Your trips,
beautifully kept.
Locale turns "we should plan that trip" into a day-by-day plan your whole crew can see · itinerary, budget, packing, and local tips in one place, on any device.
No app store. No password. Works offline.
What Locale does
Everything a group trip needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
Built by a traveler who got tired of trips living across six group chats, three spreadsheets, and someone's Notes app.
Day-by-day itineraries, drafted by AI
Tell Locale where you're going and what you're into · get a realistic, geo-clustered plan for every day. Then drag, edit, and make it yours.
Your crew, in the loop
Invite friends as Crew or Viewers. Everyone sees the plan, RSVPs, and adds notes on days · while the trip stays safely in the owner's hands.
Split costs without the awkward math
Track shared expenses, exclude the toddler from the bar tab, and see the fewest transfers that square everyone up.
Packing & pre-trip checklists
Auto-generated packing lists tuned to your trip, plus a readiness checklist that can read your flight and hotel confirmations for you.
Local tips & transit, per city
City-specific tidbits, day maps, one-tap Google Maps routes, and the right transit apps for where you are · TfL Go in London, Citymapper in Paris.
On every device you own
Sign in once with a magic link and your trips follow you · laptop to phone, live. Share a read-only snapshot link or a polished PDF with anyone.

A real day, not a wish list
AI drafts each day geo-clustered so you're not crossing the city twice. Every stop takes notes, links, times, and a ★ for the must-dos.
- Wrong day? Tap a stop → Move to day → pick another. No re-typing.
- Paste a booking link into notes · it becomes tappable for everyone.
- Rename a day ("Beach day") · the weekday and date stay underneath.
Everyone sees it. Only you can break it.
Invite as Crew (can RSVP, add notes, add their own flight) or Viewer (read-only). The trip itself stays in the owner's hands.
- No account needed to look · share a link and they're in.
- Chasing people? The Overview tells you who still hasn't RSVP'd or added travel.
- Everyone's flights land on one arrivals board automatically.
Six inboxes, one board
Crew flying in from different cities each add their own flight. Locale lines them up on the landing day like an airport board · gaps, terminals, and who waits for whom.
- Upload a confirmation · Locale reads the PDF or screenshot and fills it in.
- Connections supported · multi-leg trips show as one journey.
- Add it all to your phone calendar in one tap (.ics).
Split costs without the awkward math
Log an expense with just a label and an amount · decide who owes what later. Exclude anyone who shouldn't be on a given line.
- Mark people paid as the money lands · see who's still outstanding.
- Settle up works out the fewest transfers that clear the books · you pay however you already pay, Locale never moves money.
- Not splitting costs? Hide the whole tab for that trip.
The stuff that ruins trips, caught early
Locale knows a US passport needs a UK ETA before you fly, and what the EU's EES biometric border means when you land · and tells you 30 days out, not at the gate.
- Packing list builds itself from your destinations, the season and how long you're gone.
- Your Overview shows the next 3 things · pulled live from this list.
- Tick items off without leaving the home screen.
Start with a vibe, not an itinerary
No dates? No problem. Pin ideas, share them, and let the crew react · you'll see what people actually want before anyone books a thing.
- Ask for recommendations · best time to go, where to stay, day trips.
- Reactions carry over to RSVPs when the trip becomes real.
- Add dates and the full planner unlocks · your pins feed the itinerary.
Every sample trip inside Locale is labelled by the kind of traveler it suits · The Organizer, The Dreamer, The First-timer · so you can open the one closest to your trip and poke around.
User protection
Your plans are yours. Period.
Locale was built privacy-first from day one · here's exactly how your data is protected.
No passwords to steal
Sign-in is a one-time magic link to your email. There's no password to reuse, leak, or forget.
Private by default, enforced by the database
Row-level security means the server itself only ever returns your own trips · or ones explicitly shared with you. Not even a buggy client can leak someone else's plans.
You control who sees what
Trips are invite-only. Crew can add notes and RSVP; Viewers can only look. Only the owner can change or delete a trip.
AI runs server-side, rate-limited & capped
AI requests go through a locked-down proxy · keys never touch your browser, usage is audited, and abuse is throttled per user and per network.
Works offline, saved on your device
Your trips are cached locally first, so airplane mode isn't a problem · and you're never locked out of your own plans.
No ads, no tracking, easy exit
Nothing is sold or shared. Export every trip as a JSON backup or PDF anytime · your data leaves with you.
