Why TripHar exists

Finding good restaurants, hotels, sights and activities while travelling always felt like hard work to me. Reviews here, tips somewhere on social media, booking somewhere else, and in the end the photos are scattered across my phone. An AI chat helps, but it answers in general terms and doesn’t know you.

That’s how the idea for TripHar came about: a social travel platform where it all comes together. Places with reviews, photos and short videos from real people. tripHARRY, who knows your preferences. People nearby when you’re travelling on your own. And after the trip, your photos stay with the trip.

One trip, three moments

TripHar is with you from the first idea to the look back. Everything lives in one place: your trip.

Before

Plan it yourself

Create a trip: destination, dates, places from the map. You build the daily plan yourself, day by day, and change it whenever you like.

  • Restaurants, hotels and sights straight from the map
  • Travelling together: plan as a group, vote and keep track of shared costs
  • Share it publicly or keep it to yourself

Plan with tripHARRY

tripHARRY is our trip planner. You can ask in plain words, for example “Plan me three days in Lisbon”. You get a plan with places from the community, sorted sensibly day by day.

  • Save it as a trip with one tap and keep building it yourself
  • Plans around your preferences, if you want
  • In a group, for everyone who joins in

On the road

Check in, film, meet people

Check in at places and record Trippys: short videos linked to the place. Anyone who watches one gets there with a single tap.

And if you like, you open your trip for meetups. Then people who are in the same place at the same time can see you.

  • Meetups are off for every trip until you switch them on
  • For a coffee, an activity or several days

After

Share what was worth it

Review the places you visited with sub-ratings instead of a single star. If you were really there, your review says so.

  • Every finished trip fills your travel passport
  • At the end of the year you get your travel year as a recap to share

Everything a trip needs

Plan, eat out, explore, book, meet people and remember it all. In one app instead of spread across many.

  • Eating outRestaurants nearby or at your destination, with reviews, photos and Trippys. Book a table with one tap, or ask tripHARRY for a table for four, vegan, within walking distance.
  • Sights and activitiesPlan them before the trip or discover what’s nearby on the road. You book tours and tickets through our partners.
  • tripHARRY, who knows youPlans around your preferences instead of in general terms, with real places from the community. On the road, ask him what’s good nearby right now.
  • Group tripsEveryone plans along and votes, and the trip budget works out who owes whom. tripHARRY in the group chat looks for what suits everyone.
  • Meeting peopleTravelling on your own or new in town? See who’s nearby and up for a coffee, a tour or a few days together.
  • Hotels, flights and trainsBook accommodation and travel straight from your trip, through our partners.
  • Trippys and storiesShort videos and stories linked to places and trips. So you see what others really experienced there.
  • DiscoverBrowse popular trips by others and plan your own along them, with their places and tips.
  • MemoriesYour trip photos become a recap, and you send digital greeting cards right from the app. A photo book, printed postcards and local guides are planned.

Not just for trips.

TripHar isn’t only for your next trip. In your own city, too, you find new favourite places, see what’s on and meet people who are up for something right now.

  1. Lunch breakA new place around the cornerRestaurants, cafés and bars near you, with reviews and Trippys from real people. Or ask tripHARRY what fits today.
  2. After workDo something spontaneousPost an open meetup, say a run or a drink. People in your city with a confirmed phone number join right away.
  3. At the weekendSee what’s onConcerts, markets and festivals show up as events on the map, added by the organisers or as a tip from others.
  4. At homeMeet travellersWith “Let people find me in my city”, travellers and people from your city can see you. Show visitors your favourite places, or get to know people when you’re new in town.

You only become visible if you switch it on yourself. Others only see your city, never your exact location. After a longer break from the app, it switches itself off.

Meet people. Safely.

Meetups are the heart of TripHar. That’s why safety is built in, not bolted on later.

  • You decideOff by default. Only when you switch meetups on for a trip or for your city can anyone send you a request.
  • Both with a confirmed phone numberA request only goes out when both sides have confirmed their number.
  • Only from 18The whole app is 18+, not just meetups.
  • Your location stays roughOthers only see the city. It only gets more precise when you check in yourself or share your live location.
  • Trust from real meetupsAfter a meetup you rate each other. You see the trust score before you say yes.
  • You can always reportEven without a meetup. A permanent ban is always decided by a human on our team.
