Roadmap

Replay. Simulate. Explore.

Three phases, each useful on its own. Only the first is being built. The other two are proposals that may change or never ship, and nothing here is a promise of a feature or a date.

  • Phase 1 · in progress
  • Phase 2 · planned
  • Phase 3 · exploratory

Phases

From storytelling to a mobility sandbox.

Available released In progress being built Planned intended, not started Exploratory an idea under study

Phase 1 · In progress

Replay & Share

A standalone travel-diary storytelling app. Import a TripLibre export, pick a day, watch it again, and share a summary after reviewing what it reveals.

Done when a user can do all of that locally, with no account, no backend, and TripLibre not running.

  • Import from FilesIn progress

    Choose a TripLibre SQLite export with the iOS Files picker. The file is opened read-only.

  • Compatibility checkIn progress

    Check the database and its schema version before reading, and explain in plain words why a file can't be used.

  • Day picker & timelineIn progress

    List recorded days with their trip counts, then show a day's trips and stops in order.

  • Map replayIn progress

    Play, pause, restart and scrub. Recorded geometry when it exists; a clearly schematic line when only endpoints do.

  • Share card with redactionIn progress

    A static summary image. Hide or generalise start and end places and exact times, see the exact output, then share.

  • Video exportPlanned

    A short replay video. A candidate for the release after the first one.

Phase 2 · Planned

ReShape

An interactive sandbox for "what if?". Build alternative versions of a recorded day and set them next to the original.

A synthetic day is the output of a model and its assumptions. It is not observed behaviour and not a prediction of what any person will do.

  • Edit a dayPlanned

    Change departure times, stop durations, activity order and selected travel assumptions.

  • Agent-based simulationPlanned

    Explicitly parameterised agent-based or random (stochastic) simulation, with every parameter visible. In an agent-based model, a simulated traveller follows simple rules and the day emerges from them.

  • Synthetic labels everywherePlanned

    Every generated journey is marked synthetic on the map, the timeline and anything shared.

  • Compare with the originalPlanned

    Put a simulated day beside the recorded one; the recorded diary is never changed.

Phase 3 · Exploratory

Advisory

Decision support that you steer. You choose what matters and see the trade-offs; the app does not decide what an "optimal" day is.

No claims of real-world savings without validated inputs and models.

  • Your objectivesExploratory

    Time, distance, cost, emissions, convenience, or your own mix of priorities.

  • Your constraintsExploratory

    Respect activity schedules and other limits you set.

  • "Keep my original day" baselineExploratory

    Doing nothing is always one of the options, and every alternative is compared against the unchanged diary.

  • Explained resultsExploratory

    Show the assumptions, uncertainty and trade-offs behind every comparison.

Out of scope

What TripLibreLab will not become.

  1. A second TripLibreRecording location stays TripLibre's job. TripLibreLab only reads exports.
  2. A navigation appNo turn-by-turn directions and no live routing.
  3. A social networkNo accounts, feeds or cloud sync. Sharing is a file you choose to send.
  4. A life optimiserAlternatives come with their trade-offs; the choice stays yours.

Follow along

Built in the open.

Progress, issues and decisions live on GitHub. The wider HHT Diary plan, including TripLibre, is on the HHT Diary roadmap.
