TripCache keeps the trips you've already booked in one clear itinerary: flights, hotels, rental cars, trains, tours and restaurants, together with the cancellation deadlines and travel documents that go with them. GET REMINDED BEFORE FREE CANCELLATION ENDS Save a booking's cancellation deadline and choose a reminder 7 days, 2 days, 1 day or on the day. Included free. FORWARD BOOKING EMAILS (PRO) Send confirmations to your personal TripCache address. TripCache reads the email, attached PDFs and screenshots, and drafts the booking for you to check before it's saved, including the free-cancellation date when the confirmation has one. ONE TRIP ITINERARY FOR EVERY BOOKING Flights, stays, rental cars, trains, buses, ferries, parking, events, tours, restaurants, meetings and notes on one timeline. See the trip on a map and add it to your calendar in the right time zones. LIVE FLIGHT TRACKER (PRO) Alerts for delays, gate and terminal changes, departures, arrivals and baggage belts, plus a Live Activity, Dynamic Island and Home Screen widgets. Coverage depends on the airline and flight-data provider. CHECK-IN REMINDERS A heads-up 48 hours before departure and an alert when online check-in usually opens, with your booking reference ready to copy. SCAN A BOARDING PASS Scan the barcode on a boarding pass to add or update the flight in seconds. TRAVEL DOCUMENT WALLET Keep passports, visas, insurance, tickets and boarding passes with the trip. Lock them with a PIN or Face ID and open them offline. TRAVEL BUDGET AND EXPENSES Record expenses in more than 150 currencies with the exchange rate saved at the time, set budgets by category and see what the trip really cost. TRAVEL HISTORY AND VISA EXPORT Browse past trips and the countries you've visited. Export your travel history, a visa/immigration summary or an expense report as CSV or PDF, and import past flights from a spreadsheet. WORKS OFFLINE Trips, flights and saved documents stay on your phone. Changes sync when you're back online. TRIPCACHE BASIC AND PRO Basic is free: manual trips with every booking type, cancellation and check-in reminders, the document wallet, boarding-pass scan, budgets, exports and offline access. Pro adds booking-email import and live flight tracking with alerts, Live Activities and widgets. Flight data and alert availability vary by airline, route and region.
