Madeira Unfolded is a guide and planner for Madeira that looks like a travel journal and behaves like a local who checks the forecast for you. Hand-picked places, written properly, shot with care — assembled into a plan that quietly adjusts to your pace, the weather, and the state of the trails.
Days, base, how you'll get around, what pulls you, and — the one that changes everything — how you like to move. Each answer is a real choice with a consequence, written like a sentence rather than a checkbox.
From those five answers, Madeira Unfolded drafts a day-by-day plan — each day with a title, a one-line mood, and the shape of the day. It's a proposal, not a verdict: the app asks if you're happy before anything is set.
The map isn't the product — it's where the plan is shown. Pick a day from the rail; its stops drop onto Madeira, joined by a route line. A bottom sheet introduces the day. Tap a pin and the map zooms in close, the sheet swaps to the place.
A zoom-in to the spot, then a bottom sheet carrying the hand-written part: a real description, a film, a set of photos, and the live trail status. Madeira Unfolded never replaces navigation — it hands off to the map app you already use.
A near-level walk on a 18th-century water channel through the laurisilva, ending at a green basin under a tall fall. Bring a torch for the tunnels and a layer — the forest holds its damp.
Madeira Unfolded watches the forecast per-location. When rain rolls over a mountain day, it swaps in a sheltered alternative and shifts the original to the next clear window — then tells you plainly what it did and why, and lets you veto it.
Your ridge crossing moved to Day 6, when the forecast clears. The rest of the week shifted to match.
The plan stays yours to bend. Toggle what matters — more levadas, fewer hours driving, more slow coffee — and the week rebalances live. Add a specific trail you've set your heart on; Madeira Unfolded folds it in, then explains the trade.
Day 2 rebalanced — the Caniçal lunch stays, the afternoon viewpoint moved to golden hour so the heat is behind you.
Most guides stop at a directory. Madeira Unfolded gives a living plan — personal from the first screen, and honest about every change it makes on your behalf.
Real captured film and stills per place, the MapLibre 3D terrain build, the photographer/guide/transport request flows, and the offline pack for the spots with no signal.
Every screen above uses the same tokens, type, and motion rules as the product. The mockup and the brand stay one thing.
Flutter, Android-first with a macOS dev environment, iOS to follow. The map is embedded, not the product — navigation always hands off to the traveller's own app.
