Travel Planner · Web · Prototype
Plan and budget your holiday.
Import an itinerary, compare the flights and the places to stay, and see what’s left to spend once they’re paid for. Then fill the days with the places you actually want to visit.

Why I built it · 01
I built this to help people easily compare their travel options and budget when it comes to flights and accommodation. I wanted to be able to track expenses as I went, and add places to visit to a daily calendar — one place for the whole trip instead of a folder of bookmarks.
What it does · 02
Flight planner
Enter the destination and the planner finds the flights.
Accommodation finder
The planner finds accommodation in the area of your destination.
Budgeting
Enter your budget and the planner tells you how much you can spend after flights and accommodation, then tracks expenses as you enter them.
Places to visit
The planner finds and lists places to visit, then lets you add them to a daily calendar.
Now a real app: TripPlot · 02.1
After three months of testing, this prototype grew up. TripPlot launched on 27 September 2026 — the same idea with your own account, as many trips as you like, a travel journal and the people you travel with on the same plan. Pro is free until 30 November 2026.
A prototype, not a product · 02.2
This is the working prototype, built for one trip. It stays online so you can see where TripPlot started. Prices and costs it shows are estimates for planning — it isn’t financial advice, and you make the bookings yourself.
Questions · 03
Can I use it now?
You can open the prototype and look around — the itinerary, places and daily planner are public. Editing the plan and the budget is switched on for the trip owner only, because it was built for one traveller.
Which currencies does it handle?
Expenses are logged in the currency you paid in and shown in your home currency. The prototype works in Australian dollars and Thai baht; any currency is the plan for the web app.
Is it financial advice?
No. It’s a planning tool. The numbers are your numbers, and the flight and hotel prices are estimates until you book.
Can I plan my own trip with it?
Yes — with TripPlot, the production version of this prototype. Sign up free at tripplot.io.
Will there be an iPhone app?
Yes — a native iPhone and iPad app for TripPlot is in development, built in Swift and SwiftUI like my other apps.
