TripStash

Coming soon to iPhone and Android

A travel app. Yes, another one.

This one turns your tickets into a tidy day-by-day plan, and keeps the passport where you can find it at the counter.

The waitlistDeparts: launch day

TripStash's Home screen for a trip called Japan, mostly eating: an aircraft window at sunset with Pocket the otter in it, a tear-off calendar at 14 days to go, and a nudge that five nights have no bed booked yet.

How it works

Hand it the paperwork. It does the filing.

Every ticket, booking and travel document for a trip, in one place. No spreadsheet, no screenshots of screenshots, no archaeology in your inbox at the check-in desk.

  1. Drop in a ticket. Get a day-by-day plan.

    Hand it a PDF, a screenshot or a photo of a ticket or booking. TripStash works out what it is and files it into a day-by-day plan: flights, stays, trains, tours and tables, with times, places and booking references.

    Booking emails work too. Forward them to your own private TripStash address and they wait in your Inbox until you file them. Prefer typing things in? Also fine. We don't judge. Much.

    TripStash's Plan screen: days down a dotted gold line, each with a tear-off date tile. Day 1 holds the flight from Mumbai to Tokyo at 01:40 and the hotel check-in at 15:00, Day 3 a museum ticket, Day 4 sushi at Tsukiji.

  2. Your bag comes on every trip.

    Passport, ID card, driving licence and vaccination card live in your bag, not in any one trip, so they turn up on every trip without being added again. Each trip's papers line up in the order you'll need them.

    At the counter, any of them opens full screen with the brightness up. No more pinch-zooming a passport scan while a queue forms behind you.

    TripStash's Stash screen: Pocket holding a passport says every trip is filed and the bag comes on all of them. Below, the bag is a wallet of cards: a yellow fever card, a driving licence, an ID card and a passport valid until August 2031, then trips as airmail envelopes.

  3. Every booking knows its papers.

    Open a flight and it lists what to have ready: the passport and the visa, one tap each. It reads their expiry dates too, and says so when one runs out before you're home, or a passport cuts it fine on the six-month rule.

    Finding that out at the counter is a bold strategy. Better at home, with time to fix it.

    A flight's sheet in TripStash: AI 306 to Tokyo, a button to open the ticket, then Have these ready: the passport, valid until August 2031, and the visa for Japan, valid until February 2027. Below, departure and arrival times and the booking reference.

  4. Travel together.

    Invite the people you're travelling with. Co-authors can add and change things; viewers see everything and change nothing, like a museum with flight times. Everyone gets the same plan, the same trip papers and one packing list for the group.

    Your bag stays yours. A passport in your bag is never shared with a trip.

  5. A plan link for the people who worry.

    Send the plan to parents, the house-sitter or the colleague covering for you: a web page with the days, times and places. No app needed, and it keeps up as the plan changes.

    No tickets, no booking references, no passport numbers. Turn it off and the link stops working.

Also in the bag

And the small stuff, sorted.

  • Loose ends

    A checklist that ticks itself off as papers arrive: the passport, the flights you said you'd booked, the nights with nowhere to sleep. Airport benches don't count.

  • Reminders

    Online check-in, leaving for the airport, check-out, tours and tables, and the night before. They go off on your phone; nothing to sign up for.

  • Packing

    One list for the whole group, and a private one each for the things nobody needs to know you pack.

  • Good to know

    The time difference, the local money and its rate, which plug to pack, which side they drive on and the emergency number, for where you're going.

  • The whole trip at a glance

    A calendar of the trip, with a countdown on Home that tears a page off every morning until you go.

  • An otter, optional

    Pocket keeps a pink pebble in his pocket and an eye on your papers. If he's too much, set him to Quiet. He'll cope.

The privacy bit

Your passport is not our business model.

TripStash holds some of the most personal papers you own. So here's the deal, in plain words.

Encrypted

Locked, file by file.

Every file is encrypted where it's stored, each with a key of its own.

Deletable

Yours to delete, any time.

Delete any file whenever you like, or the whole account from the app. Things you added to someone else's trip stay with that trip.

Read in-house

Read by Cloudflare's own AI. Nobody else's.

Documents are read on Cloudflare Workers AI, where your files are kept, to file them and find the bookings. No outside AI company sees them, and anything you file as a health record is never read.

Not for sale

No ads. No selling your data.

No ads in the app, and nothing about you is sold or rented to anyone. This site doesn't even set a cookie.

I've read the privacy policy. All of it. Twice.

Questions

Asked frequently, or about to be.

When does it launch?

When it's ready, on iPhone and Android. We'd rather be late than lose your boarding pass. Join the waitlist and you'll get one email on the day.

What will it cost?

Nothing during early access. Paid plans may come later; if they do, you'll hear about it before anything changes.

Who reads my documents?

A machine, at Cloudflare. After you add a document, Workers AI reads it to work out what it is and to find any bookings in it. No outside AI company is involved, and Cloudflare says it doesn't train its models on what it reads.

Passports, ID cards, licences and visas only get a short check: what kind it is, which country issued it and when it expires. That's all that's kept. Anything you file as a health record is never read, and forwarded emails are read only when you tap Read.

Do I have to type my bookings in?

No. That's rather the point. But you can, for the bookings that only exist in someone's head.

Can my parents see the plan without the app?

Yes. Send them the plan link: the days, times and places in any browser, and nothing they could use to cancel your hotel.

What happens to my email address?

It goes on the list and gets one email, the one that says TripStash is out. Then we delete the list. Changed your mind sooner? Use the link you get after signing up, or write to support@tripstash.site.

Why an otter?

Sea otters keep a favourite stone in a pocket of loose skin under their arm, for cracking shellfish open. Pocket keeps a pink pebble in his, and your papers in the app. Same idea, fewer clams.

Window seat, saved.
