Product

Awaii is a calm, shared workspace for planning trips away with friends, couples, or any group that needs a single source of truth. It combines idea capture, Decision Boards (When/Where/What), poll-based decisions, and a timezone-safe day timeline so groups can move from options to a real plan without losing momentum.
