How Zarparia works, in plain language — what each screen does and how to do the everyday things. Nothing here is a substitute for exploring the app yourself.
Zarparia only supports signing in with a Google account — there's no separate password to create or remember. Your name, email and avatar come from Google; nothing else about your Google account is touched unless you separately connect Google Photos.
Zarparia is a small, invite-only beta. The first time you sign in, your account is created but marked pending until the operator approves it — you'll see a review screen instead of your trips until then. There's nothing to do but check back; approval doesn't require you to sign in again.
Once approved, use "New trip" to open a short wizard: give the trip a title and start date, then list the places you're going with how many nights at each. It builds a draft itinerary you can then refine in the editor — or start from a blank trip if you'd rather build it up yourself.
You don't need an account to see what Zarparia looks like with a real trip in it. The demo is a fully interactive sample itinerary — everything responds, nothing is saved, and it never touches a real account.
Your home screen once you're signed in and approved. It lists trips you own and trips others have shared with you, with the currently-happening trip (if any) pulled out into a highlighted card at the top.
The read-through view of a trip: a day-by-day itinerary with times, places, notes and a map, organised into stops. This is what you see when you open a trip, and what anyone you share it with sees too.
Where you build and change a trip: settings (title, languages, home base), stops, days and the individual blocks of a day's schedule, each with a live preview alongside. Reached from a trip's Edit button — only people with edit access (owners and editors) can get to it.
Paste a rough itinerary — an email thread, a list of notes, even a loose sentence describing the trip — and Zarparia turns it into a draft trip you can refine afterwards in the editor. It's a starting point, not a finished result; expect to tidy it up.
Your account page: export everything Zarparia holds about you as one file, or permanently delete your account. Reached from the sidebar (desktop) or the More sheet (mobile).
Open the trip and use Share. You can invite someone by email as a viewer or editor — they need to have signed in to Zarparia once before you can add them — or turn on a shareable link that grants view or edit access to anyone who has it, no sign-in required for viewing.
Opening a shareable link someone sent you shows the trip straight away if it's set to view access. If it grants edit access, or the link owner turned it off, you'll be asked to sign in first so Zarparia can check the invite is still valid.
From a trip's Photos panel, connect Google Photos and pick photos with Google's own picker — Zarparia only ever sees the exact photos you select, never your whole library. Picked photos are matched automatically to the right day by when they were taken; any that fall outside the trip dates land in an "unmatched" section you can move by hand.
Install Zarparia as an app (from your browser's "install" or "add to home screen" option) and it keeps a copy of your trips available without a connection. Visit a trip once while online to make sure it's cached; changes made offline sync once you're back online.
From the Account page, "Export my data" downloads a single JSON file with everything Zarparia holds about you: your profile, your trips, sharing records, feedback you've sent, and your photo records.
Also from the Account page — this is permanent and cannot be undone. Trips you own are deleted, including for everyone they were shared with; trips shared with you are simply removed from your access, not deleted. You'll be asked to type a confirmation before it happens.
The EN | PT switcher changes the app's own language (a trip's content can be in different languages again, independently). The theme control cycles light, dark and system. Both live in the sidebar on desktop and in the More sheet on mobile, and are remembered for next time.
Advanced/optional: Zarparia has an MCP connector that lets an AI assistant (for example, Claude) read and edit your trips on your behalf, once you approve the connection through a standard OAuth screen. Access tokens are stored hashed, and a pending account cannot use this even with a valid connection.
Use the feedback button — a speech-bubble icon in the sidebar (desktop) or the "More" sheet (mobile) — to send a bug report, an idea, or anything else. Your submissions are listed on the Feedback page (/feedback); deleting your account deletes them along with the rest of your data.
A single itinerary — one or more stops, each with its own days and schedule.
One day within a trip's schedule: a date, an optional title and note, and a list of timed blocks (places, activities, travel).
A single URL that grants access to a trip to anyone who has it, without naming individual people. Can be turned off, or switched between view and edit access, at any time by the trip owner.
The two roles a trip can be shared with: a viewer can read a trip but not change it; an editor can also add, edit and reorder its content. Only the owner can delete a trip or change who it's shared with.
A signed-in account that hasn't yet been approved by the operator. It can't read or create any trip, photo or feedback data until approved.
The public sample trip at /demo — fully interactive, requires no account, and never saves anything or touches real data.
