Gently Yonder · Ready Score Pro
Ready Score Pro is your personal, offline trip-readiness workbook — a live readiness score that climbs as you prepare, entry notes kept current for 2026, and trackers for documents, bookings, and packing. Set it up once; it saves in your browser and prints to a clean plan.
The free Ready Score on our homepage gets you started. Pro is the full workbook you keep for every trip — deeper, savable, printable, and aware of what's actually changing at the border right now.
Five things genuinely stop a trip — passport validity, entry authorisation, the visa itself, medical cover, and the first night booked. Leave any of them open and the dial turns red and names them, even at 97%. A readiness score that reads "ready" while the visa is undone is worse than no score at all. And it adapts: pick Family, Budget or Business and the checklist changes with you. Seven categories, and it adapts — pick Family, Budget or Business and the checklist changes with you. Seven categories — documents, money, connectivity, health, bookings, packing, arrival day. Tick items and your score climbs, with the gaps to close next always in view.
Every destination the free Ready Score covers, plus the Schengen area — including what the EU’s EES actually changed on 10 April 2026, and why ETIAS most likely does not apply to your trip yet. Every note carries the month it was checked, and if you open the file a year later it tells you so and says to re-check — a downloaded file cannot update itself, and pretending otherwise would be the dishonest part. Where we have not researched a destination's entry rules, it says that plainly instead of guessing. Destination-aware, kept current: Visit Japan Web and Japan's Nov 2026 tax-free change, Korea's K-ETA waiver through Dec 2026, Australia's ETA, and more — so you don't miss a rule that just changed.
Set your nights and it works out the on-the-ground total, for one traveller or two. For Japan and South Korea it offers the daily tiers from our own published cost research; for everywhere else it says plainly that we do not have that figure and asks for yours, rather than inventing one.
A passport-validity warning (the 6-month rule that gets people turned away), plus a place to keep visa, insurance, and confirmation numbers together.
A checklist that only says "sort out data" is half a tool. Each item links through to the guide that actually helps — and it changes with your destination: the Japan eSIM guide for Japan, the Europe one for the Schengen area, the JR Pass arithmetic and the Tokyo arrival plan only when they apply. Nine such links for Japan, four for somewhere we cover less.
A confirmation you can't produce at the desk isn't a confirmation. Each booking keeps its date and reference, sorted earliest first, and prints with the rest of your plan.
Log spending as you go and it is set against the estimate — what is left, or how far over you are. Most planners give you one or the other; the pair is what tells you anything.
One tap loads a starter list built for your destination — the right plug type, reef-safe sunscreen for the tropics, a sarong for Balinese temples, small cash for US tipping. Then make it yours: it adds only what is missing and never overwrites what you already put there. Simple running lists for what's booked and what's packed — no more "did I sort the airport transfer?" at 11pm.
Every task carries a "do this by" window. Set your departure date and the workbook stops being a list and becomes a plan — only what's actually due, most-overdue first. At 45 days out it will tell you the passport check is already late.
One click writes a small backup file you can restore here or on your phone. A workbook you rely on before a flight shouldn't vanish because you cleared your browser.
Once you are on the trip it stops counting down and keeps only what is genuinely still open; once you are home it says the trip is done rather than nagging you to book a hotel you already stayed in. Preparation advice has an expiry date, and most checklists ignore that.
Passports expire on different dates. Both are checked against your return date, because the six-month rule catches couples out constantly.
Nothing is uploaded and there is no account. If your browser refuses to save — a private window, or storage that is full — it tells you, instead of letting you fill in a workbook that quietly disappears when you close the tab. One file that works with no internet, saves everything in your own browser, and prints to a clean one-page plan. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Because they answer a different question. Trip-planner apps organise what you have already booked, or help you build a day-by-day itinerary. Notion-style planner templates give you a handsome set of empty tables to fill in. Both are useful. Neither of them knows anything: a template cannot tell you that Japan changed its tax-free process in November 2026, that Korea's K-ETA waiver runs to the end of 2026, or that the EU's ETIAS probably does not apply to your trip yet. And none of them will tell you that at 45 days out, the passport check you have not done is already late.
This is not an itinerary builder and it is not a journal. It answers one question properly: are you actually going to be allowed on this trip, and what is running late? One file, no account, no subscription, works on a plane.

If the free score is all you need, use the free score. Pro is for the trip you are actually taking.
Yes. The free version is a quick on-page taster. Pro is the full workbook — more categories and items, savable progress, document and booking trackers, a countdown, current 2026 entry notes, and printing. You keep it for every future trip.
A single file you download and open in any browser — on your laptop or phone. It runs offline and saves your progress on your own device.
We keep the destination notes current and date-stamped, but border rules change — the workbook always points you to the official source to confirm for your nationality. It's preparation guidance, not legal or immigration advice.
If it doesn't help you, reply to your receipt within 14 days and we'll refund you. We'd rather you feel it was worth it.
Ready Score Pro is a one-time purchase, delivered by our checkout partner. It is a preparation tool and does not guarantee entry to any country; always confirm current requirements for your nationality with official sources before you travel.
