Roamii is a group travel coordination app built for real trips — whether you're planning a weekend with friends or chaperoning a group across Europe. One app. Two modes. Friend trips give everyone equal access to plan, share, and coordinate together. Supervised trips give chaperones and trip leadership the safety tools they need without making travelers feel watched. PLAN TOGETHER Create a trip. Share a code. Everyone's in. Add destinations, accommodations, and daily itinerary items that the whole group can see. No more scattered group chats trying to figure out where to be and when. SPLIT EXPENSES WITHOUT THE DRAMA Log expenses on the go. Split evenly or by custom amounts. See who owes who at a glance. When it's time to settle up, Roamii links directly to Apple Cash or Venmo (future connections pending) — your financial data does not touch our servers. SHARE THE MOMENT Check in with a photo to let your group know you're safe and having a good time. On friend trips, photos go straight to the group feed. On supervised trips, leadership reviews photos before they reach the group — protecting everyone from content that shouldn't be shared. SAFETY WITHOUT SURVEILLANCE Roamii was designed around a simple idea: you can keep people safe without staring at your phone and monitoring everyone. On supervised trips, chaperones see real-time location, boundary alerts, and check-in status. Travelers see their own status and their group's neighborhood — not each other's exact location. On friend trips, location sharing is entirely optional and peer-to-peer. Boundary alerts notify leadership when a traveler leaves a designated area. Rogue detection flags unexpected movement or out-of-bounds movement. Departure warnings let you know when someone leaves the group zone. All of this runs in the background so travelers can focus on the experience, not the app. BUILT FOR CHAPERONES Whether you're a parent taking your kid's friend group on spring break, a youth group leader, or a travel company managing trips abroad — Roamii gives you real-time oversight. Photo moderation, check-in management, traveler status, room assignments, and boundary monitoring. All the tools you need to keep your group safe without hovering. PRIVACY IS NOT NEGOTIABLE We never sell your personal data. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone. Location data is anonymized after your trip ends. Photos are deleted after your retention period. You can delete your account and all your data anytime in Settings. Read our full privacy policy at roamii.app/privacy-policy. WHAT'S INCLUDED Trip creation and join-by-code Group itinerary and daily schedule Expense splitting with external payment links Photo sharing with optional approval queue Real-time location map (supervised trips) Boundary alerts and rogue detection Check-in system with photo verification Traveler status dashboard for chaperones Room assignments Group polls Parent photo portal (supervised trips) Roamii is currently free to use Roamii. Encourage roaming. Coordinate safety.

Plans don't die here. TripSquad is how groups of friends actually plan trips together, and how solo travelers plan the ones nobody else is free for. Every group has one trip that's "definitely happening." The one that lives in the group chat for six months and never actually happens. TripSquad takes the trip out of the group chat. Or, if you're going alone, takes the planning out of seventeen browser tabs. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a trip. Name it, pick a rough vibe, add dates. Solo or with a squad. 2. Invite your squad by @tag or link. No one else needs to download the app. Squad members fill out their preferences in a branded web form on their phone. 3. Let Scout generate options. Our AI travel companion takes everyone's vibes, budget, and travel style and suggests destinations that work for the whole squad. Or just for you. 4. Vote together. Everyone picks their favorite. Each destination shows whether it fits the squad's budget, slightly stretches it, or goes over. Ties are broken by Scout. 5. Destination reveals. A cinematic reveal plus a shareable boarding pass. 6. Run the trip from one place. Day-by-day itinerary, squad chat, packing list, trip photos, Scout-picked stays and eats, booking coordination, and a passport stamp when you get home. WHAT YOU GET - Invite by @tag or link. Add squadmates by their TripSquad handle, or share a link with anyone. Recipients fill out their preferences in the browser. No download needed. - Scout, the AI travel companion. Not a chatbot. A planner. Scout helps with destinations, itineraries, packing, day-of tips, hotel picks, restaurant picks, and budget fit across the whole squad. Pick a tone that fits how you actually talk: standard, chill, or terse. - Squad Budget Fit. Anonymous by default. Scout sees what everyone can afford, finds the shared zone, and tunes picks to match. Never share your number. Just whether you're in the same range. - Stays + Eats. Scout-picked hotels and restaurants for every trip. Real places, real prices, neighborhood and "why I picked it" reasoning, maps and booking buttons on every card. - Book tab. Coordinate flights and accommodation as a squad. Anchor flights, group-stay tracker, deadlines, lock-in celebrations. - Full group chat. Replies, reactions, mentions, voice memos, photos, pinned messages. - DMs with squadmates. Planning happens in public, coordination happens in private. - Destination hubs. Real info for every place you vote on, not stock filler. - Trip recaps and stamps. When the trip ends, you get a recap card and a passport stamp to keep. - Trip Pulse and Sunday Brief. Smart, scheduled push reminders before, during, and after each trip, plus a weekly digest of every trip you're on. Built with anti-spam gates so we only show up when it matters. - Light and dark, both done right. Daylight light mode for the morning. Cinematic dark mode for everything else. Pick one or let your phone decide. DESIGNED FOR GROUPS, AND ANYONE GOING IT ALONE TripSquad is built around the reality of travel: different preferences, different budgets, different availabilities. Group trips get a coordination layer. Solo trips get a smarter planner. Either way, everyone gets a voice and nobody has to spreadsheet. PRIVACY AND SAFETY Your trip, your squad, your data. Block, report, and delete account are all one tap from your profile. If you delete your account while hosting trips, the most-engaged squadmate inherits the trip so the squad's work isn't lost. We use industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest. Full privacy policy at gettripsquad.com/privacy. MADE BY AFIA LABS support@afialabs.net gettripsquad.com
