The itinerary is a map, not a list
Days are built out of real places with real routes between them. Drag a stop to Tuesday and the drive times, opening hours and daylight all update around it. A hike can be the plan itself: import the GPX track and it lays onto the day like any other stop, with an honest duration estimate.
Everything else stays attached to the trip
The things that usually scatter across six apps live on the trip they belong to.
- Notes with links, folders and templates, next to the days they describe
- Budget with automatic cost estimates per stop (Pro, $4.99 a month)
- Receipts and the running split between travel companions
- A packing list generated from your route and the forecast (Pro)
- Live flight status with delay alerts (Pro)
- Passports and travel documents in a private vault, with entry-rule checks for your destinations (Discovery, $9.99 a month)
An AI that has actually read your plan
Scout works inside the trip, not in a separate chat window. Ask it what Tuesday is missing or where to eat near your last stop, and it answers with places that fit the day, then makes the change for you to keep or undo. It checks hours, weather and routes against the plan you actually have. Every plan includes Scout, 15 messages a month free.
It stays useful after takeoff
On the trip, Today mode turns the current day into a simple running order: what’s next, how far, what the weather is doing. The plan you spent evenings building is the one in your hand at the trailhead, and it works as an app you add to your home screen.
Frequently asked questions
Is Treader free?
The planner is free forever: unlimited trips up to 7 days each, the live map, notes, one travel companion and 15 Scout messages a month, no card required. Pro and Discovery add longer trips, budgets, packing, flight tools and the document vault.
What does it replace?
The usual pile: the spreadsheet itinerary, the notes app, the group chat where decisions drown, the screenshot folder of bookings, and the separate flight-status app. The plan, the money, the documents and the conversation all live on the same trip.
Does the AI plan the trip for me?
It plans with you. Scout can see the trip you’ve built, so its suggestions arrive as stops on your map, placed into real days, for you to keep, move or undo. It remembers your pace and preferences instead of asking every time.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Treader is a web app that installs to your home screen like a native one, and the same trip is on your laptop for the evening planning sessions and your phone for the day itself.
