“Are we there yet?” — the app that answers for you

On the back seat, the question comes every fifteen minutes. Rather than answering it a hundred times, you can make the kids a little app that shows them the journey, the stages passed and how much is left. A perfect example of what Blueprint Maker allows: an everyday idea turned into a real application.

Generate this application

The description is already written — free sign-up, then it's waiting for you in the composer.

A trivial wish that exists in no catalogue

Nobody is going to code an “are we there yet?” app for a single family weekend, and no vendor sells one. It's exactly the kind of small idea that stays in your head for lack of a tool — too specific, too personal, too fleeting to justify a development.

That's precisely where Blueprint Maker changes things: what wasn't worth a developer becomes an application in minutes, described in your own words.

Your journey, described then generated

Describe the idea: “I want a little app for my kids in the car. The journey has stages (towns, rest areas, landmarks) with a distance from the start. I want to tick off the stages passed and see the percentage covered and what's left. We can add little spotting games per stage.”

Blueprint Maker generates the matching application: the journey's stages with their distance, progress tracking, and whatever you want to add — landmarks to find, points scored, mini-games.

It's your idea that draws the application, not a template: the structure follows exactly what you describe.

  • Journey stages with distance from the start
  • Stages ticked off as you go
  • Progress: covered / remaining
  • Landmarks or spotting games per stage
  • A simple view, readable by a child

Open on the phone, handed to the back

The application is a web application at its dedicated address: open it on a phone and pass it to the back. With each stage passed, the progress bar advances — and “are we there yet?” finally gets a visual answer.

Nothing to install, nothing to set up from an app store: a link, and it's ready for the road.

Free, and above all an example

The Discovery plan (€0) is plenty for this kind of little application. It's as much a tool as a demonstration: if an idea this trivial can become an application in minutes, so can yours.

And like everything Blueprint Maker generates, it belongs to you — to keep, to change for the next trip, or to redo at will.

Frequently asked questions — journey app

Do I need to know how to code to create this app?

No, that's the whole point: you describe the idea in plain language, validate a plan, and the application is generated — without writing a line of code.

Is it a GPS?

No: it's not a navigation tool but a journey companion for the kids — the stages and progress YOU define, to make the road readable and fun.

Can I reuse it for another trip?

Yes: the application is yours. You can change the stages for the next journey, or reuse its structure as is.

Do I have to install it?

No: it's a web application at its URL, opened in the phone's browser. Nothing to install.

Is it really free?

Yes: the Discovery plan lets you generate this kind of application without paying.
