Created at iOS Development Center, Chitkara University 2026 Created by Anuska Sharma, Arpit Garg, Dikhsha Kumari and Sajal Garg

Planning a group trip is exciting. Coordinating one shouldn't be the hard part. TripSync is the travel companion built for groups, whether you're organizing a weekend escape with close friends or a multi-city adventure with a large crew. Everything your group needs to plan, coordinate, and experience a trip together lives in one place, built natively for iPhone.

COLLAB: PLAN IT TOGETHER

Create a trip in seconds. Give it a name, pick your destination, set your dates, and choose a cover photo pulled automatically from thousands of curated travel images. Your trip is ready to share. Invite your crew instantly with a unique invite code or QR code. Anyone with the code joins in one tap.

ITINERARY: SMART, EFFORTLESS, PERSONALIZED

Build your trip's itinerary stop by stop, or let TripSync do it for you. With on-device Apple Intelligence, TripSync can generate personalized itinerary recommendations tailored to your destination, travel dates, and group preferences, all while keeping your data private.

Add flights, hotels, restaurants, and activities with a time and location, or refine AI-suggested plans to fit your group perfectly. See everything laid out in a clean timeline, grouped by day, so the whole group always knows what's happening and when. Every itinerary update is visible to the whole group the moment it's made. No more chasing down confirmation emails or piecing together plans from five different conversations.

GROUP MAP: FIND EACH OTHER, LIVE

When the trip starts, the Map comes alive. See where every member of your group is in real time, directly on an interactive map. Whether you're splitting up at the airport, navigating an unfamiliar city, or trying to regroup after a spontaneous detour, you'll always know where your people are. Location sharing is always opt-in. Every member controls whether they share, and sharing automatically stops when the trip ends. Your privacy stays yours.

CIRCLES: PLAN PRIVATELY WITH SUBGROUPS

Not every plan is for everyone. Circles are sub-groups within your trip, create one for the early risers, the food crew, the ones planning a surprise. Each Circle has its own itinerary and chat, visible only to its members.

GROUP CHAT: STAY IN SYNC

The group chat keeps the whole conversation in one place, all without leaving the app or jumping between platforms. Alerts keep you informed without overwhelming you. Get notified about any change of plans and reminders.
