What's New

What's new in Smart App 1.1.10

• Route Optimization — one tap arranges any day's stops for the shortest total drive • Offline Map Snapshots — every saved place gets a cached MapKit tile that works without Wi-Fi • PDF Trip Export — print or share a full itinerary with days, stops, budget and checklist • Live Trip Countdown — the menu bar now counts down to your next trip and shows your next reservation • Global Search (⌘F) — find any place, folder, trip, stop, reservation or note across your whole library • 3 more Shortcuts / Siri actions — "Add expense to my Rome trip", "Log a visit", "Route to a saved place" • URL scheme — deep-link into places, trips and searches from other apps (smartapp://…) • JSON export & import — full library backup and restore, from Settings → Data • Focus Filter — Smart App integrates with macOS System Settings → Focus to auto-filter places by context • Better paywall recovery — if the App Store can't load plans, Smart App now offers a retry and a graceful fallback so nobody gets stuck

Fixes: address bar now hints coordinates for backroads, more reliable "My Location", improved Print behaviour, and dozens of small polish improvements.
