Read full description

Maple is the ultimate collaborative travel planner. It takes your messy group chats, confirmation emails, and random notes, and organizes them all onto a live, interactive map that syncs in real-time with your friends. PLANNING, AS IT SHOULD BE Stop planning in lists. Every hotel, restaurant, and sightseeing spot becomes a pin on your map, making it instantly obvious what’s close together and what’s way across town. Tap a pin for details, or swipe up for your day-by-day itinerary. EVERYTHING, ALL IN ONE PLACE Keep your flights, hotels, tickets, and documents organized. Add them manually, or use the share extension from other apps. You can also write rich-text notes for packing lists and view everything on a built-in calendar so you never accidentally double-book an afternoon. GO, AS A GROUP Invite your friends and plan together. The map updates live for everyone—add a restaurant while you're boarding your flight, and it’s on your friend's phone by the time they land. There are no accounts to create, it syncs securely over iCloud, and an activity log shows exactly who added what. LEVEL UP YOUR PLANNING WITH PREMIUM The free version includes unlimited trips, mapping, notes, calendars, and sharing. Maple Premium adds the smart features that do the heavy lifting for you: - Social Imports: Drop in a link from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or Google Maps, and Maple automatically pulls the locations straight onto your map. - Smart Tickets: Scan booking PDFs to instantly generate rich itinerary cards complete with dates and confirmation numbers. - Email Forwarding: Send confirmation emails to a private trip address, and they’ll auto-populate in the app. - Public Transit: Compare public transport times right alongside walking and driving estimates. - Multiplayer Perks: If one person unlocks Premium for a trip, every collaborator gets the premium features for free.

Every flight has a view. Raylie tells you what yours will be — and which side of the plane to sit on. Add a boarding pass and Raylie builds a timeline of the flight: sunrise over the Pacific, moonrise two hours in, the aurora belt off the left wing, a canyon passing below. Every event says when it happens and which window to look out of. WHAT IS WAITING OUTSIDE • Sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset, in the order you will see them • Left side or right side, so you know which seat to pick and where to look • Aurora, when your route crosses the belt • Landmarks and cities you pass over, with the time you reach them A REAL EARTH, NOT A MAP Raylie draws the planet as it is right now. Real cloud cover, the day-night line where it actually falls, city lights after dark, the aurora as it stands tonight. Your route arcs across it, and you can spin the globe to any point on your flight. YOUR FLIGHTS, KEPT • Add a flight from a boarding pass, Wallet, your calendar, a photo, a file, or a link • A Live Activity on the Lock Screen while you are in the air • Attach the photos you took, and every trip becomes a page worth coming back to DISCOVER Search for a place and find the flights that pass near it.
