How TripSynced works, and what it does not do yet

Common questions

How do I invite someone?

Open a trip, go to Participants, and either invite by email or share a link. People you invite by email can RSVP straight from the message without creating an account — they only need one when they want to open the trip itself.

Someone I invited never got the email.

Ask them to check spam first. Failing that, use Share instead: it produces a link you can send through any chat app, and it works the same way.

Can I take back a share link?

No — a share link works for 14 days and cannot be revoked. You can remove someone from the Participants tab, but they could rejoin using the same link. Only share it with people you would invite by name.

Why do some things email me and others do not?

Reminders that need a decision — a vote closing, a payment due, a task due or overdue — are always emailed. Everything else is optional push notification, which you can turn on in Settings. The aim is that an email always means something needs you.

Can I turn reminder emails off?

Not per person, no. They follow a fixed schedule: three days before, one day before, and once more the day after something falls overdue.

How does splitting money work?

Add an expense and choose who it covers. TripSynced tracks who paid what and, at the end, suggests the smallest set of payments that settles everyone up. It does not move any money — you settle however you normally would.

Who can change a trip?

The organizer — the person who created it. Everyone on the trip can vote, comment, claim tasks and add expenses.

What TripSynced does not do yet
Listed so you do not go looking for something that is not there.
  • A calendar view and a friends list — both are visible in the menu but not built yet, and say so.
  • Uploading a profile picture, or a photo for a trip.
  • Changing your password from inside the app — use the reset link on the sign-in page instead.
  • Moving money. Expense splitting tells you who owes whom; it does not pay anyone.
Something wrong, or missing?
TripSynced is early and hand-built. Telling us is genuinely useful.
