A planning canvas for travel
Plan and keep track of your trip in one place.
Plan and keep track of your trip in one place with TripCal, where ideas, research, and bookings live together. Compare options on your own terms, keep every candidate alive, and shape the winners into real days.
The calendar
Days are the unit of a trip.
Each day answers four questions: where you are, where you sleep, how you move, and what you're doing. Confirmed bookings and open questions share the same grid, so the real state of the trip is always in view.

How it works
A trip takes shape in three moves.
01
Collect every maybe
Capture ideas the moment they show up: destinations, dates, links, screenshots, prices. Nothing needs an answer yet.
02
Compare on your terms
Line candidates up against the criteria you actually care about: cost, season, travel time, vibe. Weak options fall away on their own.
03
Commit to days
Winners land on the calendar and become an itinerary. Everything else stays saved, because trips change and drafts are cheap.
The workspace
Built for the unglamorous middle of planning.
One source of truth
Reservations, routes, costs, notes, and links in one place. The trip stops living in eleven tabs, a spreadsheet, and three group chats.
Planned together
Invite the group. Everyone works on the same board and the same calendar, from the first idea to the final itinerary.
Costs stay attached
Prices live on the stays, trains, and tickets they belong to, so you can see what any version of the trip really costs.
Plan B stays alive
Keep alternates and undecided candidates around for as long as you want. Deciding means picking one, not deleting the rest.
The AI part
A copilot for the busywork.
TripCal's AI works alongside you while you plan. Paste a link and it becomes a structured card with dates and prices. Ask it to classify hotels by what you care about, propose a route through your shortlist, or draft a first version of a day. Everything it produces is a proposal you can edit, keep, or throw away.
Things you can hand it
- Parse pasted links into structured cards
- Classify hotels and stays by your criteria
- Propose routes and day-by-day drafts
- Summarize and compare your research
Proposals, not decisions. The calendar stays yours.
