Everything a group trip needs

One app from planning through settlement. No exporting between tabs, no formulas to debug.

Fair, automatic settlement

Costs split pro-rata across families with age-weighted shares for food and gas. Maintenance fees handled separately. Settlement validates against receipts — every penny accounted for.

Meal planning that drives the budget

Plan every meal of the trip, assign cook/clean teams, and let attendance feed directly into per-meal cost and grocery quantities. Reusable meal templates at the organization level.

Smart shopping & store lists

Items grouped by store (Costco / Sam's / Walmart / Home / Local). Mobile-first Shop view with check-off, plus a Pack view for organizing what each shopper hauls in.

Per-family packing lists

Three-section lists (Personal / Family / Truck-Boat) with per-member checkboxes. Save as a template once, apply to next year's trip in one click. Print or save as PDF for each family.

Quick-calc widgets for bulk pantry

Three independent scratchpads on the Expenses tab for "20 lb chicken @ $4.99" style math, plus a Boat Gas estimator. Auto-saves, pushes the total straight to expenses.

5-source weather + lake conditions

Five weather sources aggregated per day plus moonrise/moonset astronomy. For lake trips, current elevation vs your launch ramp's safe-floor threshold (Lake Powell + Mead supported, more coming).

Built for groups of families

Households stay grouped. Add adults and kids with ages; the app handles per-person weights so a four-kid family doesn't pay an adult-equivalent food share.

Print or PDF every report

Server-rendered PDFs for the daily printout, store lists, packing lists, settlement reports, and full trip dossier. Same fidelity as on-screen — no html2canvas surprises.

Organization templates

Save meal plans, family rosters, packing lists, and quick-calcs as org-level templates. Returning trips reuse them with one click. Members of the org share the library.
