Introducing Knapsack

Meet Knapsack, the personal travel organizer for Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard. Knapsack offers many user-friendly features including map pins with location postcards, a flexible itinerary planner, trip checklists, two-way iCal sync, and professional-looking printed itineraries.

Stick a pin on the map

Just as you might stick a pin on a map to mark a spot that you've visited, you can use the map in Knapsack to place pins that represent locations from your trips. Click on any pin to see a postcard from that location.

Create an itinerary for your next trip

With the flexible itinerary planner you can build an itinerary with as much or as little detail as you need. Shuffle activities between days or even rearrange entire days. When you return from your trip, add notes about what you liked or didn't like to create a memory of your trip.

Use checklists to store all of your to do items

As you plan your trip, use checklists to keep track of all your unfinished business. Create packing lists, shopping lists, or lists of all the things that you need to do before you leave. Check each item off as you complete it to track your progress. Never forget your toothbrush or camera again.

Sync your itinerary and checklists with iCal

v1.1

Sync your trip with a new or existing iCal calendar. Update your activities or to do items in iCal or Knapsack and the changes are immediately synchronized. Take your trip with you on your iPhone or other PDA and make changes while you're traveling. When you return and sync with iCal, your changes are automatically made in Knapsack. Alternatively, publish your trip to iCal with a one-way export.

Print your itinerary and go

Print a professional-looking itinerary to take with you. While you're at it, print a copy to leave behind for family and friends. You can even email your itinerary to anybody around the world.

Create Groups

Create your own groups to categorize your trips. Create a group called "Europe" and drag all your European vacations there. Or, use a group called "Business Trips" to organize those not-for-pleasure excursions.

Smart Groups

Built-in smart groups automatically show your upcoming, recent, unscheduled, and top-rated trips. Reliving your travel adventures has never been so organized.

Search Trips

As your trip library grows, search for specific trips by typing keywords into the search box. The map dynamically changes to display only the pins from matching trips.

Built-in Sample Trips

Knapsack ships with a number of built-in sample trips to whet your appetite. You can copy, modify, or delete these trips without worries; they can always be reloaded with a simple menu item.

Built-In Help

Use the help menu directly inside Knapsack to browse by category or search with keywords. You'll find easy-to-follow instructions for everything Knapsack can do for you.

Automatic Updating

Never worry about being out of date. Knapsack will check for the latest updates every time it's launched using the popular Sparkle framework.

Built for Leopard and Snow Leopard

Under the hood, Knapsack is a Universal Binary that runs on Intel and PowerPC Macs and uses a number of advanced Mac OS X technologies: Cocoa, Core Data, Garbage Collection and Objective-C 2.0 to name a few. What does this mean to you? Knapsack is built from the ground up on Apple's latest technology and will continue to advance with every new version of Mac OS X.
