## What is Trovelo?

Plan your next trip in minutes.
Trovelo turns your ideas into a beautiful, day-by-day itinerary — with smart budgeting, live maps, and a packing checklist, all in one place.

-- JUST TYPE. TROVELO GETS IT --
Type "ramen at Ichiran 7pm ¥1200" and Trovelo creates the card — time, price, category, and all. Smart Add understands natural language so you never have to fill out a form.
Smart Add requires iPhone 15 Pro or later with iOS 18.1+.

-- BEAUTIFUL TRIPS, DAY BY DAY --
Every trip gets a cover photo, icon, and color. Build your itinerary card by card:
Place · Food · Transport · Stay · Expense · Note
Each card shows the time, photo, description, and cost at a glance. Flight cards keep the details that matter — flight number, terminals, gates, departure and arrival times.

-- SEE YOUR PLANS ON THE MAP --
Drag down to reveal an interactive map with every restaurant, hotel, and landmark plotted automatically. Search for new places and add them to your itinerary in one tap.

-- SMART BUDGETING, ANY CURRENCY --
Track expenses in any currency with daily-updated exchange rates. See your total in your home currency as you go — no mental math, no surprises. When the trip ends, Trip Wrapped shows your full spending breakdown and a shareable summary.

-- YOUR DOCUMENTS, ORGANIZED --
Boarding passes, insurance, tickets, reservations — attach them to the right trip and they're there when you need them, synced privately to all your devices.

-- PACKING CHECKLIST --
Passport, charger, medications — never forget a thing. Built-in packing list for every trip, ready to check off as you go.

-- MAP THE PLACES YOU'VE BEEN --
My Spots turns your travel history into a beautiful map of visited countries and cities. Trovelo can suggest them from your photos by reading only their location tags — entirely on your device, never uploaded.

-- SHARE AND EXPORT --
Share a live, read-only link so your travel buddy always sees the latest version of the plan. Export any trip as a .trovelo file, or send a clean, formatted itinerary summary directly to WhatsApp.

-- HOME SCREEN WIDGET --
Today's plans, your spending, and days until departure — right on your home screen without opening the app.

-- FREE TO START, PAY ONCE FOR PRO --
Plan your first trips free. Trovelo Pro unlocks unlimited trips and cards with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever.

-- PRIVATE BY DESIGN --
No accounts. No Trovelo servers. We collect nothing: no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Your trips sync privately across your Apple devices through your own iCloud — we couldn't read them if we wanted to.
When a feature needs the internet — cover photos, exchange rates, maps, or resolving a link you paste — your device talks directly to that service and sends only the minimum it needs: a place name, a currency code, a link. Never your identity, never your trips.
Your trips. Your data. Always.

Also on Mac: Trovelo for Mac brings your trips to the big screen — and can even connect to Claude to plan trips in plain English.

### 5/5 — Simple but powerful

*2026-08-08, version 6.4*

Great app that keeps improving, super responsive dev.

### 5/5 — Great app with great developer

*2026-08-07, version 6.4*

This app has been so great to plan my upcoming 4 week trip in Asia! I love how I can track all my expenses and mapped plans on one app!  The developer listens to all customer feedback is continuously improving the app experience. Can’t recommend enough.

### 5/5 — Amazing app and most responsive dev ever!

*2026-08-06, version 6.4*

The app has evolved so much from V1, and the developer is an absolute machine. They’re constantly taking feedback and implementing more and more. The fact that it’s one app for iOS, iPad, and Mac access is unheard of these days. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Super useful

*2026-08-06, version 6.4*

Great app to plan, organize, and keep the trip on track

### 5/5 — Just loved it 🌸

*2026-08-04*

Modern Design + Smooth Experience + Easy + Quick Plan + Most Importantly Private = Best in the town ✈️

### 5/5 — Tollstes Reisetool

*2026-07-10*

Unglaublich, wie gut die App ist und die Reiseplanung von A-Z unterstützt und dabei noch Spaß mit dem tollen UI macht. Es gibt ca. wöchentlich Updates und sie wird immer besser. Ganz toll ist auch die Mac App, wo man sogar mit Claude / Codex Trips planen kann!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the great feedback! And also a huge thank you for all your feedback on r/trovelo, and for helping me and the community make this app even better.

### 5/5 — Awesome app for travel planning!

*2026-07-10*

The App (and the developer) are amazing. The app already now gives you all you ever wanted (and never thought of) for planning trips in all details and with a beautiful UI and is improving a few times per week together with the iOS companion app. The new integration for Claude/Codex is fantastic and you can one-shot a whole trip with day plan, must-sees to your liking. Never loved an app like this one!

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2026-07-06, version 5.8*

This seemed like it was going to be a great app but not being able to share it with my travel companion so they can edit means it’s not really useful for me.  It has a lot a great features and if the ability to share/edit becomes available I will give it a try again.

### 5/5 — Une app au top !

*2026-06-30*

Super application regroupant toutes les idées qu’on peut se faire sur une app d’organisation de voyage. Une très belle découverte et un grand bravo au dev !

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour ce super commentaire ! 😊 Ça me fait vraiment plaisir de lire que l'application rassemble tout ce que vous recherchiez pour organiser vos voyages.
Si vous avez des suggestions ou des idées à l'avenir, n'hésitez pas à les partager sur notre communauté r/trovelo. Bon voyage ! 🚀

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 6.5 — 2026-08-15

• Flights with connections are now a single card, showing each leg and the layover between them.
• New Traveler Ranks in My Spots: 13 medals you unlock as you mark countries, with a celebration each time you rank up.
• Every new trip now starts and ends at your front door — set your Home Base in Settings.
• Redesigned Settings: half the sections, with Maps, Transport and Daily pace together in one place.
• You can now turn off the automatic photo search for cards in Settings.
• The Pro screen now shows what you unlock instead of just describing it.
• Much smoother scrolling on large trips — no more stutter moving through your days.
• Backups now keep every flight detail, connections included.
• My Spots shows your first medal and your stats before you mark your first country.
• Text and translation fixes across all 8 languages.

### 6.4 — 2026-08-05

• Eight languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
• Type a card in any of them and the time, the price and the type are picked up for you.
• The currency you type stays yours (¥, €, ₩), converted to the trip's.
• "Per person" prices multiply by the right number of people.
• Itinerary times no longer drift across time zones.
• Travel times read in hours and days, not just minutes.
• Paste coordinates into place search and the pin lands exactly there.
• Flights get a booking or check-in link; any website opens with one tap.
• Past trips can now be created and edited.
• Better flight arcs, a smarter countdown, and fixes to stays, covers and the map.

### 6.3 — 2026-07-22

• Flights can now carry a booking or check-in link — add it in Flight Details and open it with one tap.
• Website fields across the app got an open-link arrow, so you can jump to a card's site right from the editor.

### 6.2 — 2026-07-21

Your itinerary times now stay put — no matter where you are.

• Fixed times drifting across time zones. If you set dinner at 10:00 PM, it
  stays 10:00 PM whether you're home or already at your destination.
• Set a default way to get around for each trip — public transport, walking,
  or driving — instead of changing every leg by hand. Set it once in the
  trip's settings (and app-wide in Settings).
• Longer travel times now read as hours and days ("15 h 5 min", "1 d 2 h")
  instead of a giant minute count.
• Bug fix - Smarter trip dates: typing something like "Aug 1 to Aug 4" now creates the
  right dates instead of a full week.

Thanks for using Trovelo! Keep the feedback coming.

### 6.1 — 2026-07-15

* Route optimization based on your location.
* Improvements to the Documents section.
* Performance improvements and bug fixes.
