Locus is a mobile application designed to simplify the process of planning personalized travel routes for independent travelers. It targets young, active users who prefer organizing trips on their own—without packaged tours—yet still want structure, convenience, and relevance in their travel experience.
The app addresses a common pain point: travelers often spend hours jumping between blogs, maps, and reviewing sites to identify places that actually match their interests. Locus replaces this fragmented process with a tailored system that helps users build daily routes based on what they truly want to see and do.
Trip planning in Locus starts with a short onboarding questionnaire. Users enter key details such as destination, trip length, travel companions, budget, interests, and activity preferences. Based on this input, the app generates a curated list of places—ranging from well-known sights to lesser-known local gems. Users can choose what appeals to them and assembles their own day-by-day itinerary within minutes.
In addition to route creation, Locus includes a reference section with essential local information: currency tips, cultural notes and practical advice. This helps users feel more prepared and confident when arriving in a new country. Another feature—the personal profile dashboard—lets travelers track statistics from each trip, such as number of places visited, distance covered, and trip duration. It turns each journey into a set of tangible insights and memories.
Locus is not intended to be a travel guide in the traditional sense. It’s a decision-making tool that helps travelers avoid information overload and focus on what matters most to them. Every function in the app serves one clear purpose: to make independent travel more efficient, meaningful, and tailored to the individual.
