Everything you need to get the most out of TripTin.
TripTin is a trip planning app that keeps your entire itinerary organized in one place. It's available on iOS, Android, and the web — your data syncs across all your devices in real time.
The app is organized around three main areas: Trips (your list of planned journeys), the Calendar (a monthly overview), and Explore (search and book travel).
Note: TripTin is in closed beta. Only invited testers can sign in today (via email + password). The sign-in methods below describe the full set that will be available at public launch.
TripTin supports three sign-in methods:
On the sign-in screen, tap Forgot password? and enter your email address. You'll receive a reset link within a few minutes.
Tap the Plan a Trip button on the Trips screen to create a new trip. You'll need to give it a name and set start and end dates. You can also optionally set a home origin for the trip.
Trip dates define the overall span of your journey. Destination and entry dates must fall within the trip dates — TripTin will warn you if something falls outside.
The Trips screen shows three tabs: My Trips, Shared With Me, and Past.
When another TripTin user shares a trip with you, it appears on the Shared With Me tab along with the sharer's name and your role (View only or Editor).
Open the Trip Detail screen, tap the trash icon in the top-right corner, and confirm. Deleting a trip permanently removes all its destinations and entries.
A trip is made up of one or more destinations — each representing a city or location you'll visit. Add a destination by tapping Add on the Trip Detail screen.
Each destination has its own date range (which must fall within the trip's date range). Destinations display in date order on the trip detail screen.
On the Trip Detail screen, press and hold a destination card to drag it to a new position in your itinerary.
Tap any destination card to open its detail view. This is where you'll build out the itinerary for that stop — flights, trains, transfers, hotels, car rentals, activities, and everything else.
The destination screen is split into four sections:
Tap any entry card to open its detail screen, or use the Add button inside each section to create a new entry of that type.
Add a flight entry under the Getting There section of any destination. You'll record:
Log where you're staying under the Stay section. For each accommodation you can record:
The Getting There section covers transport that brings you to a destination — from long-haul flights all the way to the last-mile ride from the train station to your hotel.
Add train journeys with operator, train number, departure and arrival stations, dates, times, and your booking reference. Both inter-city trains (like a Eurostar that gets you to the city) and regional trains (like a local service between two destinations) live here.
Hired rides with a driver — taxi, Uber, Lyft, boat taxi, airport shuttle. Best for the last-mile leg from an airport or train station to your accommodation. Add the pickup location and time; dropoff and confirmation code are optional so you can save a transfer as a plan before you've actually booked the ride.
Airport express buses and scheduled airport shuttles can be logged as bus tickets in Getting There. General city transit passes stay under Getting Around (see the next section).
The Around section covers local transport once you've arrived — car rentals, scooters, transit passes, and on-demand taxis.
Record the rental company, pickup and drop-off locations, dates, times, and confirmation number. Use the location search to auto-fill the address. Vehicle class (Economy, SUV, Compact, etc.) is optional but helps when the itinerary later surfaces suggestions by vehicle type.
Renting a Vespa in Rome or a scooter in Bali? Use Add Scooter Rental from the Getting Around menu. The scooter form is a simplified car-rental form — pickup, dropoff, dates, times, company, insurance — without vehicle-class clutter that doesn't apply to two-wheelers.
Log metro cards, Oyster cards, rail passes, and similar — with validity dates and coverage notes. For airport express buses and scheduled shuttles, log those as bus tickets in Getting There instead.
A taxi to dinner, a boat taxi across the lagoon, a shuttle from the hotel — log any hired ride with a driver as a Transfer under Getting Around. Same form as the Getting There version. (See the Transfers section for details.)
Add tours, attractions, restaurants, events, and any other planned experience under Activities. Each activity has a name, location, date and time, and optional notes and booking reference. Each activity type has its own icon on timelines and cards so entries are visually distinct at a glance.
Pick the type that best fits when adding an activity:
A Transfer is a hired point-to-point ride with a driver — taxi, Uber, Lyft, boat taxi, airport shuttle, limo. Use transfers for the last-mile journeys that don't fit under flights, trains, or car rentals.
Transfers come in four modes, each with its own icon:
You don't need a confirmation code to log a transfer. Most rides are ordered on the fly (like an Uber after landing), and TripTin lets you save a transfer as a plan with just the pickup location and time. When you actually book, come back and fill in the confirmation code, price, and driver contact details.
A transfer can sit in either section depending on what it's for: getting you to a destination (airport → hotel) is Getting There; moving you within a destination (hotel → dinner) is Getting Around.
Have a restaurant you want to try or a museum to potentially visit? Add it as a Suggestion — a lightweight wish-list entry that doesn't commit to a specific time.
When you're ready to confirm the plan, tap Convert to Entry on the suggestion detail screen to turn it into a full activity or another entry type.
The three-dot button in the top-right corner of the Trip Detail screen opens a menu with actions that apply to the whole trip:
The Timeline view stitches every entry across every destination into a single chronological list, grouped by day. Flights, trains, transfers, check-ins, check-outs, and activities all appear in the exact order they'll happen.
You can share any trip you own with other TripTin users. Open the Trip Detail screen, tap the three-dot menu, and choose Share. Enter the person's email address and pick their role:
The Share confirmation codes toggle controls whether the collaborator can see booking and reservation codes for flights, hotels, and activities — leave it off if you'd rather keep those private.
Flyover generates a 3D Google Earth tour of your trip, flying between each destination in order. Tap Flyover in the three-dot menu and TripTin will build a KML file you can open directly in the Google Earth app (free on iOS, Android, and the web).
Map View opens a 2D Google Map with a pin for every destination plus coloured pins for every entry that has a location — flight airports, hotels, car rental pickups, activity venues, and more. A dashed line traces your route between destinations so you can see the shape of the trip at a glance.
The map auto-zooms to fit your destinations. Pinch to zoom and drag to pan if you want a closer look at any particular leg.
The Calendar tab shows all your trips and entries in a monthly calendar view. Tap any day to jump straight to the itinerary for that date — useful when you want a bird's-eye view of what's coming up or quickly find "what am I doing next Tuesday?"
