Plans
What you can do without an account, and what each plan unlocks.
You can start planning immediately without signing up. Create an account for persistent storage, safety features, and the full experience.
Without an account (guest mode)
Guest mode lets you try the core planning features — no registration, no email address required. Some features are limited or disabled (gear vault, saving, sharing, safety, collaboration). You can:
- Build a gear list with items, weights, and categories
- Build a trip itinerary with daily stages and waypoints
- Upload a GPX file and view your route on the map
Guest data is stored in your browser only. Clearing your browser data or switching devices will delete your plan. Create an account to save everything to your profile.
If you create an account after using guest mode, your trip itinerary and gear list are migrated automatically. GPX route data and precise waypoint coordinates are stored in browser memory only and will not carry over.
Account types
Free
Creating a free account is quick and costs nothing. It unlocks persistent storage and the full feature set:
- Everything saved to your profile, accessible from any device
- Gear vault — build a reusable library of items to pull into any trip
- Collaborative editing — share a read-only or co-edit link with anyone, no account needed on their side
- Safety system — emergency contacts, Safety QR, GPS capture, and trip-end overdue alerts
Free accounts have storage limits: up to 10 trips and 10 gear lists.
Pro
Pro has two differences from Free:
- No storage limits — unlimited trips, gear lists, and vault items
- Safety Timer — automatic overdue alert if you do not complete a day within your chosen window (24, 36, 48, or 72 hours). The timer resets each time you mark a day complete, not just at your trip end date, making it far more precise for multi-week trips
