Get organised in a few steps

  1. 1

    Add or edit a day

    To create a day, tap the plus beside the dates. To change a saved day, select its date, open the three-dot menu beside its location and choose Edit. Set the date, destination, location and description, then tap Save day. The screenshot reopens the existing departure day on 4 October.

  2. 2

    Select the day to plan

    Tap the date you want to work on. The example with three activities belongs to 3 October and is separate from the departure day on 4 October.

  3. 3

    Add or edit an activity

    Tap Add item, enter a title, choose the type and add start and end times and notes. Tap a saved activity to edit it. The example sets Nature museum to 15:00–16:30. Tap Save activity.

  4. 4

    Check the order

    Open the three-dot menu beside an activity. Use Move up or Move down to place it where it belongs. Check the times, breaks and notes in the saved day plan.

What helps along the way

The essentials at a glance

Part 01

Each trip day has a date, destination and optional location details.

Part 02

Activities can include start and end times and notes.

Part 03

The item menu lets you change the order of activities.

If something looks wrong

An activity appears in the wrong place despite its time.

Open its action menu and use Move up or Move down. The manual order is independent of the start and end times.

Less coordination, a clearer view

Bring your family plans together.
