The Globe Guide

Everything Globe can do.

A quick tour of the main features, from first idea to memory book.

Getting Started

Welcome to Globe

Your first-run setup. Sign up, then a short wizard walks you through language, the basics, and meeting your Globe Companion. Everything's editable later, so just get going.

Getting Started

My Space

My Space is your home screen: a customizable grid of widgets that adapts to where you are. New, planning, on a trip, or between adventures, it shows exactly what's next.

Getting Started

Create or Join a Trip

Start a new trip in seconds or hop into someone else's with a code. The Add-a-Trip panel has Create and Join tabs, so you're covered whether you're the organiser or a guest.

Getting Started

Trip Phases

Every trip moves through four phases, shown as a stepper on the Overview tab. Each phase focuses you on the right work, from gathering people to wrapping up memories.

Getting Started

Participants & Invites

The Participants tab manages your crew. Add people from Friends, invite a whole saved group at once, or share an invite link and code that opens a join page with a trip preview.

Plan Together

Trip Input

Your personal corner of the planning phase. Paint the days you're free, set a budget cap, flag dietary needs, and note access requirements, all sitting right next to the group's combined picture.

Plan Together

Proposals

The group's decision hub. Anyone posts ideas (stays, places, activities, restaurants, and more), then you vote thumbs up or down, comment, and run polls to settle the close calls.

Plan Together

Planner

The trip's day-by-day schedule. Build it in List, Calendar, or Overview view, drag items across days, and slot in places, activities, restaurants, transport, and stays, each with times and locations.

Plan Together

Sharing & Templates

Turn any trip's schedule into a public, read-only template. Share a short link, and anyone can preview the plan. Signed-in viewers can import the whole thing into a trip of their own.

Collaborate

Group Chat

A real group chat that knows your trip. Send text, GIFs, photos, and documents, share live or pinned locations, react and quote-reply, and @mention people or proposals to keep everyone moving.

Collaborate

Collaborative Notes

A shared, real-time editor for your trip. Co-edit live with colored author rails, add headings, lists, checklists, and images, then organise with color labels, pinning, search, and sort.

Collaborate

To Do's

The group's shared task list. Add tasks with assignees and due dates, watch them sort into urgency bands, and track progress with a completion ring, filters, search, and per-person views.

Capture & Track

Expenses

Log shared spending, split it your way, and settle up. Globe tracks who paid, who owes, and collapses every debt down to the fewest transfers so nobody does mental math.

Capture & Track

Documents

One hub for tickets and paperwork. Upload images or PDFs, sort them into categories, link them to Planner activities, and save them for offline so they open in airplane mode.

Capture & Track

Photos

One shared album for the whole crew. Upload many shots at once, double-tap to like, sort and filter the gallery, and open any photo full-screen to swipe, download, or delete.

Your Travel Story

Trip Memory

When a trip completes, Globe builds a cinematic look-back: a cover hero, a stats strip, unlocked achievements, favourite moments and pictures, an expenses recap, a day-by-day rewind, and every member's review.

Your Travel Story

Travel History

Your travel story on a world map. Every country you've visited gets tinted; tap one to drill into the cities, places, and trips behind it. Below, your trips group into now, upcoming, and the journey so far.

Your Travel Story

My Travel List

The home for your dreams: places you haven't been yet. A hero counts them and shows stats, plus one pinned top pick. Add a dream with a destination, photo, category, timeframe, and note, then start a trip or mark it visited.

Your Travel Story

Friends

Your travel circle. A stat strip shows friends, mutual trips, and countries visited together. Add by email or @username, build reusable Friend Groups, and open a profile to see their history, dreams, and what you have In Common.

Your Account

Your Passport

Your travel identity on Globe. A gradient passport card with your avatar, name, @username, home city, bio, and travel-style chips, plus travel stats and a world map of where you've been.

Your Account

Settings & Notifications

Tune Globe to fit you. Light or dark theme, week-start preference, ten notification toggles split across push and in-app, password and security, privacy and language, plus sign out and delete account.

Your Account

Plans & Upgrades

Two ways to upgrade. A one-time Trip Pass unlocks a single trip for everyone on it with much higher caps. Globe Pro is a personal subscription that raises caps across every trip you're on.

Your Account

Notifications & Inbox

Stay in the loop without the nagging. A bell opens the in-app Notifications panel grouped by trip, a Message Center summarises unread chats, and push covers messages, mentions, trip updates, and reminders.

Your Account

Deleting Your Account

How to permanently delete your Globe account. A clear three-step wizard shows what's removed, checks it's really you, and asks you to confirm before anything is erased.

Tips & Extras

Offline Mode

Globe keeps working without a connection. It switches to read-only and serves the last data it saw, so you can still view your schedule, saved documents, and expenses. Write actions pause until you're back online.

Tips & Extras

Globe Companion

A friendly floating help button on most screens. Tap it for a quick explainer of where you are, 'good to know' tips, and one-tap quick actions, plus a place to report a problem or send feedback.
