Looking for a different kind of group trip planner
Group trip planners tend to fall into two camps. Either they are travel discovery platforms with a planning feature attached, or they are general project tools that a group has bent into shape.
Holiday Board is a third thing: a small, opinionated board for a holiday that is already decided.
What is different
- Day-first, not category-first. Your holiday opens as a row of dates, not a set of folders
- Leave time is a first-class field, separate from start time
- Outfits, per person, per plan. Almost nothing else does this
- Packing that is generated from the plan rather than a generic checklist
- One-off pricing per trip, covering the whole group
What is deliberately missing
Every one of those is a reasonable feature. They are absent because each of them would pull the product away from the question it is trying to answer, which is "what are we doing today and what time do we need to leave".
- Flight and hotel search
- Restaurant and attraction discovery
- Route optimisation and internal maps
- A social feed, public profiles or public itineraries
- Group chat
- Moving money between people
When something else is a better fit
If you have not decided where to go, you want a discovery tool. If you want maps and route planning built in, you want a full travel platform. If you are coordinating a hundred-person event, you want event software.
If you have booked the flights and now need the group to actually be organised, that is the case Holiday Board is built for.
Questions
- Can I import an itinerary from another app?
- Not currently. Most holidays are small enough to enter directly, and adding a plan takes a few seconds.
- Does it have maps?
- It stores a map link per plan that opens your phone's own maps app. There is no map built into Holiday Board.
- Is there an iPhone or Android app?
- It runs in the browser and can be added to your home screen, where it behaves like an app. There is no App Store download.
