GuidePal is a local friend everywhere you go. Tell it what you want, forward the confirmation email, and let it sort out the rest — then wake up knowing exactly what today looks like. JUST ASK Talk to GuidePal like a person. "Find me a cozy coffee place." "What's worth doing this afternoon?" It knows where you are and what you've planned, and answers out loud or in chat — no endless scrolling, no seventeen open tabs. EVERY MORNING, ALREADY BRIEFED Each morning GuidePal reads your itinerary, checks the weather and skims the local news, then tells you how today will go — in a few lines, or a 40-second listen. EVERY DETAIL. ONE JOURNEY. Say "a long weekend in Stockholm with my kids" and GuidePal drafts the itinerary. Every day, every stay, every flight — on one timeline and one map, with a checklist and notes for everything else. BOOKINGS, WITHOUT THE BOOKING BRAIN Upload a confirmation or drop a PDF into chat. GuidePal reads the fine print, shows you what it will add, and files flights, hotels and car rentals into the right trip. Your tickets live in Trip Docs, ready when the gate agent asks. PLACES WORTH STOPPING FOR Nearby picks based on the time, the weather and your plans. Swipe through photos, ratings and opening hours, get directions in one tap, and save anything that catches your eye. KEEP WHAT YOU LOVE Every place you save turns into your own atlas, grouped by city — there next time you're nearby. No spreadsheet required. GUIDEPAL PRO Some features need a GuidePal Pro subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
