The trip planner made for everyone that works with zero signal. Days, stops, lodging, costs, and notes — planned together, beautiful to read, and always in your pocket, even where the map apps give up.
Be first in line when Ambleforge opens.
Already invited? Open the app (beta) →Real screenshots from the app — a genuine week in canyon country, planned, shared, and half-travelled. Tap a chapter to open it; click any picture to see it full size.
From an empty screen to a full itinerary, with the app doing the busywork.
On the road, with or without signal — the plan keeps up with you.
Trips are a team sport. The whole family plans, packs, and edits the same trip — live.
High-tech under the hood, simple in your hand — and nothing held hostage behind a paywall. Four groups; tap one to open it.
The busywork does itself — you just make the decisions.
Sections, days, stays, activities, notes — arranged in the order you'll live them.
Set a start date and the days fall into line — add a night and everything after it shifts a day, automatically. Booked a flight or a non-refundable hotel? Pin it, and the plan flows around that fixed point instead of dragging it. Reorder days in a tap-safe mode and watch the dates re-flow live. And if a booked stay falls out of step with the plan, the app says so until you've updated the reservation.
Lodging cards with confirmation numbers, addresses, and one-tap directions. Paste a confirmation email and the form fills itself in — name, phone, address, confirmation number, nights — right on your device, filling only the blanks.
Times and miles fill in between stops; navigation hands off to the maps app you already use. Not driving a leg? Mark it fly, train, bus, ferry — the trip default is yours to set, and any day can differ.
Nine categories around every stop — stays, things to do, trails, transit, dining, groceries, shopping, plus fuel & repair and medical & emergency. Distances measure from where you're staying, addresses and tap-to-call numbers ride along where the map has them, and one tap drops a find straight into your plan. And when open map data runs thin, a one-tap web search picks up the slack.
A 7-day outlook on every destination, current conditions where you stand — and for trip days months out, what it's typically like, from ten years of records.
Off-grid is the design target, not an afterthought.
The whole plan lives on your phone. Edit it in a canyon; it syncs when you're back.
Street, topo, and satellite layers; trail networks by travel mode — hiking to horseback to off-road; every stop and stay pinned along your route.
When the car needs fuel, a tire, or a mechanic — or someone needs a clinic or pharmacy — the nearby list has a lane for it, with one-tap numbers to call ahead. It's saved to your phone along your entire route — every stop, and the highway between them, every ~11 miles — so "What's near me" in Today mode finds the nearest gas station from your live GPS position even at mile 150 with zero signal. Honest by design: a plain emergency notice rides along with the number that actually works where you are — 911 in North America, 112 across Europe, the right one in 233 countries, saved offline like everything else — because this helps you find help; it isn't an emergency service.
Past days check themselves off and fold away automatically — computed from the calendar, so it works offline. Finished legs wear their ✓; anything reopens with a tap.
Snap a photo or jot one line on any day — about ten seconds, even with zero signal (it syncs when you're back). Every stop is its own memory spot: tonight's stay, that hike, that dinner each take their own photos and notes, so the room's pictures stay with the room — and day-level moments (morning light, scenery) keep their own place. Memories live inside the trip, stay private from shared links, and store at print quality. And your Story turns the trip into a keepsake you can write: each leg opens with where you stayed and a weather line for those days, then threads what you did, where you ate, and the memories you caught at each — every stretch of text editable, so it reads like the day actually went. Private to your travelers, and the start of the printed keepsake to come.
One trip, everyone's hands on it — and the money stays friendly.
Invite family by email as editors or viewers. Everyone edits the same trip live, from their own phone, with permissions enforced at the database itself.
Two lists on one page — to-dos and packing — built for families: assign anything to any person (kids don't need accounts), watch per-person progress, and start from a sensible template. Type a name once and it's a one-tap choice from then on.
Every stay and stop totals up live — per day, per section, whole trip. Cross a border and the currency follows — a Canadian hotel prices itself in CAD. Set how many of you there are and the total divides per person; per-item people counts handle the days the group splits up.
On group trips, any cost can carry who paid and how it splits — everyone evenly, just some people, by shares, or exact amounts. The Money page turns it all into where everyone stands and the shortest list of who-pays-who, live, offline, no spreadsheet on the side. And when you record what things actually cost, the budget view shows planned vs. paid — over or under, per leg and for the whole trip — and settling up uses the real numbers.
