Common questions
The questions people actually ask, answered plainly — including where the answer is not the comfortable one.
Do I need an account?
No. Tap the link somebody sends you, type your name, and you are in. That is the whole thing, and it is how most people will ever use this.
So what does an account get me?
Exactly one thing: your trips on another device. Without one, the browser you joined in is the only way back to them — clear its data or lose the device and nobody can look them up for you, not even us. Everything else works the same either way.
I already have trips. If I sign in later, do they come with me?
Yes, automatically. Signing in on the device you already use attaches the account to the person you already are — nothing is copied or imported. From then on, signing in anywhere else brings those trips with it.
What if I joined trips as two different people, on two devices?
Then signing in picks one of them, and the other keeps its own trips. We do not merge two people into one: that would mean rewriting every cost and every vote pointing at either of them, and a mistake there quietly breaks a ledger you are using to settle real money.
Does it work without signal?
For reading, yes — any trip page you have opened before stays readable, which is the point, because on the road is where you need the address and where there is often no signal. The page tells you it is a saved copy, and when it is from. Voting, entering costs and signing in need a connection.
Who can see my trip?
Anyone holding its link. There is no other door, and no list of trips anyone can browse. Share the link the way you would share the trip itself; the organizer can replace it at any time, which locks out everyone who has the old one.
What happens if I lose my device?
With an account, sign in on the new one and everything is there. Without one, those trips are gone for you — the others on the trip still have them, and their link will let you back in as somebody new.
What does it cost?
Nothing, and there is nothing to buy. No adverts, no tracking, and nothing about you is passed on.
