TripBuddy plans your trip by talking to you. Tell Buddy where you're going and how you want your days to feel — a lazy morning, a foodie crawl, a sunrise hike — and it builds an itinerary you'd actually want to follow. Not a generic list of the top ten sights. A real plan, in the right order, built around opening hours, travel times, and what you actually enjoy — every stop checked against real map data. PLAN BY TALKING Type or just say what you want. Buddy asks the questions a friend who knows the city would ask: Are you morning people? Is anyone vegetarian? What have you already booked? Change your mind at any point and your itinerary adapts with you. YOUR WHOLE DAY AT A GLANCE Every day has one simple overview with the highlight, your route on a map, numbered stops, and a timeline with times. Open a day to see the full plan, including how long it takes to get from one stop to the next. EVERY STOP HAS A STORY Tap any stop to see what makes it worth visiting, opening hours, a photo, and why it fits into your day. Want to know more? Ask Buddy for the longer story and listen while you walk. WITH YOU ON THE TRIP On travel days, your home screen knows what's next: what's done, what's happening now, and what's coming up — with directions one tap away. Widgets and a Live Activity keep your next stop on your lock screen, and every day has a one-minute audio summary you can listen to while you walk. MULTI-CITY TRIPS Hamburg, then Copenhagen, then Berlin? Tell Buddy when you'll be in each city and it plans every part of the trip separately, while giving you a quick introduction to each destination along the way. PLAN TOGETHER Share your trip with friends — everyone sees the same, always-current itinerary. BOOK FROM YOUR PLAN If a place can be booked online, you'll find the booking link directly on its page. USEFUL WHILE YOU TRAVEL TripBuddy also includes a phrasebook, currency converter, and a passport that fills up as you explore new places. ABOUT THE AI TripBuddy uses AI to help create your itinerary. Before your first conversation, you'll see a one-time notice explaining how it works, and nothing is sent to an AI model before you've seen it. AI can make mistakes, so always double-check important details such as opening hours, prices, and bookings. PRIVACY You don't need an account to start planning. Your trips are yours. Nothing you write is sold or used for advertising, and you can delete your account and associated data directly from the app.
