A camera roll, a notes app, a group chat you can never scroll back far enough in. Whirlo doesn't ask you to plan anything - it asks for what's already on your phone, and turns it into something worth keeping.
Drop in photos or paste an itinerary you already wrote - Whirlo reconstructs the trip from whatever you give it: which day, which stop, in what order. Nothing is invented. A guessed name from a photo, or a trip drafted from your own words, is always something you edit before it saves, never something published on your behalf.
If a trip was good enough to log properly, it's usually good enough that someone else would pay to skip the planning. The shape of a route - how many days, how many stops - stays free to browse. The detail (timings, costs, addresses) unlocks for whoever buys it. Whirlo takes a flat 5% commission on every sale - the same rate for every seller, no exceptions for publishing early.
It doesn't plan a trip you haven't taken yet, recommend restaurants, or make conversation. It's a record of somewhere you've already been, not a travel agent for somewhere you're going. If that's what you're after, this isn't the tool.
Whirlo is early. Payments aren't live yet - routes, subscriptions, and print orders all work end to end except the actual charge. If something looks unfinished, it probably is; nothing here claims to be more finished than it is.
