YouTim Service
Road trip, multi-day hike, family or friends trip: place the stops on the map, plan the trip day by day, pick a transport mode for each leg. Everyone sees the same trip.
Stops on the map, a day-by-day plan, notes, distances and durations by transport mode — for all participants.
Each stop is a place, found by a search or a long press on the map; reorder them by dragging.
Optional: the departure date and the nights spent at each stop. The app sorts the plan by day, with dates and the days spent in one place.
Times, meeting points, places to visit: a note under each stop, visible to all participants.
On foot, bike, car, train, boat or plane: one main mode, and a mode per leg if needed.
On the map, each leg takes the colour and icon of its mode. A button shows the distances.
The time and distance of each leg and each day, then the trip summary: totals, days, nights and a breakdown by mode.
The full route as a GPX file for your GPS or hiking app, and the elevation profile of walking and cycling legs.
Plans change mid-trip? The itinerary can be edited at any time, and participants are notified when a stop is added or removed.
Discuss a stop, track expenses — all connected to the same group.
Trip planner
Turn on “Organise the trip by day”, set the departure date and the nights spent at each stop: the app sorts the stops by day, colours each leg by transport mode and sums up the trip.
How it works
Add the stops (one place each): they appear on a map, with the distance and duration of each leg. Everyone finds the plan without digging through messages.

5 cities in 10 days. Place each stop on the map and set the nights spent at each one: the app sorts the plan day by day, with dates and each day's route. Everyone checks it from their phone, even offline (the app keeps the last plan loaded).
Long-distance trail, Pyrenees crossing, Mont-Blanc tour: place the refuges on the map, check each leg's elevation and export the track as GPX. Ideal for a hiking group staying coordinated.
EuroVelo, family bike trip: YouTim Itinerary structures the route day by day, with times counted at around 20 km/h and the elevation of each leg, and keeps everyone on the same page.
Multiple cars, multiple stages, teens and grandparents: one shared itinerary prevents "where do we meet tonight?" at every stop.
Greek islands, Corsica, a lake tour: the Boat mode draws each crossing with an estimated duration, alongside the car or train legs. Pair with Budget to split costs.
Camping, gîte, restaurant, outdoor activity: the itinerary prevents weekend hesitations.
Yes, completely free, with no in-app purchases and no ads.
It's the group's trip planner: you plan a trip or outing stop by stop. Each stop is a place, found with a search or by long-pressing the map. Everyone sees the same route, with the distance and duration of each leg and, if you like, the day-by-day plan.
On foot, bike, car, train, boat or plane: the main mode is chosen at creation, and each leg between two stops can have its own. On the map, each mode has its own colour and icon. Distances and durations follow roads and paths for car, bike and walking (by bike, time is counted at around 20 km/h); for train, boat and plane, they are estimated as the crow flies.
Yes, it's an option: “Organise the trip by day”, at creation or in the service settings. Set the departure date and the number of nights spent at each stop: the app sorts the stops by day, with dates, the days spent in one place and each day's distance. On the map, one chip per day shows only that day's legs. Without the option, the itinerary stays a simple list of stops.
Yes, one note per stop, up to 500 characters: times, meeting points, places to visit… It appears under the stop's name and in its bubble on the map, for all participants.
In the list, each leg shows its distance and duration. On the map, the ruler button shows distances on the routes. At the bottom of the list, the summary gives the total distance and duration, the number of days and nights if the trip is organised by day, and a breakdown by transport mode when it combines several.
The itinerary is built into the YouTim that also shares the chat, budget and gallery. The members are already invited, so there's no need to forward a link to each of them.
Yes, the itinerary can be edited at any time. By default, all members can add, edit or reorder stops; the admin can restrict this to admins or lock the itinerary.
Yes, as a GPX file, for a GPS or a hiking app. For walking and cycling legs, an elevation profile also shows the climbs.
Yes, only the YouTim's members see the itinerary. Stops and notes are encrypted on our servers, in Europe. No public indexing, no resale.
Planning a trip together means juggling stops, routes, dates and meeting times. Specialized apps (TripIt, Roadtrippers, Sygic Travel) cover part of the need but force you to export and share on every change, and each participant must create a third-party account. YouTim Itinerary is built into the group's YouTim: travelers are already invited, and the plan is the same for everyone, always up to date.
With the “Organise the trip by day” option, the planner spreads the stops over the days of the trip from the departure date and the nights spent at each stop: each day's route and the days spent in one place are visible at a glance. A note per stop keeps times and meeting points.
A multi-stage trip needs a clear thread: which way do we go, how far today, how long on the road. YouTim Itinerary shows it on the map, accessible to everyone from their phone.
Long-distance trails, Camino, alpine crossings: for multi-day group hikes, placing refuges and resupply points on the map, with each leg's distance and elevation, keeps even a large amateur group coordinated.
The itinerary makes full sense with the calendar (pre-flight reminders), budget (cost splitting), gallery (road photos), and chat (day-to-day coordination).
Your itinerary feeds no recommendation algorithm, no targeted advertising. Trip data stays private to the group, in Europe.
