RouteWrenPlan the route. Text the times. Show up.
RouteWren turns a list of names and addresses into a timed driving route, texts every appointment in one tap, and keeps the replies on each stop. No more juggling maps, calendars and texts.
No card needed. Every feature included. Works on any phone or computer.
Built for people on the road
If your day is a list of addresses and a lot of "does 10:30 work for you?", RouteWren is for you.
How it works
Add your stops
A name, an address and a phone number is all a stop needs. Type them in or paste a list from any spreadsheet.
Pick a day
RouteWren suggests stops that are close together, puts them in the shortest order and times every visit around the drive.
Text everyone at once
One tap sends each person their day and time. Replies land on their stop, and a "yes" is one tap to confirm.
Drive your day
Open the whole route in Google Maps, tick off visits, and fill any cancelled time with the nearest waiting stop.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Smart routes
Real drive times, the shortest order, and visit times that leave room for the drive. Texted times stay locked when you rebuild a day.
Booking by text
Your message, your wording. Confirmations, declines and new times are tracked on each stop, with follow-up texts in one tap.
Calendar & home view
See today's next stop, replies waiting, texts not sent yet, and the week ahead, all on one screen.
Bulk import
Paste or upload a list with names, addresses and phones. An optional reference # (job, order or file number) keeps things matched.
Works like an app
Add it to your home screen on Android or iPhone. Today's route still opens without signal.
Your data stays yours
Every account has its own separate database. We never sell your data or your customers' data.
Three ways to send texts
Pick what suits you. You can switch any time in Settings.
Manual
Free. No setup. RouteWren writes each text; you tap to send it from your own Messages app and mark it texted.
Your Android phone (httpSMS)
Automatic, from your own number. The free httpSMS app turns your Android phone into the sender. httpSMS is free for about 200 texts a month, with paid plans for more.
Twilio
Automatic, works with iPhone. Texts go out from a Twilio number you rent. Twilio charges per text and per number.
RouteWren is not affiliated with httpSMS or Twilio. If you use either, you open your own account with them and they bill you directly. Those costs are separate from, and in addition to, your RouteWren plan.
Pay for volume, not features
Every plan has every feature. You only pay for how many stops you put on routes each month.

Questions
What do I need to start?
A name, an address and a phone number for each stop. Add them one at a time or paste a list from any spreadsheet. The phone number is only needed for texting.
Do texts come from my own number?
With manual texting or the httpSMS option, yes: texts go out from your own phone and number, so people recognise you and replies come straight back. With Twilio, they come from a Twilio number you rent.
What does texting cost?
RouteWren doesn't charge per text. Manual texting is free. httpSMS is free for about 200 texts a month and has paid plans above that. Twilio charges per text and per number. If you use httpSMS or Twilio, they bill you directly; RouteWren is not affiliated with either.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes. RouteWren runs in your browser and can be added to your home screen on iPhone or Android. Automatic texting on iPhone uses the Twilio option; httpSMS needs an Android phone.
What counts as a stop?
A stop counts once in a month when you put it on a route dated in that month. Adding or importing stops is free, and moving a stop to another day in the same month doesn't count it twice.
What happens when the free trial ends?
No card is needed for the trial, so nothing is charged automatically. You can still see your stops and routes; pick a plan to keep scheduling and texting.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Cancel in Settings > Manage billing. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you've paid for.
Is my data private?
Each account's stops, routes and texts live in a separate database that no other account can reach. We don't sell data. You're responsible for having permission to text the people you add; see our Terms and Privacy Policy.
Spend less time booking and more time on the road
14 days free. No card. Cancel by doing nothing.
