Shared itinerary
One itinerary the whole group can actually change
Send one link. Everyone sees the same plan, edits it directly, and votes on what stays — so decisions get made in the app rather than lost in a chat.
Most group trips are planned in a document one person owns and everyone else comments on. That works until the second version, at which point half the group is looking at the first one and nobody is sure which is current.
A shared plan removes the versions. There is one itinerary, everyone on the link can change it, and what you are looking at is what everyone else is looking at. The interesting question is what happens next — because twelve people with equal editing rights and no way to decide anything is its own kind of mess.
Editing is not the same as deciding
The distinction most collaborative planners skip, and the reason a big group still ends up arguing in a chat.
Shared editing resolves disagreement by speed
If two people want different Thursday evenings, the one who edits last gets it. That is not consensus, it is a race, and the loser takes it to the group chat.
Comments defer the decision rather than making it
A thread of eleven opinions on a restaurant is not an answer. Somebody still has to read it and decide, and that somebody is the organiser again.
Voting makes the group's position visible
Nine votes for the karting and two for the spa is a decision that happened without anybody having to be the person who made it — which is the actual social problem being solved.
Attribution does most of the moderation
Changes carry the name of whoever made them. In a group of friends that is enough; formal permissions solve a problem these groups do not have.
What the shared plan gives you
Beyond everybody looking at the same page.
Changes land live, for everyone
A share link goes into a group chat and four people open it within twenty seconds. The plan is built for that: simultaneous edits from different people do not overwrite each other.
A pace dial that trims without destroying
Say the day is too full and it shows you less of it. The full day stays on the server, so the change is instant, reversible, and never touches anything already booked.
Swaps that keep the day coherent
Replace one stop and the surrounding travel legs update with it, so a swap does not quietly leave you with forty minutes of walking you did not ask for.
Constraints that travel with the plan
Dietary requirements, group size and where you are staying are properties of the trip, not of whoever created it. Anything added later is checked against them too.
Questions people ask
- How do you share an itinerary with a group?
- Send one link. Anyone who opens it and joins can see and change the plan, and changes appear for everyone else. That is materially different from sending a document, which is a snapshot that starts going out of date immediately.
- Can everyone edit, or is there an owner?
- Everyone on the trip has the same rights — there is no owner to transfer and no read-only mode. Changes are attributed by name so the group can see who did what, which turns out to matter more than permissions do.
- What stops one person wrecking the plan?
- Attribution and reversibility. Every change carries a name and appears in the trip's activity feed, and anything removed can be put back. In practice a plan twelve friends can all see is self-policing in a way a document owned by one person is not.
- How does the group decide between two options?
- By voting on them in the app. Shared editing alone resolves disagreement by letting whoever edited last win, which is not a decision, it is a race. A vote is a decision the group can see the shape of.
- What happens if several people edit at the same time?
- That is the normal case — a share link goes into a group chat and several people open it within seconds. Changes are written so that simultaneous edits from different people do not overwrite each other, and everyone's view updates live.
- Can I make the plan less busy without losing it?
- Yes. The pace dial changes how much of the day is shown rather than regenerating anything. The full day stays on the server, so going from relaxed to packed is instant, lossless, and never touches anything already booked.
One link, and the group takes it from there
Answer four questions, get the whole trip, and send it to everyone. They can change anything.
