Hey Product Hunt! š
Micah here. I'm the founder of Marco, and we built this product because trip planning should be easy. Too often trips either don't happen, or they end up not being as great as they should be because planning is time-consuming or sometimes too difficult.
Long unformatted email threads and fast-moving group chats are hard to keep up with. Word docs and spreadsheets are miserable on a mobile device. And a printed out PDF itinerary gets outdated faster than still owning a printer.
So today, we are launching Marco on Product Hunt for the Trip Champions. You know, the person who raises their hand and says, "I'll do it. I'll start the group thread." Because the secret to a great trip is a good plan and we know how important it is to get it right.
Today, in Marco you can:
š Create your central trip hub and invite others on the trip into one place
š¤ Add ideas to the trip board and vote on the things you like best before finalizing details
šÆ Organize and coordinate important trip information such as the group's flight arrivals or dinner reservations
š Keep trip conversations in one place with a trip specific in-app group chat
ā And collaboratively build your itinerary so everyone is always on the same page
We hope this makes planning your next adventure simple and more fun. Its certainly a pain point a lot of people have felt, and so we want to hear from you. If you have feedback or ideas on how we can make this better for you, please share your thoughts in the comments below. We are currently only available on iOS but we are working on an Android version as well. Thank you for your support and feedback along the way, and safe travels!
@eric_seufert Appreciate that, Eric! Could probably use your help and expertise now :)

My travel blogger life just became easier! Organizing all of our trip details in one place plus seeing what other people have in mind is a game changer.
@laura_martinezo Thanks, Laura! We will certainly prioritize Android as it's important to have everyone on the trip in one place, and that's currently a blocker for friends who use Android! The good news is we built this in React Native so it won't take us too long to get the Android version out the door. We will also have available some web features complimentary to the app.
@jenny_korzun Hey Jenny, thanks for checking out Marco. Lets have a look and see what the issue is. Could you email me the experience and a screen shot at micah@okmarco.com ? There is a known issue validating international numbers that we just pushed a fix for, but give me a shout on email and we will dig in.
@okmarco@jenny_korzun Thank you, Jenny! Good news! We fixed this bug yesterday. We are waiting for an update to the app to be approved by Apple and you should be able to get started in the next 12-24 hours
