JourneyBay is a freemium Android and iOS travel planner that combines ideas, bookings, places, visa context, and preferences in one living itinerary. Its AI planner turns a short prompt into days, places, a map, and an initial route. Travelers can request places or itinerary changes in chat and apply them to a relevant day. Bookings for hotels, flights, trains, and rentals can be imported from PDFs, photos, and screenshots. Place search checks routes and venue hours and matches suggestions to stated preferences. Checklists and documents remain alongside the itinerary, while visa context is based on official government sources; the site advises checking critical requirements with official portals. JourneyBay says it supports all countries and citizenships. Users can connect their own OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini key, with usage limits and billing handled by that provider. Its MCP server supports Claude Desktop, Codex, and Cursor and requires approval before actions apply. The service says it does not proxy or store prompts. AI assistance and current data require internet access, and group trips are not supported yet. Pro plans start at 9.99 USD monthly, with yearly and two-month Trip Pass options also listed.
