Travel Tools

All of these tools are under "All tools" in the Travel Hub. When you open one from the "More" tab of a trip page, it applies to that trip.

Quick Tools​

"Quick tools" in the Travel Hub holds the tools you use most. Click "Edit" to add, remove, or reorder them. If the list is empty, click "Edit quick tools" to add tools.

Converter​

Converts 20 currencies into New Taiwan dollars: choose a currency and enter an amount to see roughly how much it is in NT$. The rates are built-in reference rates, work offline, and are for reference only.

The Converter in the macOS version converts currencies only. To convert time zones, use the iPhone or iPad version.

Local Weather​

Shows the current temperature, conditions, wind speed (m/s), and a 5-day forecast.

  • Weather data comes from Open-Meteo and requires an internet connection.
  • Switch places at the top: if you have Saved Locations, they're listed there; otherwise, the defaults are Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei, and Seoul.
  • To see the weather in another city, enter the city in "Explore nearby" and add a place from the results to your favorites.

Translation Card​

Built-in phrases for travel:

  • 5 languages: Japanese, Korean, English, Thai, Vietnamese.
  • 4 situations: greeting, dining, transport, emergency.
  • Romanization is shown where available. Click "Read aloud" to hear a phrase in the system voice.

The macOS version doesn't have camera translation, article translation, or translation of text you type.

Trip Templates​

There are 5 built-in templates: 東京經典七天, 京阪奈五天, 首爾四天, 台南週末, and 花蓮兩天一夜 (a classic week in Tokyo, five days in Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara, four days in Seoul, a weekend in Tainan, and two days and one night in Hualien). Click "Create Trip" to create a new trip from a template (with a name and note only, no dates).

Packing List​

Open it from the "List" tab of a trip page (or the Packing List tool).

  • Enter an item, choose a category, and click "Add". A category can't have two items with the same name.
  • Check off packed items; the top shows your progress as "N / M Packed".
  • Control-click an item and choose Delete, or select it and press Delete.

Shopping List​

Switch to the shopping list on the "List" tab of a trip page (or open the Shopping List tool).

  • Enter an item and its price to add it. Check off what you've bought, and the list shows the "To-Buy Subtotal".
  • Control-click an item and choose Delete, or select items and press Delete (you can delete several at once).

Departure Reminders​

Lists your upcoming trips. Click "Set Reminders" to schedule two local notifications:

  • The day before departure, at the same time of day: "Departing Tomorrow!"
  • At 08:00 on the day of departure: "Trip Starts!"

Notifications for Yucts must be allowed (System Settings → Notifications), and the trip needs a start date (trips created from templates don't have dates, so they don't appear here).

Emergency Info​

Collects the police, ambulance, and fire numbers for 10 countries and regions (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, the United States, the EU, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia), Taiwan's overseas missions, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' emergency hotline for nationals abroad (toll-free, 24 hours, when calling from abroad).

  • Use "Search country/region" to find your destination quickly.
  • Control-click a number to "Copy number".
  • The information is for general reference; the numbers announced locally and by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs take precedence.

Explore Nearby​

Searches by category (Attractions, Food, Coffee, Convenience store, Drugstore goods, Station) for places around a city you enter, using Apple Maps:

  1. Enter a city name, then press Return or click the magnifying glass. Places are listed for the selected category (Attractions by default).
  2. Click a category at the top to switch. Each result shows its distance from the city center.
  3. Click the heart (Add to Favorites) next to a result to add it to Saved Locations, or the map icon (Open in Maps) to open it in the Maps app.

Trip Recap​

Choose a trip to see its recap: the number of days, stops, photos, and companions, "Trip Highlights", total and per-person spending, and "Footprint Highlights".

  • "Trip Highlights" is a summary the app writes from your trip data using fixed sentence patterns, without AI. Click "Regenerate" for a different version.
  • Click "Share Recap" to share the recap as text with the system share menu, or "Other Trips" to choose another trip.

Holiday Calendar​

Shows public holidays in Japan and Taiwan (this tool appears only when the server provides the data):

  • Choose a region at the top (Japan, Taiwan, or both) and view by month or year. The next holiday and how many days remain are shown.
  • Each month lists public holidays and long weekends (with start, end, and length) and marks substitute holidays, make-up workdays, weekends, and seasonal festivals. Festivals and suggested seasonal periods are for reference only; whether a day is off follows the official public holiday data.
  • Click any day to see the date, weekday, region, the holiday's name and official name, whether it's a day off or a make-up workday, any long weekend, and the data source and update time. Trips planned for that day are listed too.
  • Months the government hasn't announced yet say "Not yet published". Offline, the calendar shows previously downloaded data and when it was downloaded.

For holidays during a trip, see "Local Holidays" in Travel Planning & Map.

Transit Planner​

Currently available as a website: click "Open the YUCTS Transit website" to open YUCTS Transit in your browser and look up transfers and service information. The regions it covers are as shown on the website. Transit search inside the app isn't available yet.
