Why not another instant dump
Slow plans. Approved slots. Encrypted seeds.
Progressive, not instant
You approve each morning, lunch, and afternoon. The plan learns - no 30-minute-transfer copy-paste dumps.
Uniqueness Algorithm
Every itinerary uses a pseudo-random seed tied to your preferences. Shared links regenerate - recipients get their own unique plan.
Locals with 2+ years residency
Every pick is stamped by guides who live there. 24-hour freshness badges, 95% accuracy guarantee - not scraped reviews.
Passport as engagement
Stamps, points, badges, leaderboards - planning becomes part of the adventure, not a chore before it.
