Itero: Trip & Visit Planner

Someone's coming to stay, and you already know everywhere you'd take them. What you've never had is the order: which day, roughly what time, and how long it takes to get from one place to the next.

That's the part Itero does. Save the places you always show people once, start each new visit from that list, and Itero shapes it into days you can share or keep for yourself.

It's built for the person who already lives there, and it plans your own trips the same way. Going somewhere you don't know yet? Itero can start the list for you with the best-known museums, parks, and places to eat.

HOW IT WORKS

• Issue a pass. Name the visitors your hosting or your own destination, pick the days, and choose how you'll get around. The app works out travel estimates for you. • Build the manifest. Paste an Apple Maps or Google Maps link, or type a name. Anything the map has never heard of, like an event or a friend's place, you can enter manually. Mark the ones you'd be sad to miss as Must do. • Pin spots that have a specific time. Hold a dinner at its booked time, pin a museum to Saturday, or keep a park to the morning. Pinned places go in first, and Itero fits everything else around them. • Itero even brings in links directly into the details of a place so you can easily book a reservation or grab tickets. • Plan. Itero orders each day by what's close together and builds it around your bookings and meal times. Swap any stop, or drag to reorder, and the times and travel legs recalculate. • Share it! Multiple layouts, from a full pass with a map to a 9:16 story card with a photograph on it. Save one to your photos, send a single day, or share the whole trip as a link to save in Itero. Perfect for social media!

WHAT MAKES THE DAYS FIT

• A real forecast, and an honest one. Days inside the forecast window carry the actual weather. Further out, Itero shows a ten-year average, says that's what it is, and never rearranges anything on the strength of it. • Rain moves things early, never late. More than a week out, an outdoor place leaves any day where rain is genuinely likely, unless it's booked for that day. In the final week the plan holds still, because by then you've told people what's happening, and if a day shows rain is likely the app will let you know if you should consider moving it. • Free time you can block out, so the plan works around the afternoon you're keeping free to bop around or just chill. • Say your visitors are vegan or vegetarian, and when Itero looks up meals for the pass it shows restaurants that consider themselves friendly to that diet. • Real travel times brought in from Apple Maps helps you plan out the time it will take to get from place to place. The information is always kept private on your device.

ON YOUR HOME AND LOCK SCREEN

Five widgets: the next stop, today's sheet, the whole day, a now-and-next card with a button that closes out a stop and re-times the rest, and a lock-screen set. Between visits, they count down to the next one.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO

No account and no sign-in. No feed, no streaks, no notifications, no ads, and no subscription.

Your passes, places, and notes are kept in one file on your iPhone or iPad, and they stay there unless you share a pass. Itero talks to Apple Maps to find places and time the trips between them, to a free weather service for the forecast, to a venue’s own website for a photograph or booking link, to Wikipedia for a photograph, to iCloud for Itero’s own photos and any pass you share, and to any map link you paste, to read the place. It talks to nothing else.

ON IPHONE DUO!

Closed, the tabs sit in the side column. Opened flat, a pass spreads across both pages: the day on the left, and on the right a map that follows along and zooms in on any place you open. Visits opens out too, with the selected pass and its places beside the list.
