Aruko

Aruko builds day-by-day travel itineraries you can share and edit with friends in real time. The app organizes activities on a timeline, adds packing lists, and uses AI to suggest hidden gems timed around where you already plan to be.

Spreadsheet trip planning and generic AI trip generators leave groups juggling tabs and stale suggestions. Aruko keeps collaborative edits in one itinerary view, caps free trip sharing at three people, and expands Pro collaboration to twenty travelers with PDF export and email-to-itinerary imports.

A free tier covers three trips per year, while Pro Monthly lists $4.99 per month with unlimited trips and AI slot-based suggestions. It fits friend groups and families who want a shared travel planner without rebuilding the schedule in Notes or Excel.
