Plan a family trip — even for the ones who won't use an app
Partners, kids, a couple of grandparents — you're the one holding the numbers. Rookely keeps the costs, bookings and who-brings-what straight, whether they join or not.
Start for free →One organiser, a dozen people, endless 'how much do we owe?'
Family trips have the widest spread of people and the lowest app adoption. Some will happily log in; plenty won't touch it. And you still have to know what the cabin cost, whose deposit covered what, and whether the kids count as full.
So add the ones who won't sign up as guests and run their part yourself. You get one clear picture of the whole trip — the engaged ones lighten your load, the rest are carried.

You don't need them signed up. You need the trip accounted for.
The parts of Rookely a family trip leans on
Guests & solo mode
Not everyone will sign up? Add them as guests and manage their lists, costs and gear yourself. Run the whole trip solo — and merge them in if they join later.
Learn more →Know what it'll cost you
An upfront view of what each person pays — accommodation, fuel, food — and what's left after the deposit. Informational, separate from the settlement.
Learn more →Expenses without the headache
Track who paid what and who's splitting it. Multi-country? Mixed currencies? After the trip the app calculates the minimum transfers to get everyone to zero.
Learn more →Participant essentials
The 'bring your own' things — sleeping bag, documents, meds. Set them once; they land on every participant's list, so you know the baseline is covered.
Learn more →Important info, always findable
Door codes, accommodation addresses, the contact number you'll need at 11pm — pin them to the board. No more scrolling through hundreds of messages to find that one thing.
Learn more →One place for photos
Upload to a shared album instead of flooding the chat. Or link a Google Drive folder — the link lives here so it doesn't get lost.
Learn more →Run the family trip without the mental load
Set it up in a minute — add the people who won't sign up yourself.
