Plan a trip, together. Your questions, answered.

WayCrumb is a collaborative travel planning and memory app. You build a trip with friends or family, save real places curated by real people (not generic AI suggestions), live the trip with offline maps and shared logistics, and revisit it later through a private memory vault of photos, notes, and routes.

AI planners have the same problem as Google: the web has become a place where whoever pays the most gets the spotlight, so you end up in the same sponsored tourist traps and top-10 lists. WayCrumb is built around human taste: pins come from people you trust, your trip stays alive after you fly home, and the memory vault keeps the route, photos, and stories together forever.

Couples, groups of friends, and families who plan trips together and want a single shared source of truth, plus solo travelers who like curating personal collections of places worth returning to — and anyone who wants to keep a living record of the places they never want to forget, tied to the exact location and the small details of what they did there (the dish they ordered, the trail they hiked, the bartender who recommended that nightcap) so the memory stays as vivid years later as it was the day it happened.

Sign in, tap New trip, set a destination and rough dates, then invite your travel companions by email or link. Everyone joins the same shared canvas with map, itinerary, and pins.

Paste a Google Maps link, search inside the app, forward a place by email to your private trip inbox, or import a Google Takeout list. Every pin is saved complete with title, address, photo, summary, rating, and tags, no placeholders.

Yes. Trips are real-time and multiplayer. Co-travelers can add pins, vote, comment, and adjust the itinerary, with role-based permissions so you decide who can edit versus view.

WayCrumb is free to start, with optional upgrades for power users (more trips, larger media vaults, a customized recommendation engine). You will never lose access to the trips and memories already in your account.

A weekend city break takes about 15 minutes to scaffold. A two-week multi-country trip is usually built up over a few days as ideas come in, since collaborators can add pins asynchronously.

A collection is a curated group of pins, by city, by theme (restaurants, coffee, hikes, viewpoints, rooftop bars, natural wine, sunset spots, kid-friendly stops, bookshops, vintage shopping), or by trip (e.g. "Lisbon weekend", "Tuscany road trip", "Tokyo first-timer"). Collections can be private, shared with co-travelers, or followed by other people whose taste you trust.

Yes. Follow people whose taste you trust and their public collections show up in your feed, so you can borrow pins into your own trips with one tap.

Each collection has a clean, indexable page with structured place data, traveler notes, nearby pins, and similar collections. That structure is what makes them legible to both humans and AI assistants looking for trustworthy recommendations.

Yes. Every pin, day, and itinerary block has its own comment thread, so feedback lives next to the thing being discussed instead of getting lost in a group chat. Mention a co-traveler with @ to ping them directly.

Yes. Tap to like a pin, or open a quick vote when the group is deciding between options (which restaurant, which hike, which neighborhood to stay in). Everyone sees the tally in real time, so the call is made together, not by whoever shouts loudest.

Tag co-travelers on pins, photos, and memories ("this was Maya's pick", "Dad found this spot"). Tags carry through to the memory vault so years later you can filter the trip by who was there and what they loved.

Yes. Trips use role-based permissions — owners, editors, and viewers — so you can invite a parent or friend who just wants to follow along without giving them edit rights, while keeping co-planners fully in control.

Yes. Follow people whose taste you trust and their public collections appear in your feed. Borrow any pin into your own trip with one tap, with credit kept to the original curator.

Notifications are grouped and quiet by default. You get a single daily digest of what changed on the trip (new pins, comments, votes), with the option to turn on real-time pings only for mentions or your own threads.

Yes. Maps, pins, itinerary, and saved notes are available offline once the trip is loaded, so you can navigate a foreign city without burning data.

Yes. Forward confirmations to your trip inbox and WayCrumb parses flights, hotels, and reservations into your logistics view. Shared expenses can be logged from receipts.

Optional, opt-in live tracking quietly records the journey you actually take — not just the itinerary you planned. As you move, Waycrumb surfaces the places you pass through and stumble into, so the spontaneous detours, hidden gems, and magical unplanned stops get captured before you forget them. It is off by default, you control when it starts and stops, and the goal is simple: make sure the parts of the trip that made it unique never slip away.

After your trip ends, WayCrumb stitches your route, photos, pins, and notes into a private vault you can browse by day, by place, or as a timeline. Years later you can still ask, "what was that little wine bar in Lisbon?" and find it instantly.

By default, only you and the people you traveled with. You can share specific moments publicly, but nothing leaves your vault unless you choose.

