Tiao เที่ยว

Android · for frequent business travellers

Land in a new country and get the stuff you always look up, fast.

Tiao (Thai เที่ยว, “take a trip”) puts your arrival answers on one screen: what’s this in my money, what time is it back home, when’s sunset, how’s my flight. Built to work on a bad arrival connection.

What Tiao actually does

Everything here ships in the app today. No vapourware.

  • Currency, with quick-append and favourites

    Type an amount in the country you’re in and see your target currencies at a glance. Add as many as you like with the quick-append button, and keep the ones you use pinned as favourites.

  • Time zones for your cities

    Your current local time plus the cities you’ve added — home, the office, the next stop — side by side, so you know who’s awake before you call.

  • Sunrise and sunset

    Sunrise, sunset, solar noon, day length and both golden hours for where you are, computed on the device — no API, so it works offline.

  • Weather for where you are

    Current conditions and a 7-day forecast from a keyless source: temperature, feels-like, rain chance, wind and humidity. Pick °C or °F in Settings.

  • Flight status optional

    Look up a flight by number for status, delays and scheduled or estimated times in each airport’s local time, plus terminal and gate when known. It needs a free provider key, so it stays honestly “not configured” until you add one.

  • Pinnable bottom navigation

    Choose which pages pin to the bottom bar and in what order. Settings always stays within reach, and unpinned pages sit one row above so nothing is lost.

  • Colour themes, light and dark

    Default, Gruvbox, Dracula and Solarized — each with a light and a dark variant. The title-bar toggle switches mode within your chosen palette.

  • Useful offline

    Exchange rates are cached on the device and Tiao shows when they were last updated; sunrise and sunset are computed locally, no network needed.

Four palettes, two modes each

Pick a palette in Settings; the title-bar toggle switches between its light and dark variant. Colours are chosen to stay readable (WCAG AA) in both.

  • Default

    The app’s original teal-and-sun look.

  • Gruvbox

    Warm, retro, easy on the eyes.

  • Dracula

    High-contrast and playful.

  • Solarized

    Calm, low-contrast and precise.

How it works

  1. Tell Tiao where you are

    On first run it asks for coarse location to set your country, currency and city — or you can pick them by hand. Your choice sticks.

  2. The answer is on the first screen

    Currency is home. Type an amount and see your saved currencies instantly; everything else is one tap away on the bottom bar.

  3. Glance, then go

    Time zones, sunset, weather and flights share the same navigation, so the thing you need is always where you left it — even on a slow connection.
