Introduction

Voyalier is a local-first, evidence-backed trip workspace. It turns scattered confirmations, research, trip constraints, and half-made plans into a reviewed Blueprint, an honest readiness check, and a redaction-first brief.

The Voyalier Kyoto trip workspace with Today, pending suggestions, and a deterministic Blueprint.

How the Voyalier trip workspace works: a trip moves from setup through gathering sourced evidence, reviewing extracted facts, deterministic planning, offline preparation, travel-day use of the Today view, optional consented AI help, and redacted sharing.

The current public beta covers the full local trip loop: create and edit a trip; import confirmation text, HTML, email, or a local file; review every suggestion; check conflicts and readiness; save consented advice, weather, city packs, recommendations, and maps; search locally; travel with Today; protect sensitive evidence in the encrypted vault; and share a redacted brief.

Optional Ollama, OpenAI, and Anthropic assistance sits beside that loop. It adds guided setup, validated keys, editable instructions, lodging-date drafts, and an exact outbound-payload preview—but never replaces deterministic rules or the traveler’s review. The in-app updater is minisign-verified and carries checksums and build provenance. OS-signed installers still require paid platform certificates, so the packaged builds trip a one-time “unidentified developer” warning on first launch — Download and install covers that, and the from-source browser path, for every OS.

Product promise

Useful deterministic planning without an AI key.
Optional on-device or BYOK cloud intelligence.
Sources, freshness, confidence, and unknown states attached to factual claims.
Explicit review before extracted document facts change a trip.
Redaction before sharing.

Non-goals

Voyalier does not initially book travel, guarantee the cheapest inventory, scrape restricted sites, or issue authoritative visa or safety determinations.
