Adding an activity
Tap “+” on a day in the trip overview (or “Add” in the day plan). The screen “What would you like to add?” opens:
- Search field – type e.g. “hotel” or “ferry”.
- Recently used and Fits this trip – the most likely types at the top.
- Without a form – four quick ways:
| Way | How it works | Free? |
|---|---|---|
| Import booking | choose a photo or PDF of a booking confirmation – AI creates the activity (or activities). | Premium |
| From clipboard | have copied text (e.g. from a booking email) read in. | Premium |
| Ticket or appointment | import a Wallet ticket (.pkpass) or calendar entry (.ics). | yes |
| Quick | just name and time – add details later. | yes |
- Below, all types in four groups: Mobility · Accommodation · On site · Other, plus “Multi-day trip” for multi-day journeys.
AI import rule: the AI only takes over what is literally in the document and shows you the result for review before anything is saved. Uncertain entries are discarded.
Input helpers
- Prefill: new activities start with a sensible time (after the previous one ends, rounded to the quarter hour) and the place where you are that day.
- Address search with map: search a place, check it on the map and apply it. The search prefers results near your trip; the globe button searches worldwide. With Premium, phone, website and opening hours are added for hotels and parking.
- Times are picked in 5-minute steps and always refer to local time – a flight at 14:05 in New York stays 14:05, wherever you are.
Viewing and editing
Tap an activity to open its details: times, map, information, documents, costs and personal booking details. Use “Edit” to change it; you'll be asked about unsaved changes when leaving.
Long press
- Duplicate – a copy, optionally moved by a few days (without costs, documents and booking details).
- Create return trip – e.g. from the outbound journey: start and destination are swapped.
- Delete.
Booking details per person & tickets
For flights, trains, buses, ships, hotels, holiday apartments and events, each person can store their own booking details: seat, coach, room, cabin, block/row/seat, booking reference, frequent flyer number.
- Ticket code: scan your ticket's barcode with the camera, choose a photo or import an Apple Wallet ticket. Explority then shows the code large and scannable (QR, Aztec – e.g. rail tickets –, PDF417, Code128 …).
- In private trips all travellers see everyone's booking details. In group trips, leaders see all, participants only their own.
Documents and costs on the activity
Saved activities
Not sure yet when you'll visit the museum? Save an activity without a day. You'll find it under “Saved activities” and can later schedule it onto a day. Saved activities count neither in the itinerary nor in the CO₂ balance.
Private activities (group trips)
In a group trip every participant can add private activities – such as a dinner with the family. Only that person sees them, not even the trip leaders. Activities created by participants are automatically private.
