PencilTrip

Your next escape,
a few lines at a time.

Tell PencilTrip who is coming, where you would love to go, and what makes a trip feel like you. Watch a playful postcard take shape on your iPhone.

PencilTrip is a free early TestFlight prototype for iPhone running iOS 26 or later.

For help or feedback, contact us at support@nshortn.com. Include your iPhone model, iOS version, app version and a short description of what happened. Please do not send passwords, booking confirmations, payment details or private travel information.

Apple Intelligence and guided mode

On supported devices with Apple Intelligence enabled and ready, the on-device model understands your travel details. Guided mode keeps the interview moving when the model is unavailable. Your postcard is drawn with lines and curves on your iPhone; it is an imagined scene, not a photograph.

Travel ideas

Explore looks up hotels, airports and activities through Apple Maps. Airline links use a small open-data directory. Check everything with the provider: these results do not confirm flight routes, schedules, prices, room availability or suitability. No location permission is required.

Saving, sharing and starting again

Your current conversation and trip are saved on your iPhone. Use the share button to choose where a postcard goes. Use New postcard to erase the saved trip and begin again. Device backups may retain older copies.

Privacy

No account or payment is required. Chat and trip details stay on your device. Crash reports and a fixed set of usage events help improve the app without including your conversation or destination. Read the privacy policy.
