COLLECT IDEAS FROM ANYWHERE Trips rarely start in one place. Save places from Google Maps, import an itinerary from ChatGPT or Claude, paste links and messages, upload files, or invite friends to suggest places. Everything arrives in one trip, ready to organize when you are. ORGANIZE YOUR POSSIBILITIES Save places as Pins with photos, hours, maps, and useful details. Add notes, tags, and attachments so you remember what interested you. Filter and sort your Pins as the trip takes shape, while keeping other possibilities nearby for later. BUILD AN ITINERARY THAT WORKS Arrange your trip in a familiar calendar view, then open the map to see how each day fits together. Check routes and travel times between stops, optimize the order of your day, and open Apple Maps, Google Maps, Uber, or Lyft when it is time to go. PLAN TOGETHER Invite friends or family to collaborate on the same trip. Add places, adjust plans, and see one another’s changes as they happen. SHARE YOUR TRIP BEAUTIFULLY Turn your itinerary into a clean, shareable webpage that anyone can open—no PinTrips account or app required. Choose what to include, select a layout, and keep the shared page automatically updated as your plans change. KEEP IMPORTANT DETAILS TOGETHER Use the Notebook for confirmations, attachments, lists, and trip notes. You can also see forecasts, typical seasonal weather, time until departure, trip length, and a summary of your plans. STAY INFORMED—EVEN OFFLINE Keep important trip details close at hand. View detailed forecasts and typical seasonal weather for your destination, and download maps and routes before you leave so you can stay oriented without a connection. Your Notebook also keeps confirmations, attachments, lists, and notes together in one place. PinTrips supports light and dark mode, so your plans remain comfortable to view wherever the trip takes you.

Group trips are way more fun than group chats. SyncUp is the easiest way to plan a getaway with friends — no more scrolling through fifty messages to find the Airbnb link. Start by creating a trip and picking a vibe: road trip, outdoors, city, coastal, or cruise. Share your 6-character invite code and everyone joins from their own phone with Apple or Google sign-in. No accounts to manage, no spreadsheets, no chaos. Once your crew is in, the fun part begins. Friends RSVP yes, no, or TBD, and vote on dates and lodging options with per-person cost estimates built right in, so you always know what everyone's paying before you book. Can't agree on dates? Open an availability poll and everyone marks the days they're free, maybe, or busy. SyncUp turns it into a color-coded calendar and finds the stretch that works for the most people. See your whole guest list at a glance, grouped by invited, accepted, TBD, and declined. Build a shared day-by-day itinerary together, so beach days, hikes, and dinner reservations live in one synced plan instead of a dozen texts. View every stop on a map, and add your trip dates, check-in, check-out, and activities straight to your calendar. Split costs without the awkward math. Guests submit expenses, the host approves them, and at the end of the trip everyone sees exactly who owes what, with friendly in-app reminders to settle up. Keep packing and grocery lists shared and synced so nobody doubles up on sunscreen or forgets the s'mores. Add your own personal packing list too, with local reminders leading up to departure. When you arrive, everything you need lives in one stay details hub: address, Wi-Fi password, check-in and check-out times, house notes, and a link to the shared photo album for capturing memories. SyncUp has no subscriptions and no in-app purchases — just one simple plan for your whole group. Stop juggling group chats and start planning your next getaway together. Download SyncUp and get everyone on the same page, synced up and ready to go.
