Excel + Google Sheets
Ultimate Travel Planner
Right now the trip lives in six places: flights in an email, the restaurant list in your notes app, and "who paid for dinner" in nobody's app at all. This puts the whole trip in one file, with a days-to-go countdown and a dashboard that fills itself from every other tab.
