Frequently asked questions
▸How does the passport expiry alert work?
Enter your passport and visa expiry dates and your departure date — the checklist flags documents expiring before or within six months of departure (the rule many countries enforce for entry).
▸What are the phases?
Tasks are grouped into three phases: 2+ weeks out (documents, bookings, vaccinations), week-of (money, packing, arrangements), and day-before (house prep, devices, last checks).
▸Is my passport data uploaded anywhere?
No. Only the expiry dates are stored, and only in your own browser's localStorage — nothing is ever sent to a server.
