MyTripPlanner is a free, AGPL-licensed road-trip planner built around a conversation with Ulisse, its built-in AI travel agent. It creates itineraries containing stops, route maps, timings, and budget estimates. Ulisse works with Claude or ChatGPT subscriptions and guides users through sign-in. In chat, it searches Booking.com for hotels and Google Maps for restaurants, then proposes options. The map uses real road routes and supports place search. Budget calculations cover hotels, food, activities, and fuel estimated from route distance and car consumption. Trips are saved as readable JSON in the user’s Documents folder with automatic backups, and the maker says no cloud service or account is required. Whole trips, including photos, can be imported or exported as one file. A turn log records edits and can undo one change or an entire turn. The app supports English and Italian and lists API, web, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, and Windows platforms. Running it requires Node.js 20.19 or newer.
