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.
Stop chasing screenshots, calendar invites, and "wait, what time?" messages. Every trip lives in a shared view — dates, places, costs — that updates for the whole crew in real time.
Friend sends an Instagram reel of a restaurant in Tokyo? Paste it in. Tripbuds reads the post, pulls the place, and asks where to save it. No more "what was that place called again?"
Tell Tripbuds where, when, vibe, and any must-haves or no-gos. Get a full day-by-day draft you can tweak together — no more one person doing all the work.
Not a chatbot. A planner that asks the right questions, then drafts something you and the crew can actually edit.
City, dates, who's coming. 15 seconds.
Foodies? Hikers? Late risers? Pick the energy.
One must-do, one no-go per traveller. Easy.
Day-by-day plan with real places. Edit by chatting.
Tripbuds is in active development. We're founder-led from Sydney, designing every screen with real travellers, and shipping for late 2026.

We're targeting a public launch in late 2026. Waitlist members get TestFlight (iOS) and Play Console (Android) early access a few months before that.
Yes. Tripbuds is free to use during beta and for the foreseeable future after launch. We earn commission when you book places (hotels, tours, restaurants) through the app — only if you choose to book through us.
We're launching Australia-first because that's where we live and can support users best. New Zealand, UK, and US follow. The app works for trips anywhere — you just need to be based in a supported country to sign up at launch.
Tripbuds asks four short questions (where, when, vibe, must/never), then drafts a real day-by-day plan using real places. Every suggestion is a bookable, verifiable spot — not a hallucination. You can edit any day by chatting ("swap the museum for a beach day"), and the AI respects what your crew already voted yes or no on.
Your trips are private by default — only your crew sees them. We never sell your data. We don't train AI models on your messages. Full privacy policy will be published before launch; happy to share the draft if you ask.
Those are general tools. Tripbuds is built for the specific mess of group travel: shared itinerary, splitting costs, voting on places, extracting links friends share, and AI that drafts the plan. It's the difference between a blank doc and a planner that knows what you need.
