TREK turns a home server into a private trip planner
TREK is a travel planning app that runs on a server you control. It lets people build a trip day by day with places, times, notes, and a map view, and shared travelers can edit the same plan live. Travel data stays on the owner’s server instead of being sent to a hosted travel service.
The app used to be called Nomad, but the new version has been rewritten with a cleaner structure for the client, server, and shared parts. Live editing has been improved so two people changing the same day no longer clash as easily. A lets an LLM connect to TREK, so trips can be planned through conversation.
New features include cost tracking, expense splitting, multi-leg and layover flights, optional AirTrail sync, packing lists, a document vault, vacation day planning, visited-place maps, a travel journal, full PDF export, and support for 20 languages. Setup uses one file, with a Helm chart available for users.
