The best free travel planner app — why I built one after testing 5 others
How years of planning trips in Google docs, spreadsheets, and scattered browser tabs led to building ryokko — an offline travel planner with no-signup sharing.
Building an offline travel planner app (and why it matters)
We're building ryokko to plan trips offline. Here's where we're at with flights, hotels, schedules, and offline-first support.
Save places from TikTok and Instagram Reels to your travel itinerary
Turn saved TikToks, Reels, and Shorts into real travel plans. Share a video to ryokko and it extracts the places for your itinerary automatically.
Stop treating your holiday like a data entry job
Travel planning starts fun, then turns into data entry. Copy-paste booking refs, juggle tabs. ryokko handles the tedious admin for you.
How to share a trip plan with friends (without forcing an app download)
Sharing a trip plan shouldn't mean emailing a spreadsheet or forcing an app download. ryokko lets you share your full itinerary with one link.
