What exactly is ryokko?

ryokko handles the hardest part of travel - planning. Create, plan and manage detailed itineraries in one place, and say goodbye to messy spreadsheets and documents.

How does the magic email forwarding work?

Simply forward your flight, hotel, and booking confirmation emails to a unique email address. Our AI automatically extracts the details and builds a structured itinerary for you in seconds.

Can I access my itinerary offline?

ryokko is an offline-first app. Once you load your trip in the mobile app, your maps, pins, and daily plans are securely stored on your device for full offline access.

Do my friends need to download the app to see the itinerary?

Not at all. You can easily generate minimal, read-only web links or print-ready PDFs of your entire itinerary with just one click. Anyone with the link can view your plans.

When will I get access to the app?

We're launching soon! Secure your spot now, and your invite for 6 free months of Pro will hit your inbox the exact moment our beta opens.

How to share a trip plan with friends (without forcing an app download)

travel planningsharingcollaboration

You have spent hours putting together a trip. Flights are booked, hotels are sorted, and you have a day-by-day plan that actually makes sense. Now you need to share it with the people coming with you. This is where things usually fall apart.

You could screenshot your spreadsheet and send it to the group chat. You could paste a Google Sheets link and hope everyone reads it. You could try one of those planning apps that require everyone to create an account. None of these are great.

The sharing problem

Most trip planning tools assume everyone in the group is equally invested in the planning process. They want all five of your friends to download an app, create an account, and learn a new interface. In reality, one person does 90% of the planning and everyone else just wants to know what time the flight is.

So the planner ends up doing extra work to make the plan accessible. They reformat everything into a message, or they build a separate shared document that duplicates what they already have. The plan lives in two places now, and when something changes, one of them is always out of date.

One link, zero friction

ryokko takes a different approach. When your plan is ready, you generate a share link. That is it. Anyone with the link can see your full itinerary in a clean, read-only view. No account needed. No app download. It just works in a browser.

Your friends get everything they need:

Day-by-day schedule with times and locations
Flight and hotel details with booking references
Places you have saved and activities you have planned
A map view so they can see where everything is

Drop the link in your group chat and everyone is on the same page in seconds.

What stays private

You control what gets shared. The share link shows the itinerary, but your personal notes, cost breakdowns, and any details you have not explicitly added to the plan stay private. Sharing does not mean giving up control over your trip data.

Built for the group chat

We designed sharing around how people actually communicate about trips. The share link works on any device, loads fast on mobile, and looks good when previewed in iMessage, WhatsApp, or any other messaging app. No pinch-zooming a spreadsheet on your phone.

If someone in the group has a question about a specific day or booking, they can see the details right there. No more back-and-forth asking what time the check-in is or which terminal the flight leaves from.

Keep it updated

The share link is not a static snapshot. When you update your plan in ryokko, everyone with the link sees the latest version automatically. Change a restaurant reservation or swap a day around, and your friends see the update next time they open the link.

No need to re-export, re-send, or remind anyone to check the new version. One link, always current.

ryokko is in active development. If you are tired of reformatting your plans just so other people can read them, join the waitlist and be the first to try it.