Every pin can hold the things that usually slip away — the dish you ordered, the wine you loved, the trail you hiked, the bartender who recommended that last nightcap. WayCrumb ties those notes to the exact place and day, so years later the memory comes back with the context, not just the photo.

Both. Replay a trip day by day as a timeline, or open it as a map and see every place you stopped, in the order you stopped there. Tap any pin to see the photos, notes, and companions tied to that moment.

If live tracking was on, the unplanned stops get captured automatically and folded into the trip — the rooftop you stumbled onto, the bakery around the corner, the viewpoint nobody told you about. They sit alongside the planned pins so the real trip, not just the itinerary, is what you remember.

Yes. Build a shareable recap from your route, best photos, and favorite pins, and send it to friends or family — or keep it private as a personal keepsake. You choose what is included and who can see it.

Yes. Your trips, photos, notes, and routes stay in your vault for as long as your account exists, and you can export everything at any time. WayCrumb is designed to be the place you come back to in five or ten years, not just the week after you fly home.

Yes. Log a shared expense, pick who paid and who it was split between (equally or custom shares), and WayCrumb keeps a running balance for the whole trip. No more "who owes who" spreadsheet on the flight home.

Yes. Take a photo of the receipt and WayCrumb parses the total, currency, date, and merchant for you — you just confirm who paid and how it splits. The receipt stays attached for proof.

Yes. Log an expense in the local currency and WayCrumb converts it to the trip's home currency using the rate on the day of the expense, so totals stay accurate even across borders.

WayCrumb computes the smallest set of payments needed to balance the group — e.g. "Maya pays Alex 42 EUR" — so you settle in as few transfers as possible instead of everyone paying everyone.

Yes. Attach an expense to the dinner pin, the hotel, or a specific day, so the cost lives next to the memory. Later you can browse the trip and see exactly what each stop cost.

Yes. Export the trip's expenses as a CSV or PDF, with totals per person, per category, and receipts attached — useful for work trips or just keeping your own books.

Your travel profile — foodie, culture hunter, hidden gem seeker, nature lover, shopper, explorer — is what powers the recommendation engine. When you ask WayCrumb to plan a day or suggest pins, it leans on that profile so suggestions match what you actually enjoy instead of generic top-10 lists.

Auto-plan reads your travel style, your rated interests (museums, food, wandering, nature, shopping, hidden gems), and the pace you prefer (nearby, city, day trips, around the region). It uses those weights to pick categories and balance each day, so a foodie's itinerary looks different from a culture hunter's — even for the same city.

Yes. Open Settings and tweak your travel preferences any time. Recommendations and auto-plan re-tune immediately, so as your taste evolves the engine evolves with you.

Yes. WayCrumb auto-detects from your region — miles if you're in the US or UK, kilometers everywhere else — and asks you to confirm on first use. You can switch any time in Settings, and every distance across the app updates instantly.

Same idea. Your daily companion emails, weather summaries, and packing hints all use your preferred unit. We default based on your country and let you flip it in Settings, so the numbers always feel native.

Directly. The recommendation engine filters by trip destination bounds first, then ranks results against your travel profile and ratings. Two travelers searching the same neighborhood will see different top picks because the engine knows what each one actually loves.

It's a daily email tailored to your trip — what's planned for today, weather in your preferred units, reminders for bookings or tickets, fresh suggestions nearby, and short stories about the neighborhoods, landmarks, or dishes you're about to encounter. It turns your inbox into a little pre-trip briefing each morning.

Check-in times, restaurant reservations, tour meeting points, opening hours for the museum you pinned, "leave by" nudges when there's travel time involved, and packing or document reminders the day before. You decide which categories are on.

Suggestions are pulled from the recommendation engine using your travel profile and what's already on your day — so if you've got a heavy museum morning, the buddy might suggest a relaxed café or a sunset viewpoint to balance it out. Nothing generic, always tied to where you actually are.

For each major pin or neighborhood on the day's plan, the email includes a short, readable note — a bit of history, a local custom, an origin story of the dish you're about to try. Just enough context to make the visit feel richer, never a wall of text.

Yes — fully. Turn sections on or off (reminders, suggestions, history, weather, expenses recap), pick the send time, choose daily or only on travel days, and set the tone (concise briefing or longer storytelling). Distance and temperature follow your unit preferences automatically.

Anytime. Pause it for a single trip or disable it entirely from Settings. You can also switch to a weekly digest if a daily email feels like too much.

You do. Your trips, pins, photos, and notes are yours. You can export or delete them at any time.

No. WayCrumb does not sell personal data. See the Privacy Policy for the full details.
