TripDay

Before you leave, use Bookings, Budget, and Checklists to organize flights, hotels, transport, and costs. These are real commitments with real consequences if forgotten.

Once the trip starts, reality takes over. Day Cards, Expenses, Places, Links, and Journal entries capture what actually happened — not just what was planned.

After the trip, the memories remain. TripDay is designed to help you rediscover them privately, on your own terms, long after you return.

Saves everything — all trips, all journal entries, all settings. Use this when switching devices or as a regular safety copy.

Saves one trip. Useful for archiving a specific journey. Does not include your journal.

No. When TripDay updates, only the app code changes. Your trips and journal are stored locally on your device and are never touched by updates. Your data stays safe as long as you use the same device, the same browser, and do not clear site data. Still, create backups regularly — local browser data can be lost if you clear site data, replace your phone, or if the device has storage problems.

Backup all data includes everything — trips and journal. Backup this trip only saves one trip and does not include your journal. For safety, always use Backup all data.

Yes. Planning, journaling, expense tracking, and navigation all work fully offline. Live currency rates need a brief connection to update, but your last known rates are always available. You can board a plane, open TripDay, and keep writing.

TripDay is a Progressive Web App — no App Store needed. On iPhone: tap Share in Safari → Add to Home Screen. On Android: tap the browser menu → Install App. Once installed, TripDay opens full screen and works offline.

tripday.ca is TripDay's public information page. The actual app — where your trips, bookings, and journal live — is at app.tripday.ca. If you bookmarked or installed TripDay before, make sure you're using app.tripday.ca going forward.

Use your browser's print function (Ctrl+P on desktop, Share → Print on iPhone). TripDay reformats your timeline for clean printing — useful for immigration forms or offline backups.

• Manually mark a trip as Dreaming, Taking shape, Mostly settled, or Ready
• The choice is optional, reversible, and planning-only — it does not create Trip Activity entries
• Trip Readiness is preserved through backup and restore, and when a trip is duplicated from its Trip Menu

• Promote an Idea into a selected itinerary destination and day, copying its title, notes, and safe research links without overwriting existing itinerary content
• The selected day's mounted Plan place and link views refresh immediately after promotion
• Promotion History stays append-only, and duplicate promotion is blocked until the item is reopened
• Reopen in Ideas is non-destructive: existing itinerary places and copied links remain, and editing and promoting again creates another independent itinerary copy
• Promote and Reopen actions are recorded in Trip Activity
• Planning disclosures and cards are keyboard-reachable; Enter and Space activate once, held keys do not repeat activation, and every Space keydown prevents scrolling
• Promoted titles and safe-link labels wrap at 320px, and Reopen has an accessible name and explanation

• A new Ideas tab captures and edits trip possibilities, organized as Shortlisted, Ideas, and Revisit later with movement among all three states
• Research links are rendered safely, and Archive, Restore, Undo, and the Ideas counter keep the workspace manageable
• Full and single-trip backups preserve Planning data, which remains covered by Privacy Lock
• Added to itinerary displays compatible promoted records read-only; Phase 1 does not create or reopen promotions
• Unsaved title and notes drafts stay visible until you explicitly Save or Cancel

• Device and browser Back now move through TripDay's internal screens before leaving the app
• Journal entries return to the Journal list, then Home
• Back closes open dialogs, sheets, menus, Quick Actions, and expanded Journal editing before leaving their parent screen
• Browser Forward safely restores valid Trip and Journal views where possible
• Privacy Lock remains in control while the app is covered, and the preserved screen returns safely after unlock

• Needs Attention quietly surfaces unresolved booking conflicts, overlapping hotel stays, trip-date and Day Card mismatches, and critical data-safety conditions
• Mark intentional and Keep as is remember your choice until the underlying booking or trip dates change
• Trip Activity records meaningful booking, date, Day Card, and resolution changes for each trip
• Confirmation-code values and booking Notes are never stored in activity history
• Full and single-trip backups preserve your choices and Trip Activity history

• Optional 4–6 digit PIN for casual privacy
• Lock automatically immediately or after 1, 5, or 15 minutes
• Privacy curtain covers TripDay when the app is backgrounded
• Lock Now, Change PIN, and Turn Off controls
• Lock settings stay on this device and are excluded from backups
• Existing trip, Journal, backup, and restore formats are unchanged
• No schema or backup-format changes

• The calculator now keeps the finished sum visible after you press equals — "40% of 300" stays above "= 120", so the result keeps its context
• This is not a saved history: calculations are still never stored, and typing the next number simply starts fresh
• "Use result in Expense" still transfers just the number — you review and save it yourself
• Two technical phrases became plain language: your trips stay on your device, no account, works offline
• No trip-data, backup, or storage format changes

• The built-in travel calculator covers everyday trip math, including "15% of 800", "add 12%", and "take off 20%"
• One tap moves a calculator result straight into Log Expense — you still review and save it yourself
• Calculations are never saved, and nothing new is stored — no account, no cloud, and no change to backups or your trip data

• The bottom tabs now respond on the first tap, across the whole button — an invisible leftover message bubble was quietly swallowing taps on Plan and Journal
• The highlighted bottom tab always matches the screen you're looking at, including when you arrive from the dashboard shortcuts
• On Android, "Share backup" now opens the real share sheet. The shared file is plain text and restores exactly like a normal backup; the regular download backup is unchanged
• The countdown card now shows which trip it's counting down to — flag and name, right on the card
• No data, schema, backup-format, or restore changes

• New "Share backup" option sends a full backup straight to Files, iCloud Drive, email, or a messaging app — shown only on devices that support it. The regular download backup is unchanged.
