MyTripReady is the travel-readiness app that answers one simple question: "is everything ready for boarding?" When you create a trip, the app automatically builds a personalized checklist for each traveler, based on the actual itinerary — countries visited, connections and zone changes — and on each person's profile (nationality, age, documents they already have). NEVER FORGET A DOCUMENT • Automatic checklist per traveler: ID, passport, visas, vaccines and travel authorizations for minors • Alerts for documents about to expire • Rules checked against official sources (immigration authorities, regulatory agencies) • Dashboard showing what's left and what blocks boarding, by traveler or by family SEND A PHOTO, THE APP READS IT FOR YOU • Snap a photo or upload the PDF of a booking and AI fills in the details automatically • All your family's documents stored in one place • Less typing, fewer mistakes PLAN THE TRIP DAY BY DAY • Itinerary with every leg, flight, stay and tour on one timeline • Export the whole itinerary to your phone's calendar, in each place's local time • "Good to know" for each destination: plug type and voltage, tipping customs and emergency numbers • Packing list with suggestions based on the destination's weather HOW MUCH TO BRING AND HOW MUCH YOU SPEND (PREMIUM) • AI estimates how much money to bring for each city, in your travel style, with local tips • Amounts in each destination's currency, converted to Brazilian reais • Expense tracking: log by typing or by voice and see trip totals and totals by category THE WHOLE FAMILY, ONE DASHBOARD • Share the trip with other families using an invite code • Each family keeps its own documents and checklist private • Share your trip progress with an image ready for the family group chat WORKS ON PHONE AND TABLET • On iPad and tablets, multi-column screens and a side menu make the most of the big screen FREE TO START, NO SUBSCRIPTION • Your first trip is free • Extra trips can be bought one at a time • Premium, a one-time purchase: unlimited trips, no ads and expense tracking MyTripReady organizes your preparation — but official entry requirements change often.
