What Turistar is
Turistar is a free, open-source web travel planner for itineraries, maps, shared planning, and trip expenses. Activities can be arranged in board and trip views, with changes synchronized between editors. Users can search destinations and activities and display stops on an interactive map. The planner records activity costs and other expenses by category. Existing users can be invited by email, with admin or member access managed for each trip; plans are available to owners and members. English and Brazilian Portuguese are listed as supported languages. A shared demo account contains seeded trips, and changes made there are periodically reset when the demo is entered. Turistar is licensed under GNU Affero General Public License v3.0. Local setup uses Node.js, pnpm, the Supabase CLI, and a Docker-compatible container runtime. The setup guide identifies Geoapify for search and CARTO for map tiles. Bug reports and proposed changes go through GitHub issues.
