Ideas get lost.
You save posts and links all over the place. By the time you start planning, you can't find them.
One home for every trip.
Shibui is a shared workspace for planning trips. Save ideas, attach bookings, map routes, track budgets. Bring along the people who are coming with you.
What goes wrong
Trip planning falls apart fast.
Every great trip starts as one idea. Then the links pile up.
Hotels in one tab. Flights in your email. Restaurants in a group chat. Photos saved on your phone. A budget on a sheet you opened once. Routes in a map app you forgot the password to. Someone asks "what do you think?". Someone else asks "wait, who booked that?". Nobody can answer.
Shibui keeps the whole trip in one place.
02 / 03
Decisions get messy.
Everyone has an opinion. Nobody has one place to talk it out and pick what wins.
03 / 03
Details split up.
The booking is in your email. The budget is in a sheet. The route is in another app. None of them know about each other.
The Shibui way
Design the trip together from one shared workspace.
Shibui gives every trip a home. Inspiration goes in. The itinerary takes shape. Collaborators join. Bookings get attached. Routes form. The budget stays visible the whole way through.
Travel planning isn't actually a notes app. Or a chat. Or a spreadsheet. Or a folder of confirmation emails. Shibui is a single place where the whole trip can actually live.

Everything your trip needs, connected.
Part planning board, part travel organizer. Loose enough for early ideas. Structured enough to land the final itinerary.
Design your trip
Start with a loose idea and build it into a plan. Add destinations, days, stops, notes — whatever shape the trip needs.
Collaborate with others
Invite the people coming along. They can add ideas, leave comments, and weigh in on the things that aren't decided yet.
Build wishlists
Save hotels, restaurants, anything you might want to do — before you have to commit to what makes the cut.
Add bookings
Flights, hotels, transfers, tour bookings — all attached to the trip they belong to instead of buried in your inbox.
Map your route
See how it all connects on a map. Move stops around, see distances, sort out the logistics before you're standing in a train station figuring it out.
Manage budgets
Estimate what each piece costs, compare options, and keep a running total. Everyone going can see what the trip is actually going to run.
Built with others in mind
Built for the messy magic of planning with other people.
The best trips usually involve other people. That's also where planning gets complicated. Shibui gives everyone a shared place to contribute — without the group chat becoming the itinerary by accident.
Plan together
A quieter wayto shape the trip
Everyone can contribute
Each person can add places, links, notes, and what they care about — without scattering the trip across five different apps.
Decisions stay visible
Options sit next to each other so you can compare. The context stays attached. Nobody has to ask again next week.
The plan keeps evolving
Wishlist becomes route, becomes itinerary. Things shift. The trip catches up — you don't start over.
The arc of a trip
From first idea to final itinerary.
Trips have a natural arc. Shibui keeps you moving through it instead of stalling between stages.
01
Create a trip
Pick a destination, a date range, a group of people — or just a vague idea that hasn't decided yet.
02
Collect inspiration
Throw in places, links, things friends recommend, things you've been saving on your phone for months.
03
Invite collaborators
Invite whoever's coming. They can add their own things and weigh in on what's still up for debate.
04
Shape the journey
Organize what you've collected, sketch the route, decide what makes the trip and what doesn't.
05
Travel with clarity
When you land, the bookings, the route, the budget — they're already where you need them. No frantic email searching.
For every kind of trip
For every trip with moving parts.
Friends, family, clients, just you — Shibui keeps the trip organized from the day you start thinking about it.
01 / 05
Group trips
Stop losing votes in the group chat. Everyone has the same view of what's been decided and what hasn't.
02 / 05
Couples and families
Different schedules, different preferences, different things people want to see. Plan it together without spreadsheets and forwarded emails.
03 / 05
Multi-city adventures
Map the stops, compare routes between them, sort out where everything's booked. Multi-city trips become legible.
04 / 05
Solo travel
Your research, your saves, your reservations, the budget — all in one place when the trip changes shape mid-way through.
05 / 05
Designers and advisors
Plan with clients in a workspace they can actually look at. Present ideas, share options, keep the details organized.
A new category
Not a notes app. Not a spreadsheet. Not another static itinerary.
Shibui is built for the messy middle. When ideas are still ideas. When options are still on the table. When the trip hasn't decided what it wants to be yet.
Links buried in group chats
Every idea organized inside the trip.
Budget spreadsheets
Costs tracked where the plan is happening.
Static itinerary PDFs
A trip that can evolve.
Booking emails in your inbox
Confirmations attached to the right journey.
Separate map, notes, and planning tools
The whole trip connected in one workspace.
Repeating the same planning conversation
Decisions kept visible for everyone.
A quieter way to plan
Planning should feel like part of the trip.
The best trips start long before you leave. Shibui makes the planning part feel less frantic, so the work of building the trip starts to feel like part of the trip itself.
One place where the journey finally comes together.
From wishlist to route
Start with possibilities. End with a trip.
Every trip starts with scraps. A restaurant someone mentioned. A hotel you bookmarked. A beach you saved months ago. A museum that keeps coming up. A route that looks almost right.
In Shibui, those don't get lost. Save them, sort through them, talk about them. The best ones turn into the trip you actually take.
01 / Begin
Wishlist first.
Capture everything that might belong on the trip, before you have to commit.
02 / Discuss
Decide together.
Compare options with the people coming on the trip — in the same place the ideas live.
03 / Shape
Build the route.
The keepers become days. Days become stops. Stops become a plan.
Day 04
Common questions
Questions before you start?
What is Shibui?
A planning workspace for trips. Everything that goes into a trip — ideas, wishlists, bookings, routes, the budget, the people coming along — lives in one place.
Who is Shibui for?
Anyone planning a trip with moving parts. Group trips. Families. Multi-city travelers. Solo travelers who like to research before committing. Travel designers working with clients.
How is Shibui different from a regular itinerary app?
Itinerary apps assume you already have a plan. Shibui is for the part before that — when you're still collecting ideas, comparing options, and figuring out what the trip actually wants to be.
Can I use Shibui with friends or family?
Yes. Invite the people you're traveling with. They can add ideas, review what's there, and see what's been decided.
Can I save ideas before I know the final itinerary?
Yes. The early stage is where Shibui shines. Save places you might go, build wishlists, organize the chaos before you commit to anything.
Does Shibui help with budgets?
Yes. Estimate what things cost, compare options against what you've set aside, watch the running total while the trip is still changing shape.
Begin your trip
Give your next trip one place to come together.
