A clearer home
Trips are easier to scan, with clearer status and upcoming versus past grouping so you know where to pick back up.
Product news
Awaii 2 is here
The trip is easier to live in now. A clearer home, Explore for nearby places, Essentials for packing and notes, planned costs next to the plan, and dates the whole group can find together.
Still one shared plan. Now it holds more of the trip.
Awaii is still built for the part before the itinerary is obvious: the ideas, links, dates, and loose possibilities that usually get scattered across chat. Version 1.3 made that easier to return to. Awaii 2 keeps that spirit, and gives the trip more of what groups actually need once planning starts to feel real.
You can explore places near the trip, paste a stay or map link, keep packing and to-dos with the plan, see costs as they take shape, and find dates together without another poll that disappears. The home screen is clearer. The feed is richer. The itinerary can follow stays, times, and a journey you can share.
What is new in 2.0
Explore nearby places
Search and filter places near the trip, peek results, and add them as ideas before anyone has to commit.
Essentials hub
Overview, packing, to-do, and notes live with the trip — with sections, search, and notes linked to trip items.
Planned costs and expenses
See planned costs from stays and activities, then log expenses with currency conversion as the trip gets real.
Paste a stay or place link
Add stays and places by pasting Booking, Airbnb, or Google Maps links instead of rebuilding the idea by hand.
A richer group feed
The feed can carry polls, Where decisions, and idea collections so the group catches up without leaving the trip.
Flights and ground transport
Adding a flight is simpler, and there is a new composer for trains, transfers, and other ground transport.
Stay-aware scheduling
The plan can suggest times that fit around the stay, so days feel like a trip instead of a blank calendar.
Journey, map, and share
See the trip as a journey, peek places on the map, and share or export the itinerary when someone needs the current version.
What is new in 2.1
Find dates together
Share availability, see the group heatmap, and pick overlapping windows instead of chasing “does that weekend work?”
Raise date issues
When fixed dates do not work for everyone, the conflict can be raised and resolved in the trip — not only in chat.
Rental car ideas
Save a rental car with booking summary, pickup and drop-off, and a date range that can move onto the plan.
Clearer guest handoff
Creating an account after starting as a guest keeps the trip with you, with less confusion about what happens next.
Default avatars
Profiles without a photo get a default avatar, so people in the trip are easier to tell apart.
More reliable shared trips
Sync is more dependable, with polish across Where, Plan, and Costs so the group stays on the same version.
Inside Awaii 2
Why this update matters
Group trip planning works best when people can contribute lightly. Someone can save a place they walked past, someone else can mark the weekends they can go, the organizer can keep packing and costs visible, and the group can still stay flexible once the trip starts.
Awaii 2 is about making that feel complete without making the trip feel over-managed. The home shows what is next. Explore keeps new ideas coming. Essentials holds the practical bits. Costs sit next to the plan. Dates can be found together. The itinerary remains one shared place to return to.
