We’re two engineers who built Aruko, a lightweight but powerful tool for planning group travel.

After organizing too many messy group trips ourselves, we realized the process was broken — endless group chats, scattered spreadsheets, and someone (usually us) stuck being the planner.

So we built Aruko to fix it: Collaboratively build a shared itinerary Track shared expenses Centralized comments and decisions Mobile-first (works great on phones, no app install required) AI-powered itinerary suggestions (optional but helpful)

We focused on making it frictionless: no sign-up needed to view or participate in a plan, and it’s optimized for speed and collaboration.

Why we built this: We love travel, but planning with friends felt like project management hell. We built Aruko to make group planning fast, clear, and — dare we say — fun.

We just launched a public beta and would love your feedback — especially if you’ve ever had to herd friends across time zones and budgets.
