The hard part
Travel apps help you find places. None help you drop them.
TripSense isn't about discovering everything. It accepts that time is short and helps people make trade-offs they feel sure about. I set three principles before drawing a screen.

The problem
Plenty of information. No prioritisation.
Travellers plan with Google Maps, blogs, Instagram reels and word of mouth. Every place looks equally important, and the trip ends in regret instead of satisfaction.

Why I picked this
“After several trips I kept finding the best places only once I was back home. My tools helped me find places, not decide which ones mattered.”

Drag the slider. TripSense keeps the places that fit, ranked by what they're worth.

Research
What travellers already complain about.
As a solo concept, I relied on secondary research and observed behaviour rather than interviews.

Insight:
Existing tools list attractions and assume unlimited time. The decision stays entirely with the traveller.
