kanNINJA for travel planning
The trip, in the order you’ll take it.
Flights, hotels, the day-by-day. A board for the trip you have been meaning to plan for a year.
Travel planning lives in twelve browser tabs. kanNINJA collapses them onto one board — the flights, the hotels, the activities, the reservations someone has to make six months in advance. Then the trip itself becomes a board of its own: day by day, hour by hour, the things you actually want to see.

A real board, not a screenshot. Yours will look different — that’s the point.
How it earns its place
What travelers actually use it for.
Flights and hotels in one place.
A card per booking. Confirmation numbers, check-in times, the cancellation deadline. The day before the trip, everything is one search away.
Restaurants and activities you have to book early.
The sushi place that requires a reservation a month out. The museum that sells out. A column for "to book" and another for "booked." Nothing slips.
The day-by-day itinerary.
A column per day. Cards for the morning, the afternoon, dinner. Drag to reorder when the rain forecast shifts your plans.
Shared with whoever you are traveling with.
Invite your travel partner. Real-time presence. They can add the museum they want to see. You can add the restaurant. The trip becomes both of yours.
The packing list.
A board for what to pack. Drag cards from "to pack" to "in the bag." The night before, the empty "to pack" column is the answer.
AI for breaking down the trip.
Ask the AI to break down 'four days in Tokyo' into cards. Accept the bits that match your taste. Throw out the rest.
Also from your chat
For travelers, in any chat.
Open Claude or ChatGPT, ask in plain language, kanNINJA does the rest. The same board, the same kata, the same clan — driven from the chat you already use.
See how it worksReal questions
What travelers ask.
- Will it pull my flights and hotels automatically?
- No. Calendar and email integrations are on the list. For now, you paste the confirmation number on the card.
- Is this better than a Google Doc?
- Sometimes. A Google Doc is great for the long itinerary. A board is great for the day-by-day, especially when you are reordering things on the trip itself.
- Does it work offline on the trip?
- Partially. The app caches the most recent state, so you can see your board on a flight. Edits sync when you get reception again.
- Can my travel agent use it?
- Yes — invite them by email. Most agents we have talked to prefer it to email threads.
- How much does it cost?
- Free for the trip. Free for two on a shared board. The paid tiers are for bigger groups and the AI — most trips never need them.
