Plan it. Share it. Remember it. Venturely is your private, beautifully organised space for every shared experience — trips, events, gatherings, sporting days, and more. From the first plan to the last photo, everything lives in one place, shared only with the people you choose. WHETHER YOU'RE AN ORGANISER OR A GUEST Create an Experience and you're the owner — in full control of who joins and what they can see. Share it with others via a secure invitation linked to their Apple ID, then set their permissions individually across every area of the app. Participants get exactly what they need, nothing more. WHAT'S INSIDE EVERY EXPERIENCE - Day-by-day Timeline: plan activities, locations, and notes for each day of your experience - People: see all participants and manage invitations - Shared Documents: attach itineraries, tickets, and files for everyone — or assign specific documents to individual participants (like a personal admission ticket) - Photos & Albums: create themed albums and invite everyone to contribute their moments to view in a carousel view - Discussions: start topics, add comments, and keep all conversation connected to the experience - Shared Expense tracker allows all to capture and split expense with a subset of participants (equally, by percentage or custom amounts). With real-time balance and a "Suggest" function for the most efficient way to settle-up between participants YOUR PRIVATE VAULT Every user has their own secure document vault — completely private, never visible to anyone else. Store travel documents, booking confirmations, personal tickets, insurance documents — anything you need always at hand, always yours alone. BUILT ON APPLE SECURITY Venturely uses Apple's Cloud technology. Your data lives in your own private iCloud storage — not on our servers. Experiences are shared only with express permission through Apple's secure invitation system. Nobody else can see your data. WORKS EVERYWHERE, EVEN OFFLINE Full access to your experiences without a mobile connection. Changes sync automatically when you're back online. Use Venturely across your Apple devices — updates appear in near real-time. PERFECT FOR - Families coordinating holidays, weekends away, or special occasions - Travel agents and tour operators managing group itineraries - Sports and adventure groups planning ski trips, cycling tours, events or training camps - Conference and event organisers sharing schedules and documents with attendees - Anyone who wants their shared plans beautifully organised in one private place PRICING Venturely is free for personal use. A Family plan is available for groups who want to share experiences — free until September 2026 as an introductory offer. A Professional Agent plan for large group management is coming soon. PRIVACY No analytics. No advertising. No data ever leaves your private iCloud account without your permission. Full details at rsdh.net/privacy
