# Docs & help

Plan your first trip, prepare for the trail, use your assistant or find an answer about the app.

## Start here

Choose the guide that matches what you want to do. The browser planner works without an account; connected assistant features require an Adventure Runner account.



- [I want to plan my first trip](https://www.trailready.run/docs/getting-started/)
- [I want to plan with my assistant](https://www.trailready.run/docs/assistants/)
- [I have a UI or connection question](https://www.trailready.run/docs/troubleshooting/)

## From a route to a trip you can use

Follow this workflow in the browser planner, or ask your assistant to guide you through it.

1. Choose a reference route or import your own track.
2. Set your date, local start time, moving hours, stops and water refills.
3. Check trip-date weather, its refresh time and official access notices.
4. Prepare gear, permits, reservations, transport and emergency arrangements.
5. Export a PDF for the group, GPX for navigation and JSON as an editable backup. Download maps and test offline reopening before departure.

## Where your plans live

Local trips stay in this browser. Sign-in saves account gear rules and enables assistant authorization; it does not sync your local trip library. Share a trip snapshot deliberately for assistant access. Approve proposed changes in Account, then save a local copy if you want to edit it in the browser planner.
