Why

On every family trip someone becomes the manager: the maps, the tickets, the times and the "so, what now?" — and sees the trip through a screen.

karatrip shares that load. Everyone sees the same plan, the guide answers the questions, the kids get missions instead of complaints — and by evening, the day has already been written.

What it does

Six screens, one job: nobody has to remember anything, and nothing gets lost.

📍

Now

Map, weather, tonight's sunset time and the day's next step — one screen that answers "so, what now?".

🗓️

Plan

Stops marked "done" or "skipped" — never deleted, because that is part of the story too.

🐌

The guide

An AI helper that knows where you are standing, what the plan says and what time it is — and reshuffles the day when you ask it to.

🎧

Experiences

Pocket audio-guides in the kids' language, the signage translated, and scavenger hunts that award points.

📔

Journal

One question every evening, photos, expenses — the trip is written as it happens, not from memory afterwards.

💝

Keepsake

At the end, an album that prints — with a link you can send to grandma.

What it looks like

On the phone, with whatever the day ahead needs.

House rules

The decisions that make the difference when you are standing in a square with two tired children.

Getting started

Ask below; we set you up as an owner, and from then on you build your own trips at setup.karatrip.app. For the family, the "installation" is this:

  1. Open the trip linkNothing to download.
  2. Type the codeOne for the whole family, once per device.
  3. Pick who you areEverything you do is written in your name.
  4. Add it to the home screenFrom then on it opens like a regular app.

Questions

Does it need installing, or accounts?

No. It opens from a link on iPhone and Android, goes on the home screen in two taps, and from there behaves like a regular app. The trip code is one, for the whole family.

Does it work without a connection?

The plan and the day's screens open without signal — built for museums with thick walls, aeroplanes, and whatever hotels call "free Wi-Fi".

Where is our data?

In your own trip's space. No ads, no selling data, no third parties — and nothing visible to anyone, except the links you choose to share.

What do the kids do?

They have their own environment with missions, points and a camera — and limits that hold on the server, not in a setting that gets un-ticked. The phone becomes a tool of the trip, not an escape from it.

What is left when it is over?

A keepsake album with your days, your photos and your words — ready to print, with a link that goes to grandma. And the app stays open, as the diary of the trip that happened.

What does it cost?

Right now, nothing — karatrip is small and invitation-based while it grows. Ask below, and once you are set up as an owner each new trip takes about two minutes to build. If that ever changes, it will be written here first.

Your own trip

Tell us where you are going. karatrip is invitation-based for now, so this is the way in — leave a way to reach you and we will set you up.
