Features

Everything a trip needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

From the first screenshot to the last photo, here’s everything Ampersand does, and the part of the app that does it.

01 · Collect

Throw everything in.

Before a trip, ideas arrive from everywhere. Give them one place to land, and let it do the sorting.

  • Paste a link, forward a screenshot, or just type a name
  • Each idea labels itself: restaurant, café, sight, bar
  • The assistant reads screenshots of lists, menus and bookings into places
  • Every place found on the map, with its opening hours and website
Found 4 places in Mila’s screenshot
02 · Together

Planned by everyone. Owned by no spreadsheet.

Invite whoever’s coming. They plan for free, and you decide who can change things.

  • Invite people by name; they see the trip straight away
  • Each person can edit or just view
  • Must-do, maybe or pass, on every idea
  • Changes arrive live, and you can see who else is planning

03 · Plan

Days that work themselves out.

Drag ideas onto days. The order, the walking, the meals and the opening hours follow.

  • Stops fall into time order; morning, afternoon, evening or an exact time
  • The walk or metro ride between every stop
  • Closed that day? It says so, and when it opens
  • Meals held open, with places nearby that are open then
  • Rearrange a day, or every day, to walk less
  1. Longhua Temple
  2. Lunch · 3 open nearby
  3. Long Museum

1 h 10 min on foot

04 · Book

Every booking, right where you’ll need it.

What’s booked, what isn’t, and what sells out, next to the plan it belongs to.

  • Need to book, booked, or not needed, on every plan
  • Flights looked up from their number
  • Tickets, PDFs and QR codes on the stop they’re for
  • One calendar feed for the whole trip, kept up to date
Day 1 · MU 552LHR → PVGBooked
Day 4 · 10:00Shanghai TowerBooked
Day 6 · books out fastUltraviolet
05 · On the trip

On the day, it knows what’s next.

The trip lives on your phone, so the plan still works when the signal doesn’t.

  • Today: the next stop, and how long the walk is
  • Everything offline in the fortnight before and during the trip, maps included
  • Driver cards with the address in the local script
  • Emergency numbers and the nearest pharmacy
  • Packing lists, shared or by person

06 · Keep

Come home with the story.

A line a day and a few photos turn into something you’ll actually look at again.

  • A journal page for every day
  • Photos kept where they happened
  • A recap to print or save as a PDF
  • Share a trip as a page; friends can copy it for theirs

08 · Assistant

Ask it anything about the trip.

It knows your plan, the places on it and what day it is. What it suggests comes back as plans you add in a tap.

  • Places, hours, tickets and getting around
  • Whole days drafted as suggestions, one by one or all together
  • Translates your phrase cards
  • Finds places online that maps don’t know yet
