TripBuddy · Sheridan, Wyoming, United States
What it is
TripBuddy turns a sentence about a destination into a day-by-day itinerary for a group trip. It checks stops, addresses, opening hours, and travel times against map data. People can open a shared plan, change stops or days, and comment; viewing does not require an account. When rain, closures, or late trains disrupt a day, users can ask Buddy to rebuild it. The service offers map views, booking links, and calendar export, along with on-trip tools such as lock-screen updates, Live Activities, widgets, spoken daily summaries, a phrasebook, and currency tools. TripBuddy is available on Android, iOS, and the web, and its listed Free plan is $0. Planning, place details, photos, and the read-aloud guide require an internet connection. Support is by email, with responses promised within two business days. TripBuddy says it uses external services for AI, sign-in, place data, photography, maps, and speech recognition. Its linked booking partners are Booking.com and GetYourGuide; it says it currently earns no commission on them.
