Is There a Tinder for Travel Planning?

Everyone already knows how to swipe. The fun starts when a whole group swipes on the same city.

SwipeSights borrows the swipe from dating apps and points it at a trip: the group swipes on real places, and the picks become the plan. No relation to Tinder, by the way. Same swipe, very different matches.

How does a swipe app plan a trip?

Everyone in the group swipes on real places in the city, each on their own phone, and the places the group picks become a day-by-day plan. That is the whole idea, and it needs no tutorial: if you have ever swiped, you already know how to plan a trip this way.

The places are real ones, with photos, ratings and opening hours: sights, food and nights out you can actually get to. In Rome, one friend wants the view, one wants a picnic and one wants every ruin in town. Swiping puts all of it on the table.

Start a trip, share one link, and everyone swipes when it suits them, on the bus or on the sofa. No city yet? Our free guides to Paris, Lisbon and Prague are a good place to begin.

Why is swiping a good way for a group to decide?

Because everyone gets a say, quietly and quickly, and the loudest person in the chat no longer decides for everyone.

• Everyone counts. The quiet friend’s picks count as much as anyone’s.
• Nobody has to be the organizer. The group’s picks decide the plan, so one person no longer carries the whole trip.
• The picks are real places. Not a 60-message thread of links, maybes and “whatever you guys want.”
• It takes minutes. Each person swipes wherever they are, and the group gets its evening back.

It is kinder to whoever usually plans, too. When the plan comes from everyone’s picks, nobody hears about every choice for a year.

And it is better for the trip. A plan built for one taste loses everyone else by noon; a plan built from everyone’s picks is one the whole group chose.

What happens after everyone swipes?

The plan builds itself from the group’s picks: nearby stops share a day, walks stay short, and each stop is timed around its opening hours.

• Nearby stops share a day, so you are not crossing the city twice before lunch.
• Walks stay short, and each day runs in walking order.
• Every stop has its time, how long to stay, its opening hours and the walk to the next.
• Every stop can go in your calendar, so the plan lives on everyone’s phone.

This is where the dating-app comparison ends: you get a plan everyone can follow, not a match. Share it with a link that opens in any browser, and the whole group sees the same days, the same stops and the same walks.

Can two people use it, like a couple?

Yes: a trip for two works the same way, and the plan forms from what you both picked.

It is a friendly way to learn what your partner really wants from a weekend away, before you are both standing outside a museum one of you never wanted to see. A free trip takes groups of up to 3, so a couple fits right in. And if you are going alone, it works the same for one person.

Does it work for a weekend at home too?

Yes: the iPhone app’s Weekend tab plans the weekends you stay home.

Pick your days, describe what you feel like or swipe, and you get a few things to do for each part of the day. Same idea as a trip, closer to home. Our weekend planner guide shows how it works.

Are there other swipe or voting apps for travel?

Yes: several group trip planners let the group vote, each in its own way. Here is how, from each app’s own site, as checked for our comparison of group trip planners in October 2026:

• Stippl lets the group suggest ideas and vote on them together.
• WePlanify runs polls in the browser, single or multiple choice, optionally anonymous.
• Plan Harmony is a shared trip calendar with voting on the plans you mark as optional.
• Pilot has hearts on items, a light kind of voting.
• Let’s Jetty uses trip surveys on destination, dates and activities.

Older lists still recommend Troupe for group voting, but as of October 2026 its website and App Store listing are gone.

So choose by what you want after the vote. If the group wants to weigh in and then arrange the days itself, any of these works. If you want everyone to have a say and the plan built for you, that is what SwipeSights does.
