In development · Launching late 2026

Group travel,
made easy.

Tripbuds turns chaotic group chats into a shared plan everyone can see, edit, and book — so the trip happens instead of dying in a thread.

“The best travel agents are the people who have been there.”

Discover real trips from real travellers. Save them to your own My trips. Build day-by-day itineraries with the people you’re actually going with.

Three problems. One app.

Stop planning trips in seven different threads.

Group travel falls apart in the same three places every time. Tripbuds fixes all three in one shared plan.

01

One plan, everyone on it.

Invite the crew once. Edit the same itinerary, see the same changes, ask questions in-trip. No screenshots, no "latest version?", no one missing the day-one plan.

02

Drop a link. Get a saved place.

Paste a Booking.com hotel, an Instagram reel, a Time Out review — Tripbuds reads the page, finds the place on the map, and slots it into the right day of your trip.

03

Book it from the same screen you planned it on.

Stays open right in the trip with live prices. Tap Book and you're on Booking.com — Tripbuds earns a small commission at no extra cost to you, so we don't sell your data.

How it works

Build your plan in four steps.

Tell Tripbuds the basics. It drafts a day-by-day plan you and your buds can edit, book, and live by.

Step 1

Pick your dates.

Start and end. Tripbuds builds a plan that fits exactly that window — no padding, no skipped days.

Step 2

Choose the vibe.

Beach & chill, food first, city explore, nature, nightlife. Pick a few — Tripbuds leans every suggestion towards them.

Step 3

Add must-haves and skip-its.

Disneyland for the kids. No early starts. Ramen tasting, yes — crowded tourist traps, no. Your rules become part of the plan.

Step 4

Get a day-by-day plan you can book.

A shared trip your buds can edit, with stays you can book in-app, a chat for every change, and a budget that splits as you go.

Real stays. Real prices. Real bookings.

Booking happens where the planning happens.

Every stay in a Tripbuds plan is a live, bookable hotel — pulled from Booking.com with real photos, real reviews, real availability. Tap Book and you go straight to Booking.com to confirm.

Public profiles. Public itineraries.

Follow the buds whose trips you actually want to copy.

Every bud gets a public profile. Every trip can be made public with one tap. Save the ones you love straight into your own My trips and reshape them around your dates, your buds, your budget.

Public profiles

A simple page per bud — bio, home city, the trips they’ve made public. Follow the travellers whose taste you trust and see their new trips as they publish.

Public itineraries

Real day-by-day plans with the stays, food spots and activities that actually worked. Open any public trip, hit Save this trip, and it lands in your My trips ready to edit — dates, buds, budget, all yours to change.

Share the plan, not the chaos

One link your whole crew can see.

Share to WhatsApp, Messenger, Messages, email — or save the whole trip as a PDF. A public link anyone can view, but only your buds can edit.
