A Wanderlog alternative built for the whole group trip.
Wanderlog is a great map-first planner. Kaikōdo covers what happens around the plan too: tickets offline, shared money in any currency, a group chat with polls and a translator. Free, with no Pro plan.
Free on iPhone, iPad and Android. Also on the web: Log in · Sign up
Wanderlog is one of the best ways to draw a trip on a map, and its free plan is generous. But offline access, route optimisation and Gmail import sit behind Pro, and once the trip starts most groups still juggle WhatsApp for decisions and another app for money.
Kaikōdo was built around that second part: the days when you are actually travelling together. Everything is in one free app, for everyone in the group.
