Plan your next trip in minutes. Trovelo turns your ideas into a beautiful, day-by-day itinerary — with smart budgeting, live maps, and a packing checklist, all in one place. -- JUST TYPE. TROVELO GETS IT -- Type "ramen at Ichiran 7pm ¥1200" and Trovelo creates the card — time, price, category, and all. Smart Add understands natural language so you never have to fill out a form. Smart Add requires iPhone 15 Pro or later with iOS 18.1+. -- BEAUTIFUL TRIPS, DAY BY DAY -- Every trip gets a cover photo, icon, and color. Build your itinerary card by card: Place · Food · Transport · Stay · Expense · Note Each card shows the time, photo, description, and cost at a glance. Flight cards keep the details that matter — flight number, terminals, gates, departure and arrival times. -- SEE YOUR PLANS ON THE MAP -- Drag down to reveal an interactive map with every restaurant, hotel, and landmark plotted automatically. Search for new places and add them to your itinerary in one tap. -- SMART BUDGETING, ANY CURRENCY -- Track expenses in any currency with daily-updated exchange rates. See your total in your home currency as you go — no mental math, no surprises. When the trip ends, Trip Wrapped shows your full spending breakdown and a shareable summary. -- YOUR DOCUMENTS, ORGANIZED -- Boarding passes, insurance, tickets, reservations — attach them to the right trip and they're there when you need them, synced privately to all your devices. -- PACKING CHECKLIST -- Passport, charger, medications — never forget a thing. Built-in packing list for every trip, ready to check off as you go. -- MAP THE PLACES YOU'VE BEEN -- My Spots turns your travel history into a beautiful map of visited countries and cities. Trovelo can suggest them from your photos by reading only their location tags — entirely on your device, never uploaded. -- SHARE AND EXPORT -- Share a live, read-only link so your travel buddy always sees the latest version of the plan. Export any trip as a .trovelo file, or send a clean, formatted itinerary summary directly to WhatsApp. -- HOME SCREEN WIDGET -- Today's plans, your spending, and days until departure — right on your home screen without opening the app. -- FREE TO START, PAY ONCE FOR PRO -- Plan your first trips free. Trovelo Pro unlocks unlimited trips and cards with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever. -- PRIVATE BY DESIGN -- No accounts. No Trovelo servers. We collect nothing: no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Your trips sync privately across your Apple devices through your own iCloud — we couldn't read them if we wanted to. When a feature needs the internet — cover photos, exchange rates, maps, or resolving a link you paste — your device talks directly to that service and sends only the minimum it needs: a place name, a currency code, a link. Never your identity, never your trips. Your trips. Your data. Always. Also on Mac: Trovelo for Mac brings your trips to the big screen — and can even connect to Claude to plan trips in plain English.
