Brilliant travel planning, for everyone.
Travel feels best when the plan feels like it was made just for you. That idea is the whole reason Runes exists.
Why we built Runes
Planning a trip should be the fun part. Instead it usually means a dozen open tabs, generic top-ten lists, prices that turn out to be wrong, and a route that has you crossing the city four times a day.
We built Runes around a different idea: modern AI, deep route knowledge, and real local prices, wrapped in a planner that actually remembers your taste. The result is a day-by-day plan that feels personal from the first trip.
We built Runes because planning a trip well takes hours most of us don't have — and the tools that promise to help usually hand you the same tourist list as everyone else.
We wanted something that plans like a friend who actually knows the place: real prices, sensible routes, the local spots worth your time, and a companion that comes along for the trip and remembers what you loved for next time. Runes is a small, independent project built with a lot of care — no ads, no selling your data, just a better way to plan and travel.
What makes Runes different
Personal, not generic
Most planners hand you the same tourist-trap list as everyone else. Runes builds around your style, pace and budget — and gets more you every trip.
Routes that make sense
Stops are clustered by location and ordered so you never zigzag across town or double back.
Real prices, not symbols
Every stop shows a concrete per-person cost, totaled to your budget — never a vague row of dollar signs.
A profile that remembers
The Runes Travel Profile remembers what you loved and what you actually spent, so every future plan starts closer to your taste.

Runes is built by Runes LLC, a US company. We'd rather do the US brilliantly than the whole world thinly — more of the world is on the way.
