Plan every trip of your year in one place: what each trip will cost, how much to set aside each month, a day-by-day itinerary, a packing checklist and a live countdown to your next getaway.

Made for families, couples and friends who plan two, five or twelve trips a year and want to see the whole travel year at a glance.

What's inside

  • Start Here

    Your home city, currency symbol, usual number of travelers, your own exchange rates, categories and the names of who travels with you

  • Dashboard

    A boarding pass for your next trip with a days-to-go countdown, your travel year on a timeline, total budget vs spent, cost per person per day, how much to set aside each month and a short "before you go" list

  • Trips

    Up to 12 trips with dates, nights, travelers, budget, money saved and a status for each (Dreaming, Upcoming, Next up, Traveling, Home)

  • Trip Budget

    Plan each trip by category (flights, places to stay, food, things to do and more), see what's left, per person and per day, plus a settle-up for shared trips

  • Expense Log

    Log spending in any currency; your rate turns it into your home currency, with who paid and whether it's shared

  • Itinerary

    Day-by-day plans with times, places, costs and booking deadlines (Booked, To book, Book soon, Book now)

  • Packing List

    A checklist by category and traveler, with what's packed and what you still need to buy

  • Trip Sheet

    One printable page with your trip's days, plans and packing progress

Why you'll like it

  • See your whole travel year at once, not one trip at a time
  • Know what to set aside each month so every trip is paid for before you leave
  • Spend in pesos, euros or dollars: type the rate from your card statement and everything adds up in your home currency
  • Never miss a booking deadline: plans turn amber, then red, as the book-by date gets close
  • Splitting a trip with friends? The settle-up shows who pays whom, in one line per person
  • Statuses update by themselves from your dates; a sample date shows every feature in the demo
  • Built by a data analyst: every number is a formula you can follow. No subscription, no app
