What's inside

Everything your group needs,
nothing it doesn't.

Built for real trips with real people — messy schedules, split opinions, and all.

🗳️
Vote on activities
Suggest ideas and let the group decide — from "must do" to "group blocker". The best options rise naturally, with no endless debates.
💸
Split expenses fairly
Log every cost, choose who paid, and split equally or by custom amounts. Balances always show exactly who owes what.
🛒
Real-time shared lists
Shopping lists, packing checklists — anything the group tracks. Everyone adds and checks off items simultaneously, in real time.
✈️
Transfer & flights
Suggest flights, vote on options, record bookings, manage car rentals, and assign who rides with whom — all in one place.
🔒
Encrypted travel documents
Passport and ID details stored behind biometric authentication, AES-256 encrypted. Share temporary organiser access and revoke it any time.
🗓️
Vacation tracker & calendar
A visual timeline of all planned activities, transfers, and check-ins — your vacation tracker displayed in the trip's timezone. See every day off at a glance.
💬
Group chat
A dedicated chat tab for every trip — message the whole group, edit or delete your own messages, and catch up instantly with real-time delivery. Organizers can moderate the conversation.
