What the ? in the navbar opens, what an overview and a guide contain, how the
search and the screen switcher work, where the pictures come from and what
happens on a screen that has no help yet. Linked from the sidebar, from the
features list and from In-App-Help, which documents the other thing and was
being confused with it.

TREK Wiki

TREK is a self-hosted, real-time collaborative travel planner licensed under AGPL-3.0.

Dashboard

Features

Planning

  • Drag & Drop Planner: organize places into day plans with reordering and cross-day moves
  • Interactive Map: Leaflet map with photo markers, clustering, route visualization, and customizable tile sources
  • Place Search: TREK's own place index and OpenStreetMap, asked together, with no API key and no quota; Google or Amap answer only where both come up empty (see TREK Places API)
  • Day Notes: timestamped, icon-tagged notes per day
  • Route Optimization: auto-optimize place order and export to Google Maps
  • Weather Forecasts: 16-day forecasts via Open-Meteo (no API key required), historical climate averages as fallback

Travel Management

  • Reservations & Bookings: track flights, accommodations, restaurants with confirmation numbers and file attachments
  • Budget Tracking: category-based expenses with pie chart, per-person/per-day splitting, multi-currency support (see Currencies)
  • Packing Lists: category-based checklists with user assignment, templates, and progress tracking
  • Document Manager: attach documents, tickets, and PDFs to trips, places, or reservations (up to 50 MB per file)
  • Document Sync (admin-enabled): keep a trip's documents in step with a self-hosted Paperless-ngx, Papra, Nextcloud, OpenCloud or Synology NAS, in both directions, under one connection the trip owner sets up for every member (see Document Sync)
  • PDF Export: export complete trip plans as PDF with cover page, images, and notes

Collaboration

  • Real-Time Sync: WebSocket-based live sync; changes appear instantly for all connected users
  • Multi-User: invite members with role-based access
  • Invite Links: registration links with configurable max uses (1 to 5, or unlimited) and expiry
  • OIDC SSO: sign in with Google, Apple, Authentik, Keycloak, or any OIDC provider
  • Two-Factor Authentication: TOTP-based 2FA with QR code setup
  • Passkeys (admin-enabled): passwordless WebAuthn sign-in with Touch ID, Windows Hello, Android screen lock, or a hardware key; owning one also satisfies the require-2FA policy (see Passkeys)
  • Public Share Links: share a read-only view of any trip

Addons (admin-toggleable)

  • Lists: packing lists and to-dos with templates, member assignments, optional bag tracking
  • Costs: expense tracker with category breakdown, splits, multi-currency
  • Documents: file manager for trips, places, and reservations
  • Collab: group chat, shared notes, polls, day-by-day attendance
  • Road trip: plan a trip as one continuous drive, with search along the route, driving limits, daily travel times and avoidance of toll roads, motorways and ferries (see Road Trip)
  • Vacay: personal vacation day planner with calendar view, public holidays, and carry-over tracking
  • Atlas: interactive world map, bucket list, travel stats, continent breakdown
  • Collections: a personal place library that saves places across trips into named lists, copies them into any trip, and shares them with per-member roles (see Collections)
  • Journey: magazine-style travel journal with entries, photos (via Immich/Synology Photos), maps, and moods
  • Naver List Import: import places from shared Naver Maps lists
  • MCP: expose TREK to AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol (OAuth 2.1)
  • AirTrail: sync flights from your self-hosted AirTrail instance into trips
  • Dawarich: read the stays and routes your self-hosted Dawarich instance recorded, offered as suggestions you confirm; nothing is written back (see Dawarich)
  • AI Parsing: LLM fallback that extracts bookings from confirmation files KDE Itinerary cannot read (see AI-Booking-Import)

Dashboard widgets (currency converter and timezone clock) are per-user preferences, not an admin-toggleable addon; see Dashboard-Widgets.

The full addon table, with type and per-addon notes, lives in Addons-Overview.

Plugins

  • Sandboxed Plugin Runtime: third-party plugins run in a forked child process with permission-gated RPC, install-time manifest and signature checks, and an egress allowlist (see Plugins)
  • Plugin SDK: build and publish plugins with the trek-plugin-sdk npm package, with dev server, preflight, signing and submit (see Plugin-Development)

AI / MCP Integration

  • MCP Server: built-in Model Context Protocol server with OAuth 2.1 authentication
  • 150+ Tools: create trips, plan itineraries, manage budgets, send messages, and more
  • 30 Resources: read-only trek:// URIs for trips, days, places, budget, packing, journeys, and more
  • 35 OAuth Scopes: granular permissions across 17 permission groups
  • Pre-built Prompts: trip-summary, packing-list, and budget-overview context loaders

Help

  • Help Center: the ? in the navbar opens guides for the screen you are on, with a picture of every step and search across guides and the wiki, in every language TREK speaks (see Help Center)
  • In-App Help: the whole wiki, bundled with your install and read inside TREK at /help (see In-App Help)

Admin

  • User management, invite links, packing templates, global categories
  • Addon management, API key storage, scheduled auto-backups
  • System notices for onboarding and announcements, including a release notes notice every user sees once after each update (see Admin-GitHub-Releases)

Admin: Most configuration lives in the Admin Panel. On first boot TREK seeds an admin account automatically: credentials come from ADMIN_EMAIL / ADMIN_PASSWORD if set, otherwise a random password is printed to the container log.
