What is Paths?
Paths is an iPhone and iPad app, first released in July 2026, that turns travel inspiration into itineraries. You paste a link, screenshot or text and its AI extracts the places and builds a trip; you can then set start and end points for a suggested route, see maps with live weather and transit information, and plan with friends in real time. A recent update added a 'Fact Check' tool for checking an itinerary.
Cost: Free (No paid plan listed). Booking: Not confirmed by the provider. Works on: iPhone.
Best for: Travellers who save trip ideas from social media and want them turned into a mapped plan quickly.
