Group trips, finally simple. Every trip starts the same way: a hundred messages, a dozen screenshots, and still no plan. Qafla is where planning actually turns into committing. Start a trip, a solo escape or the whole crew, and share one invite code. The big questions get decided together: destination, dates, budget, stay, vibe. Anyone can suggest, everyone votes, the group swipes, and the trip locks in. The group chat keeps everyone in one thread, the planning, the decisions, the hype, so nothing lives in screenshots again. And when you want a hand, Qafla AI is there. Entirely optional, always yours to invite: it can turn the group's votes into a day-by-day itinerary of verified places, swap anything, fill a quiet day, or jump into the group chat with a local's answer. Anything you've booked stays fixed, it plans around your commitments, never over them. Prefer to build every day yourself? The plan is yours either way. Explore rounds it out: find places near you or wherever you're headed, save favorites, and add anything straight to the plan. Trips are private and invite-only. From the first idea to the locked itinerary, it's planning and committing, together.
