Getting started

1. Install the app

iPhone / iPad: search for “Explority” in the App Store.
Android: search for “Explority” in the Google Play Store.
Mac / Windows / browser: Explority also runs on computers. Some features aren't available there (e.g. widgets or the ID scanner) – see iPhone, Android & more.

The app follows your device language (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish) and your system's light or dark appearance.

2. First launch

On first launch, Explority shows you a few cards about what the app can do. After that you have two options:

Option	What it means
Sign in / Register	Your trips are backed up in the cloud, synced across all your devices and can be shared with others. Recommended.
Skip	You use the app without an account. Everything stays on this device only. You can sign in any time later – your local trips will then be uploaded.

Ways to sign in

Email and password – after registering you receive an email. Confirm your address with the 6-digit code from the email or via the link. A new account can't be used until it's confirmed. No email? Check your spam folder or tap “resend” after a short wait.
Sign in with Google
Sign in with Apple (iPhone, iPad, Mac)
Sign-in link by email – no password: you get a link that signs you in directly.

Forgot your password? Choose “Forgot password” on the sign-in screen – you'll receive an email to reset it.

Joining a group trip without an account

If you've received a join link or code for a school or club trip, you don't need an account: enter your name once and you're in. If you create an account later, your memberships are kept. More: Joining a group trip.

3. The home screen

After signing in you see the home screen:

Your trips as cards with cover photos – ongoing and upcoming trips first. The “New trip” card starts a new plan.
Today – while a trip is running, you see today's programme. Use “Quick expense” to record what you paid in seconds.
Notices, e.g. open invitations (envelope icon) or a passport that expires soon (from the vault).
Access to Tools and Settings.

4. Your first trip in 5 minutes

Tap “New trip”.
Select your travel dates in the calendar.
Search for your destination (e.g. “Lisbon”). For round trips add several destinations and set the arrival day for each.
Choose a cover photo (suggestions matching your destination, or your own photo) and name your trip.
Done – the trip “builds itself”: first the route on the map, then photo and plan.
Tap “+” on a day to add your first activity, e.g. your flight: flight number and date are enough – times and airports are filled in automatically.

Continue with Trips and Activities.

5. Good to know

For free you can plan up to 2 trips at the same time. Past trips and group trips don't count. Details: Free & Premium.
Offline: whatever has been loaded is available without internet. Features that need a connection (e.g. flight search) are greyed out offline and explain why when tapped. → Offline & sync
Help in the app: many screens have a “?” at the top with a short explanation. Tips can be shown again from the settings.
