Binders.

A binder holds one bigger thing: a trip, a move, a repair, a party. Everything for it, in one place.

All your binders, and what’s next

Each binder shows when it’s happening and its next step, so you know where you are at a glance.

  1. Tap a binder to open it.
  2. Next steps also show on Day Plan, in the Binders card.
The Binders page: Personal binders like Jess’s birthday (in 12 days, next: Pick the place today), Camper repairs and Greek cruise, each with its next step.

  1. On Binders, tap New binder.
  2. Name it and pick who can see it: Personal, Work or Family.

Cards, and the next step

A binder is a set of cards. The row at the top jumps to each one.

  1. In Steps, type in Add a step and tap Add. Give it a date if it has one.
  2. Tap + Today to do a step today. It shows on Day Plan.
  3. Each card’s + adds to it. 📋 Paste a list adds many at once.

Key dates, notes & files, and lists

Keep the whole trip together.

  1. Key dates: the payment due, check-in, the day you leave. They show on your Calendar too.
  2. Notes & files: tickets, confirmations and photos, right where you need them.
  3. Packing list (a List card): tick things as you pack. Uncheck all gets it ready for next time.
