Palmier
Read full descriptionHide full description
Organizing a trip with friends often means more messages than memories. Palmier brings together a shared itinerary, group chat, collaborative journal, and clear expenses - from the first message to the last memory. You want to travel together. Then things scatter: ideas across multiple threads, links you can't find, a "we'll figure it out on site" schedule, and a budget file nobody updates. It's not the group that's the problem - it's the tool (or the lack of one). Palmier is built for friend trips that are hard to keep on track: one place to prepare, live, and wrap up the trip, without spreadsheets or scattered conversations. Why groups get lost - Everyone has a different version of the trip in their head - Decisions buried in the chat - Useful info (addresses, times, tickets) lost in screenshots - Money mixed up: who paid what, who owes whom Palmier gets the group back on the same page. Shared itinerary: the single source of truth - Build a day-by-day plan: stops, activities, notes, times, addresses, links, restaurant or sightseeing ideas, constraints (luggage, bookings, transport). - City weekend, week abroad, or multi-stop road trip: the itinerary evolves with your discussions. - No more forgotten Excel files or "what did you say again?" Built-in chat: decide without switching apps - Quick questions, decisions to make, polls, links to share, daily updates. Everyone sees the same thread - Before you leave (accommodation, activities, budget) - On the ground when plans change. Less "did you see my message?", more time to enjoy the trip. Collaborative journal: the emotional side of the trip - Photos, stories, highlights: every member can contribute. - A group memory, not just a list of activities. - Perfect after you get back, when the little stories fade fast. Shared expenses: clear, without tension - Personal spending and group advances. - Who owes what to whom, simplified reimbursements. - Perfect for shared vacation rentals, carpooling, road trips (fuel, accommodation, activities taking turns). The goal: finish the trip with a clear conscience about the money. Why Palmier - Simple interface, easy to get started - Sync: everyone aligned on schedule and budget - Also for couples and families who want one place for everything - No intrusive ads Who is it for? Friends, shared vacation rentals, extended family, teams or colleagues: whenever you're traveling together and organization gets heavy. Getting started 1. Create the trip and invite the group 2. Dates, destination(s), overall budget if needed 3. Build the itinerary as ideas come in, chat to decide, track expenses from the first bookings The earlier you centralize info, the less you scramble to piece it together the night before you leave. Download Palmier, invite your crew, and start your next trip with friends. Plan, share, enjoy. Terms EULA https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
