# The Today tab

While your trip is underway, the Today tab shows just today's plan, the files you need today, and what the guides know about where you are.

While your trip is underway, a **Today** tab appears in your trip. It narrows everything down to the one day you are standing in: today's stops, the documents that belong to today, and a few things worth knowing about the city you are in.

## When it appears

**Today** is only offered while the trip is underway — that is, when today's date falls between the trip's start and end dates. Before the trip starts and after it ends, the tab is not there, and the itinerary is the place to look.

It sits first in the tab row, ahead of **Itinerary**.

Which day counts as "today" is worked out in that day's own timezone, not your phone's. If you land in Tokyo before your phone has caught up, you still get the right day.

## Today's plan

The top of the tab is today's day from the itinerary, shown the same way it appears on the **Itinerary** tab:

- The same cards, in the same order, with the same times.
- **Day photos** for the day. If you have editing access, **Add photos** is available.
- The **Right Now** badge on whichever stop or travel leg you are currently in the middle of, when there is one.
- The same detail sheets and edit controls — you can reorder, add, and change stops here exactly as you would on the itinerary.

Nothing is reimplemented, so what you see on Today never disagrees with the itinerary.

## Files for today

Below the plan, **Files for today** lists the **Documents** that belong to this day — a boarding pass, a hotel confirmation, a timed ticket. Tap one to open it.

A document lands here for one of four reasons, shown under its name:

- **On today's plan** — attached to a stop scheduled today.
- **Your stay tonight** — attached to the **Stay** covering tonight.
- **Today's travel** — attached to a **Transportation** booking with a leg today. An overnight flight counts on both its departure and arrival days.
- **Dated today** — not attached to anything, but the reservation it was parsed from is dated today.

If nothing matches, the section is not shown.

## Good to know today

**Good to know today** is a row of short cards **From your guides** — facts for the cities this day touches. Each card is tagged with what kind of thing it is:

- **Eat this** — a dish to look for, and where you would find it.
- **Say this** — a useful phrase, with its pronunciation.
- **History**, **Culture**, **Customs** — background on where you are.
- **On the ground** — practical notes about the neighborhood.

Swipe the row to see more. The section only appears for cities Plannery has a guide for; a day in a city with no guide shows nothing here.

## If the tab says nothing is planned

If the trip is underway but today is not one of its days — for example, the trip was shortened at the end — you will see **Nothing planned for today** with a **See the itinerary** button.

> **Looking for Jump to Now?** That control lives on the **Itinerary** tab, where it scrolls the whole trip to where you are. On **Today** there is only one day on screen, so it is not needed.
