Essentials

Confirmations live in email, PDFs live in downloads, and the plan lives somewhere else entirely — until the morning you need all three at a check-in desk. Essentials is the before-you-go side of a trip: what you have booked, what you are carrying, and what you still need to sort out.

Bookings and files together

Add a booking with a date and a status, then upload the confirmation and link it to that booking. That link is the whole point: months later you are looking for "the hotel", not for a PDF whose filename you cannot remember. Files can carry an expiry date too, which is how a passport tells you it is about to become a problem.

Let a file do the typing

Rather than typing it all in, hand Jonetsu the confirmation and let it read. It comes back with what it found: a booking, the file saved, and the itinerary items that go with it. You approve what is right. You can steer it too: "add the flight and airport transfers" gets you exactly that.

Visa and entry

Essentials works out what your group needs to enter, broken down per traveller nationality, since two people on the same trip often need different things: visa-free, e-Visa, on arrival, or an embassy appointment. Each one links out to the official page so you can confirm it at the source. Treat it as a prompt to check rather than the final word: entry rules change, and only the official source is authoritative.

Notes

The door code, the host’s name, the thing someone mentioned about the second night. Notes sit with the trip instead of in a message thread you will be scrolling back through at the worst possible moment.

Questions

Worth knowing

Should I plan my days here?

The itinerary is the better home for the plan itself, while Essentials holds the records behind it. Kept apart, the plan stays readable and the paperwork stays findable.

Can everyone on the trip see these?

People on the trip can, which is usually the point. Nobody has to forward the hotel confirmation to five people the night before.

Can I rely on the visa information?

Use it to find out what to check and where to check it. Every entry item links to an official source, and that source is what counts, because rules change often, and they differ by nationality.
