How it works

From inbox to itinerary in three steps

1

Forward your booking email

Each trip gets a unique inbound address. Forward confirmation emails from Booking.com, airlines, tour operators — anything.

2

AI extracts the details

Claude Haiku reads the email and pulls out dates, addresses, amounts, and confirmation numbers. You review — nothing is saved silently.

3

Your itinerary updates

Confirm and the booking appears in your timeline, on your map, and in expenses — synced for everyone on the trip instantly.

Features

Everything your group needs

No subscription per person. No bloat. Just the things you actually need on a trip.

The killer feature

Inbox review — AI parses, you decide

Forward a Booking.com confirmation or a flight receipt. Claude Haiku reads it, extracts every detail, and presents it for your review. One tap to confirm. Nothing enters your itinerary without your say-so.

  • ✓ Dates, times, addresses, confirmation numbers
  • ✓ Amounts and currencies auto-detected
  • ✓ Works with any email source

Interactive map — pin every idea

Every accommodation, restaurant, and activity is automatically geocoded and pinned. Shortlist places before you go, confirmed bookings appear automatically.

  • ✓ OpenStreetMap — no API key, no usage limits
  • ✓ Confirmed vs shortlisted shown differently
  • ✓ Works offline once loaded

Receipt OCR — snap and track

Take a photo of any receipt. Claude Vision reads the amount, currency, merchant, and date. No manual entry. Multi-currency tracked against your trip budget.

  • ✓ Works with any currency
  • ✓ Auto-categorises spend
  • ✓ Linked to trip items automatically when parsed from email

The stack

Proudly built on Ruby on Rails 8

No microservices. No separate frontend. No Docker Compose maze. Rails 8 full-stack — server-rendered with Hotwire for reactive UI, Solid Queue for background jobs, SQLite as the database. One server, one process, runs quietly on a $6/mo VPS.
