Four tools that turn "where do we even start" into a plan everyone signed off on.
Each one solves a real planning failure mode — hidden costs, family arguments, scattered tabs, "I forgot the sunscreen." They sync as a single trip workspace, but any tool works on its own.
One workspace. Four moves.
Open any tool from any starting point. The trip workspace remembers the rest. Click into a tool to see what it does, what it costs (always free to start), and how families actually use it.
TrueCost Budget Calculator
Surface the 30–40% of trip costs nobody plans for — resort fees, parking, food, kid extras. See the real number before you book, not after.
Democratic Voting
Kids feel heard. Parents keep the final say (2× vote weight). End the "I'm the bad guy who decides everything" loop.
Visual Itinerary
See your trip on a map, not as a list. Drag activities, watch travel times update, get pacing alerts when you've overbooked the day.
Smart Packing Generator
Auto-generates a packing list that actually matches your trip — kid ages, weather forecast, planned activities. No "did anyone bring the sunscreen?" at the airport.
One trip, four moves. Pick up where the last left off.
Each tool can stand alone, but they're designed to chain. The vote picks the destination. The budget shows the real cost. The itinerary maps the days. The packing list is built from all three.

See the real total
TrueCost adds the 30–40% hidden fees other planners skip — so you know what the trip actually costs before you book.
Build the days
AI generates a day-by-day itinerary with map pins, real travel times, and pacing alerts when a day's too packed for kids.
Generate a smart list
Smart Packing reads your itinerary, pulls the real weather forecast, and builds a list that matches kid ages, activities, and dates.
"We voted Hawaii, found it was $1,300 over budget, voted again, picked Cancún, mapped the days, and packed for a hurricane forecast — all in one weekend."
A vote that ended a six-week group-chat debate. A budget that flagged Genie+ and resort fees. An itinerary that built itself around toddler nap times. A packing list that caught the storm before it caught the family. One workspace.
- You travel with kids ages 3–15 (where planning meaningfully changes the trip)
- You take 1–3 family trips a year
- You'd rather spend a half-hour planning than 20 hours scattered
- You want to avoid "$800 more than expected" surprises
You travel solo, prefer fully-spontaneous trips, or want luxury-influencer aesthetics. These tools are for families who plan ahead.
