What is BucketBuddy?
1 min readUpdated Aug 12, 2026
The short version
BucketBuddy is where a bucket list turns into a real trip. You write down the place you want to go, and BucketBuddy carries it all the way through: picking dates, building a day-by-day plan, tracking the money, and keeping the photos afterwards.
Two ways to use it
- Just me: a solo trip. Nobody else sees it unless you invite them later.
- With others: a crew trip. Everyone can vote, plan, add expenses and chat.
You can start solo and bring people in later. Nothing has to be decided up front.
What a trip looks like
Every trip has five places to go:
- Overview: what needs doing next.
- Plan: dates, days and your itinerary.
- Organise: tasks, documents and links.
- Money: expenses and who owes what.
- Memories: photos, followers and the trip summary.
Where to start
Press Start a trip on your dashboard. One screen, a few details, and you are moving. If you would rather be shown, open Help and pick a guided walkthrough.
