About Stamp'd

What is Stamp'd?

Stamp'd is a free group travel planning app and travel tracker. It helps friends plan trips together — vote on destinations and dates, build AI-powered itineraries, split expenses, chat in real-time, and track travels on an interactive world map. Stamp'd is available on iOS (App Store), Android (Google Play), and web at heythereadventureseeker.com.

Is Stamp'd free to use?

Yes, Stamp'd is completely free. All features including AI itinerary generation, group trip planning, expense splitting, and travel tracking are available at no cost.

What is the best app for planning a group trip?

Stamp'd is the decision engine for group travel. Most apps help you organize after the decisions are made — Stamp'd helps your group actually decide. Vote on destinations, align on dates, surface deal-breakers before they blow up the trip, and reach budget consensus. Once the group decides, Atlas (your AI concierge) turns those decisions into a full itinerary, packing list, and booking plan. It's free on iOS, Android, and web.

How is Stamp'd different from other travel apps?

Most travel apps help you organize a trip after the decisions are already made. Stamp'd is a decision engine — it helps your group actually decide where to go, when to go, and what to do. The key differences:

  • Decision engine, not just a planner — destination voting, date alignment, deal-breaker matching, and budget consensus help groups stop discussing and start deciding
  • AI travel concierge — once the group decides, Atlas turns those decisions into a full itinerary, packing list, and booking plan
  • Gamified travel tracking — an interactive world map with stamps, badges, and a scoring system that grows as you explore
  • All-in-one — no need for separate apps for chat, expense splitting, itinerary building, and trip photos

How do I delete a trip?

  2. Tap Invite and enter your friends' email addresses.
  3. They'll receive an email invitation with a link and invite code to join the trip.
  4. Alternatively, share the trip's invite code directly — friends can enter it on the Dashboard under "Join a Trip."
How do member roles work?
  • Organizer — the trip creator. Can manage all settings, delete the trip, and remove members.
  • Member — can add and edit itinerary items, activities, accommodations, expenses, photos, and notes.

Members can also take on planning roles like Food Planner, Activity Coordinator, Budget Tracker, Accommodation Scout, or Transport Organizer to help divide responsibilities.

How do destination voting and date coordination work?

Destination voting: Any member can propose destinations. Everyone rates each option, and the app shows the group's top picks with average scores. The organizer can lock the winning destination.

Date coordination: Each member marks their availability on a shared calendar — available, maybe, or blocked. Stamp'd generates a heat map showing the best date range where the most people overlap. The organizer can lock final dates with a voting deadline.

Itinerary & Planning

How do I build an itinerary?
  1. In a trip, go to the Itinerary tab.
  2. Add items for specific days with morning, afternoon, and evening time slots.
  3. Drag and drop items to reorder them or move between time slots.
  4. You can also ask Atlas (the AI assistant) to generate a full itinerary based on your destination, dates, and interests.
Can I import bookings from confirmation emails?

Yes! Use the Import Booking feature inside a trip:

  1. Tap Import Booking.
  2. Paste the text of your confirmation email or upload a screenshot.

No email account connection is required — your data stays private.

Expenses & Budgets

How do I track and split expenses?
  1. Open the trip and go to Expenses.
  2. Add an expense with the amount, who paid, currency, and category.

    • Equal — split evenly among selected members
    • Exact amounts — enter specific amounts per person
    • Percentage — divide by custom percentages
    • Shares — divide by share ratio
    • Items — assign specific items to individuals
  4. The app calculates who owes what. Settle debts via Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, Cash App, bank transfer, or cash and mark payments as settled.
How do I set a trip budget?

Go to Budget inside the trip. Each member can set their own minimum and maximum budget range. The app visualizes everyone's budget alignment so the group can find a comfortable spending range that works for all.

Live currency conversion is supported for 30+ currencies, so international trips are easy to budget.

Can I scan receipts to add expenses?

Yes. In the Budget tab, tap Scan Receipt and upload a photo of the receipt. Atlas AI reads the receipt and extracts the total amount, merchant name, and category automatically.

Atlas AI Assistant

What is Atlas, the AI travel assistant?

Atlas is your personal AI travel concierge built into Stamp'd. Atlas can:

  • Suggest destinations based on your group's interests, budget, and travel dates.
  • Generate full day-by-day itineraries with morning, afternoon, and evening plans.
  • Create packing lists tailored to your destination and trip type.
  • Parse booking confirmation emails to extract flight, hotel, and activity details.

  • Estimate local costs and suggest budget-friendly alternatives.
  • Revise plans on request — just tell Atlas what to add, remove, or change.

Look for the "Ask Atlas" option throughout the app to get AI-powered suggestions.

How accurate are Atlas's itinerary suggestions?

Atlas generates itineraries based on real-world knowledge of destinations, local attractions, typical costs, and seasonal considerations. It accounts for your group's budget, trip type, and interests. All suggestions are editable — drag and drop to reorder, edit details, or regenerate individual days.

Is my personal data shared with Claude/Anthropic?

No. Your personal data (email, name, payment information) is never shared with Anthropic. Only your trip planning details (destination, dates, budget, group size, interests) are sent to Claude to generate recommendations. You can disable Atlas anytime in Settings → Privacy & AI.

How do travel badges and scoring work?

Stamp'd tracks your travels across four categories:

  • Diversity Score (max 350 points) — variety of regions, climates, and trip types
  • Commitment Score (max 260 points) — trip frequency, longest trip, planning activity

Your total travel score (up to 1,260) determines your rank: from Uncharted to Legendary. Earn badges for milestones like visiting 5 countries, exploring 3 continents, or completing 10 trips.

General & Technical

What devices and platforms are supported?
  • Web — works in all modern browsers at heythereadventureseeker.com.
  • iOS — available on the App Store (search "Stamp'd" or use app ID 6760239126).
  • Android — available on Google Play.

The web app can be installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on most devices for an app-like experience.

Is there offline access?

Stamp'd caches the app shell so it loads quickly and can open without a connection. Key actions like sending chat messages, adding packing items, and creating notes are queued offline and automatically sync when you're back online. For the best experience, open your trip before heading somewhere with limited connectivity so the data is loaded in your session.

How do I use polls and tasks?
  • Polls — create polls inside a trip for group decisions like "Which restaurant for dinner?" or "Beach day or museum day?" Members vote and the results show in real time.
  • Tasks — use the task checklist to assign planning to-dos. Track who's responsible for booking flights, researching restaurants, etc.
Is my data private and secure?

Yes. Private trips are only visible to invited members. Stamp'd does not sell your data or share it with third parties. Booking imports are processed by AI without connecting to your email account — you paste or upload only what you choose. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

How do I leave or report a problem with a trip?

To leave a trip, open the trip and go to Settings. If you're experiencing issues, contact the trip organizer or reach out to our support team.
