources, and makes shared trips sturdier as travelers come and go.

MERGE TRIPS
• Merge one trip into another, or into a home base: days, plans, photos, receipts, and expenses all move over

RESOURCES
• Drag to reorder a trip's Resources

TRAVEL TOGETHER
• A ghost traveler who joins the trip becomes one person, keeping their plans and expenses
• Removing a companion closes the trip's public link, and the expenses they were part of stay counted

IMPROVEMENTS
• Newer Gemini models by default, and imported plans keep their kinds instead of arriving as notes
• A hotel check-out now starts its day on the timeline
• On Mac, a new Trip menu with keyboard shortcuts, and calendar export opens a save panel

### 1.2 — 2026-08-04

TripDays 1.2 rebuilds the home-base calendar, sharpens pasted links, and lands every drag where you aimed it.

HOME BASES
• The month calendar stays pinned while every day's plans scroll below it as one timeline: drag plans between days, swipe to flip months, tap the month title to jump to any date, and come back with Today

DRAG AND DROP
• Plans, spots, and hotel check-in and check-out banners all land where you drop them, the last position of a day included

SMARTER LINK PASTE
• Google Maps links fill in the place's category and rating and land exact pins, cross-checked against the address so a wrong-city pin is skipped rather than guessed
• A place shared from a device that writes addresses country first takes the place's name, not its country's

IMPROVEMENTS
• An AI note merged into an existing trip keeps every stop under a city heading as its own plan, and one note split into several trips gives each its own destinations
• On Mac, exporting a backup opens the save panel, so backups land right in Finder
• If a trip ever appears twice, a one-tap repair in Settings merges the copies back into one

### 1.1 — 2026-07-30

TripDays 1.1 introduces home bases and polishes planning throughout.

HOME BASES
• Keep the cities you live in alongside your trips. Set move-in and move-out dates ("Now" while you still live there), plan everyday outings on a month calendar, and find them in their own section atop the trips list.

SHARING
• iCloud sync is on from the first launch on new installs, so shared trips work right away (existing installs keep their choice)
• Invite companions from the Travelers screen, with clear guidance when iCloud isn't signed in

IMPROVEMENTS
• Forms ask before discarding unsaved changes
• Drag a check-in or check-out banner to the right spot in its day
• Search results list your newest trips first
• More accurate map pins for pasted links and typed places
• AI note import reads dates more reliably, including year-end trips
• Accessibility improvements throughout, plus day stepping with ⌘ arrow keys on Mac