One link shows your itinerary to anyone — no account needed, on any phone. They see the plan; your documents, checklists, costs, and confirmation numbers stay yours. Turn the link off anytime, or mint a fresh one and the old link goes dark for good.
Print it, export it, reuse it, make it look like you.
Itineraries that read like a well-made travel binder — PDF and paper included.
Export the whole trip — or a single day — as a calendar file that drops straight into Google, Apple, or Outlook calendars. Days, timed plans in the right time zone, and hotels spanning check-in to check-out, with confirmation numbers along for the ride.
Duplicate any trip in one tap — the whole structure comes along, ready to reuse. Pick a new start date and every day falls into place. Last summer's loop becomes this summer's plan in about a minute.
Seven color palettes (metallic to pastel to black & white), four card styles (paper, flat, frosted glass, soft), aurora backdrops, dark mode — per device, so each family member sees the trip their way. Bold, but never unreadable.
Five steps. The first one is just typing a name.
That's genuinely all it takes to start — dates, travel style, and party size if you want them.
One form per leg: arrival date, hotel, address with type-ahead. Day one builds itself — city, weather, and the drive from your last stop fills in on its own.
Activities, meals, and stops picked straight from what's nearby — or saved as ideas from the map and dealt onto days later, one tap each.
Invite everyone by email, plan the same trip together live, and divvy up the packing in Before you go.
Today mode shows what matters right now — no signal required. Days check themselves off as you travel. Sync happens by itself.
Most travel apps make their money in ways they'd rather not explain. Here's exactly where we stand — in writing.
Plan a complete trip free — no stop limits, no trip limits. The free plan handles a real family's year of travel, start to finish. That's a promise, not a trial.
A paid tier is coming for the nice-to-haves. Nothing you can do today will ever move behind it — planning, offline, sharing, and collaboration stay free.
When paid arrives: a monthly option always offered, cancel right in the app, no silent upgrades, no annual-only traps. If a subscription needs a dark pattern to survive, it doesn't deserve to.
You are the customer, not the product. We don't run ads, we don't sell or share your data for advertising, and our maps come from our own server — no tracking pixels riding along.
Delete a trip and it's permanently erased — photos and all — within about 30 days. That window is your safety net to change your mind; after it, it's gone from our servers for good.
Print them, export them to your calendar, share them with a link — your data is never held hostage. If you ever leave, you leave with everything.
No app store, no download wait — Ambleforge installs straight from the browser and then behaves like any other app: its own icon, full screen, works offline, updates itself.
Open the app link in Safari, tap the Share button (the square with the arrow), scroll down, and choose Add to Home Screen, then Add.
Open the app link in Chrome, tap the ⋮ menu, and choose Add to Home screen (some phones say Install app), then confirm.
It works right in the browser — nothing to install. In Chrome or Edge you can also click the install icon at the end of the address bar to give it its own window.
Yes — and not just reading. Ambleforge is the only trip planner where everything works offline: open your whole trip, edit it, add stops, jot notes, snap memories, check tomorrow's cached weather, even browse your saved maps and find the nearest fuel along your route — all in airplane mode, all on the free plan. Changes sync themselves the moment you're back in coverage. We prove this before every release with an automated airplane-mode test of the entire app.
The free plan plans a complete real trip — no stop limits, no trip limits, offline included. A paid tier will come later for extras, and the basics will never move behind it. No ads either way, ever.
iPhone, Android, and any computer — Ambleforge installs straight from the browser (instructions above) and behaves like a native app: its own icon, full screen, works offline, updates itself. App-store listings are planned; you don't have to wait for them.
No. Packing lists and to-dos assign to people by name — type "Emma" once and she's a one-tap choice from then on, no account, no email, nothing to set up. Accounts are only for people who'll edit the trip themselves.
Yes — share one link and she sees the itinerary on any phone, no account needed. She sees the plan; your documents, costs, checklists, and confirmation numbers stay private. Turn the link off anytime.
It's yours. We don't sell it, we don't run ads on it, and when you delete a trip it's permanently erased — photos included — within about 30 days. The full privacy policy is written in plain language, linked below.
