Plan a trip the way you actually plan one. Wandry collects the places you want to see, lets you sort them by day, shows everything on a map, and disappears the rest of the time. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. START WITH AN IDEA, NOT A BLANK PAGE Pick a destination and the things you actually like — landmarks, food, museums, the outdoors, beaches, family time, shopping, nightlife — and Wandry puts together a first draft from real places. On iOS 26+ that draft is generated by Apple's on-device intelligence; older iPhones do the same with a curated Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap fallback. Either way, you start from a real plan, not an empty list. If you'd rather start from scratch, there are 50 hand-built templates — Tokyo, Tuscany, Bali, Banff, Patagonia and so on — to adopt or remix. Or paste a link, drop a pin, or import a few geotagged photos and we'll get them onto the map. Once you have a day, drag spots to reorder, swipe to mark a visited one, long-press to move it to another day. Tap Optimize and Wandry re-sorts the day into a faster route. There's no busywork. EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR TRIP, IN ONE PLACE A daily timeline with travel times between stops. Every place of every trip on one map. Bookings — flights, hotels, cars, trains, buses, ferries, activities, restaurants — with confirmation numbers, dates and PDFs you can pull up at the gate. A budget that handles 158 currencies, scans receipts on-device, and splits costs with the people you're travelling with. Packing lists for the beach, hiking, business, winter or carry-on. Travel documents — passports, visas, tickets, insurance — with the right checklist for the kind of trip you're taking. A journal with mood, weather, photos and notes you'll actually look back on. And a city guide for every trip, drawn from Wikivoyage, with audio you can listen to while you walk. ON THE ROAD Live Activities and the Dynamic Island show your next stop at a glance. Widgets put today's plan and your next trip on the home screen. Apple Watch shows the day's plan and one-tap directions in Apple Maps. Siri shortcuts for "new trip", "today's plan" and "convert currency". A Share extension saves an address from Safari, Maps or Messages straight into a trip. Spotlight finds any place from the home screen. A FEW EXTRAS A live currency converter, world clock, sunrise and sunset times, a tip calculator, a map of the countries you've been to, and a daily weather forecast for every place on the plan. WORKS ON A PLANE Once your trip is built, you can read and edit it with no signal — the itinerary, the map of saved places, bookings, expenses, packing, journal. The internet is only needed when you fetch fresh content: a new place from Maps search, Discover Nearby, the city guide, weather, exchange rates. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Wandry doesn't run a server. There's nothing to sign up for and nothing to log into. Your trips stay on your device unless you choose to export one as a single .tripplan file and share it with a friend over AirDrop or Messages. Available in 39 App Store languages. WANDRY PREMIUM Wandry is free, with all the core planning tools. Premium adds unlimited trips, the AI Itinerary Wizard, offline maps, route optimization, bill splitting, audio city guides, and PDF & web export. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription (with a free trial) or a one-time Lifetime purchase — prices are shown in the app. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; a subscription renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage it in your Apple Account settings.
