Question 1

How does the itinerary planner work?

Accepted Answer

Enter your destination, duration (days), pace (relaxed/balanced/packed), budget (budget/mid-range/luxury), trip type (city break, beach, adventure, cultural, foodie), and optional interests. The pure-JS engine picks activity and restaurant templates for your trip type, schedules them across each day with realistic start times, builds in travel-gap buffers between stops, and adds opening-hours notes. Each day is a timeline of stops with map links.

Question 2

Can I regenerate or reorder a single day?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the 'Regenerate day' button to get a new variant for any day — the engine rotates through alternate templates so a regenerated day is different from the original. The pace slider lets you shift from relaxed (fewer stops, longer gaps) to packed (more stops, tighter gaps) and re-schedules the whole trip instantly.

Question 3

What can I export?

Accepted Answer

Three formats: a plain-text itinerary, a Markdown itinerary (suitable for notes apps), and a .ics calendar file you can import into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. Each stop also has a Google Maps directions link. Multi-city trips are supported — separate cities with '->' or 'to' (e.g. 'Paris -> Lyon').

Question 5

Is my trip data sent anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. All itinerary templating, scheduling, and export runs locally in your browser. Your destination, dates, and interests never leave this device. The only network call is if you paste your own LLM API key and click 'Enhance with LLM' — that request goes directly from your browser to the LLM provider you choose. Hours, prices, and transit times can change; always verify opening hours before you go. We do not take booking commissions.
