Every part of a trip lives in one app: the places you want to see, the plan for each day, every flight, train and ferry, how you'll get between stops, what to pack, and who paid for what. It works on iPhone, iPad and Mac. YOUR WHOLE TRIP, DAY BY DAY • A timeline for every day: where you're sleeping, how you're getting there, what's booked and what's still open • Weather for each day at each stop, with hourly forecasts • A trip assistant that spots what's missing, like a night with no hotel or a connection with no plan, and asks one clear question at a time • To-dos before you leave and on the day they're due • Summarize any day: a brief of what's coming before it, a journal of how it went after EVERY FLIGHT, TRAIN AND TRANSFER • Flights, trains, buses, ferries, cable cars and drives, leg by leg, with local times at both ends • Layovers and connections worked out, and gaps in your route flagged before you travel • Flight numbers, terminals, gates and confirmation codes in one place • A Live Activity keeps each trip day on the Lock Screen, always on what's next • Pick a train straight from the Apple Maps timetable FIND AND SAVE PLACES • Search Apple Maps and save restaurants, sights, hikes and hotels to your trip • Favorite places you return to and choose them quickly when starting another trip • Look Around, details and directions for every saved place • Every stop and saved place on one map, grouped by where you're staying • Keep ideas unplanned until you're ready, then give them a day PLAN HOW YOU'LL GET AROUND • See each day's route with walking, driving and public transport times between stops • Reorder a day's stops into the shortest route • Open any leg in Apple Maps for turn-by-turn directions PACKING THAT LEARNS • A packing library that remembers what you own and how many you usually bring • Suggestions from the forecast, the destination, the kind of trip and who's coming, kids included • Set up your family once: children's profiles and packing follow them onto every trip • Lists sorted the way you pack, with progress as you go SHARED EXPENSES, SETTLED FAIRLY • Log expenses in any currency and photograph receipts • Split equally, by exact amounts, percentages or shares, or item by item from a receipt with tax and tip shared out • Running balances for everyone, and the fewest payments needed to settle up • Group the people who pay together into households, and settle up between them • Estimate costs before you go and see where the money went • Export expenses to a spreadsheet BRING IT IN, DON'T TYPE IT • Paste a booking confirmation, pick a screenshot, photograph a ticket or just say what you've planned, and Apple Intelligence reads it into your trip • Review everything before it's added TRAVEL TOGETHER • Share a trip through iCloud; everyone sees the same plan and can add to it • Personal packing items and receipt photos stay private to you • Syncs across iPhone, iPad and Mac • Siri and Shortcuts can log an expense, save a place, set a day's plan or start a travel day PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts, no ads, no tracking • Your trips live on your devices and in your own iCloud • Apple Intelligence works on your device by default • If you turn on Private Cloud Compute, Apple's larger model can read whole trips and documents for the assistant, overviews, day summaries and imports; the data is not stored or accessible to Apple Without iCloud, your trips stay on your device; sign in to sync and share them.
