From the WhatsApp group to the first kilometre: Périple organises multi-day sports trips with friends or family, by bike, on foot or by kayak. DECIDE TOGETHER • The crew: who's in, who's unsure, who can't make it. Everyone can see it. • The dates: everyone suggests dates and votes. No more 400 messages. • The route: day-by-day stages, with GPX tracks from Komoot or elsewhere. PLAN WITHOUT STEPPING ON EACH OTHER'S TOES • The nights: places to stay suggested, voted on, then "It's booked" in one tap, with the Booking link. • The gear: one stove, not four. Everyone sees who brings what, and keeps their own list. • The vault: tickets, bookings and documents, for the whole crew. GO • The big day: today's plan, the crew's phone numbers and emergency contacts, even with no signal. • The budget: everyone's expenses and who owes how much to whom. • The journal: every evening, the trip writes itself, with photos. • Family and friends: a link to follow the trip, no account needed. Notifications tell the crew when dates are suggested, when the dates are set, when a place to stay is suggested or booked, and when someone joins the trip. Komoot traces. Booking books. Périple coordinates. Free, no ads.
