35m short after the leg in. Push it later or trim the stop before.
This day runs on the planner’s own check and Fix timing. Opening hours come with Pro; queues, tickets, bookings and closures on the day are still yours to confirm.

Ask ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini for a day-by-day plan and paste the answer. Each stop is looked up and put on its day, at the time the chat gave it, and every drive between them is timed. Try it with this one first.

Trip check reads every day before you go, and the plan goes with you on your phone. Pro keeps the map working offline and rewrites the rest of the day when it goes sideways.
Trip check/Free
Trip check reads every day against public holidays on your dates, sunset and how full the day is, then lists what needs a look. On Pro it reads each place's opening hours too.
Scout/15 free a month
A chat app knows only what you paste into it. Scout works inside the trip, and what it proposes goes in with one tap and comes out with one Undo.
Scout reads
A trip you plan by yourself works exactly the same. Send one link and everyone follows the same map. A friend who edits adds stops you see as they go.
A friend pins Lake Agnes from their desk in Toronto and it turns up on your Tuesday a second later.
Vote on dinner, pin the winner into the day, and stop arguing about it in the chat at midnight.
Anyone you invite follows along free, whatever plan they’re on. Free plans with one friend; Pro with three.
Paid plans pay for the maps, the trip AI and the servers. The privacy policy names every service that touches your data and says how long each thing is kept.
So, why’d I build Treader?
I’m Logan. I take photographs, and I spend a good chunk of the year planning trips and trying to be everywhere at once. Too many of those trips never left the group chat, and I’d end up watching someone else’s video of the place we kept saying we’d go.
The planning tools didn’t help. Most were too limited, none let me plan with the people I actually travel with, and more than once I turned up at a spot that didn’t exist. So I built the thing I wanted: a map I can trust, with my friends planning on it beside me. Treader is for people who want to plan together and get out there.
Plan less, live more.
Logan, Treader

What people ask before they plan a first trip. The docs go further.
Read the docsA chat writes the plan once, as text. Paste its day-by-day answer here and each stop lands on a map, on its day. Once it is a trip, every leg is timed and Trip check flags what needs a look: a stop you cannot reach in time, a stop that runs past sunset, a public holiday on your dates. Scout, the assistant inside the trip, can fill a gap or find dinner near your last stop, and every change it makes can be undone.
Yes. $0, forever, no card and no trial clock. You get up to 50 trips of up to 7 days each, one person to plan each one with (everyone else you invite follows along), and 15 Scout messages a month. Upgrade only when you outgrow it.
Only place names, and only when you ask. The days and stops are read in your browser. Map these stops sends each stop’s name, with its day’s place, to Treader’s place search, which looks it up with a map provider. The rest of the text stays on your device until you save it to your new account; there, a paste without Day headings is read by Scout, Treader’s AI.
No. Joining someone else’s trip is always free. Hosting is the part that scales with your plan: one person can edit with you on Free, 3 people on Pro. Everyone else you invite follows along free. Trip length and editor seats follow the host’s plan; Scout messages and full place detail follow each person’s own plan.
Yes, in a couple of clicks. Prices are in CAD: Pro is $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year, which saves 17%. You keep access until the period ends, and your trips, spots and notes stay yours after that.
Type a place and your first trip is made with your account. Everything after that is the fun part.
