Navi · getting started

Ten minutes now, better weekends after.

Navi plans days and trips from the things you save — matched to your real free time. It never reads your calendar events and never writes to your calendar: it proposes, you decide.

1 · Sign in

Open the app and use Sign in with Google. Access is invite-only — if your email isn't recognized, ask Kevin to add you.

2 · Teach Navi your taste (this is the whole setup)

1. Save five things you've always wanted to do. A trail write-up, a restaurant list, an Instagram screenshot, a plain note — the + Add reference button takes a link, text, or an image, and Navi extracts the details itself. There are no forms about your "interests": what you save is your profile. Already have a list somewhere? Switch that dialog to Paste many links and drop the whole thing in at once — each link is saved on its own, so one page Navi can't read never costs you the rest.
2. Star your top two. Open a saved card and rate it — 4–5★ references always reach the planner.
3. Set your days off. Add upcoming free days (or import an .ics / prefill public holidays) so plans and weekend suggestions land inside time you actually have.
4. Confirm your home base. It's prefilled as San Francisco — tap the ✎ next to "home:" if that's wrong. It anchors travel times and suggestion radius.

3 · Plan something

Type what you want in the plan box — "a chill Saturday, no long drives" — and watch the progress log while Navi researches. Every stop cites its source. Lock stops you love, then revise with one instruction ("make the afternoon indoor"). Type / for modes: /from-my-list plans only from your saved references, /surprise-me ignores them, and /suggest asks what fits your next free window.

Capture from anywhere

• Chrome (desktop): download the "Clip to Navi" extension, unzip it, open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and pick the unzipped folder. The toolbar button clips the page you're on (with a note and 1–5 stars); right-click clips a link, selection, or image in one click.
• Android: in Chrome, open the app → menu → Add to Home screen. After that, Share → Navi from any app drops the link straight into your library.
• iPhone: Safari has no share target, so use the Send to Navi Shortcut — one-time setup below, then Share → Send to Navi from any app.

iPhone — the "Send to Navi" Shortcut

A one-time setup so Share → Send to Navi saves any link straight to your library. First mint a token, then build a tiny Shortcut that carries it.

1. Get a token. In the app, under home base open API access → New token, and copy the navi_pat_… it shows — it's shown only once.
2. New Shortcut. Open the Shortcuts app, tap +, and add the action Get Contents of URL.
3. Point it at Navi. Set the URL to https://navi-planner.fly.dev/references, then expand the action and set Method to POST.
4. Add two headers. Authorization with value Bearer navi_pat_… (paste your token after Bearer ), and Content-Type with value application/json. That's all — a Bearer token needs no CSRF header.
5. Send the shared link. Set Request Body to JSON, add a field named url, and set its value to the Shortcut's Shortcut Input. (Sharing plain text instead of a link? Use a text field.)
6. Put it on the share sheet. In the Shortcut's details, turn on Show in Share Sheet and accept URLs and Text. Name it Send to Navi.

Now Share → Send to Navi from Safari or any app drops the link into your references, and Navi extracts the details just like a desktop clip. To rotate or kill a token, revoke it under API access and mint a new one.

Privacy, in one breath

Your availability is stored as free/busy ranges only — never event names. Plans you share are read-only pages that show stops and their sources, nothing else. Nothing is public unless you explicitly share it.
