Travel Keeper® is the family trip planner for people who already know where they're going. It gets the whole itinerary out of your screenshots and spreadsheets and into one place, organizing your flights, hotels, confirmations, costs, and the points and certificates you worked hard to earn. No ads, no tracking, no account needed to start. MADE BY A MOM AND TRAVEL ADVISOR Travel Keeper® is built by Megan Condello, a mom and family travel advisor who's visited 24 countries and 36 U.S. states with her three kids. It's her trip-planning brain in app form: the messy, high-functioning system she's used for years. WHAT TRAVEL KEEPER® DOES • Plan trips with a 13-step booking timeline. From 'decide on dates' to 'passport check' to 'book the rental car.' Never miss a window again. • Track every detail. Flights, hotels, activities, transfers, meals, and notes, day by day, with confirmation numbers and addresses. • Costs the way points-and-miles families pay. Cash, points, mixed redemptions, Free Night Certificates, and card credits (Cap One, Citi, Amex). See exactly what you spent, and saved. • Year-View brag stats. "Saved $8,400 with points." "Used 3 free night certs." "$1,200 in credits used." • Family Profiles. Save each member's loyalty programs and track passport expiry with the 6-month international rule (US, Canada, UK, Australia). • A home-screen widget counting down to your next trip, with an optional photo behind it. • Loyalty programs and balances. Member numbers masked by default; track 30+ airline, hotel, and flexible programs (Chase UR, Amex MR, Citi TYP, Bilt). • Wishlist for future trip ideas. Park "Maybe Greece next summer" daydreams with must-dos, must-eats, and must-stays. When dates lock in, promote one to a real trip and your notes carry over. • Bucket list tracking. Count the countries, U.S. states, and National Parks you've visited. • Share a trip with a private, read-only link. Confirmation numbers and last names stay hidden automatically. • Back up and restore your data anytime with a single file. No account needed. • Works offline, everywhere. Plan on the plane, reference at the resort, edit at the airport with no Wi-Fi. TRAVEL KEEPER® PRO An optional subscription for families who want even more: • Import bookings from any confirmation. Paste a flight or hotel email, or snap a screenshot, and your itinerary fills itself in. • Sync across your devices. Plan on your laptop, pick it up on your phone, always in step. Everything is end-to-end encrypted, so only you can read your trips. • Plan together. Invite your partner or family to view a trip or help edit it, with a security check so you know exactly who's in. Remove someone and their access ends right away. • Calendar view of your whole trip. • Where the money went: spending by category, alongside your running totals. • A shareable year-in-travel recap card. Pro is optional. The free app stays exactly as it is. WHO IT'S FOR Parents and partners who plan family vacations and trips around school breaks, often using points and credits to stretch your travel budget. WHAT TRAVEL KEEPER® ISN'T Not a booking site, not a recommendation engine, just your family travel planner, that respects your privacy. PRIVACY-FIRST Your trips live on your device. If you turn on sync, they're end-to-end encrypted before they leave, so Travel Keeper, LLC still never sees them. Loyalty numbers are masked by default. Travel Keeper never collects passport numbers, credit card numbers, or addresses. Pro sign-in is by email only, no passwords. FREE & AD-FREE I'm committed to keeping every feature that was free at launch free forever, with no ads and no tracking. Travel Keeper Pro is the only paid part. It's opt-in, and it only ever adds new tools, never gatekeeping what you already have. Plan your next trip. Or your tenth. Family travel, simplified.
