The group chat isn’t a plan.
Kaedo is the trip app for whoever got stuck organizing. It gets the crew answering, the decisions made, and the whole trip into one place — then keeps track of what still needs doing.
With a fox who does the nagging, so it isn’t all you.
Your first trip is free. The crew never pays.
After that, $6.99 per trip for whoever organizes it. Friends never need the app — they RSVP from the link.

messages. Still no date.
Someone screenshots a calendar. Someone else says "I’m down whenever." Two people go quiet. The trip dies in the scroll.
Everyone’s in. Nobody’s answered.

Somebody finally answered.
Kaedo asks once, then keeps asking. Politely, or not.

Everything the group chat was never built for.
Chapter 01 · Needs you
Open it and it tells you what to do.
Kaedo pulls every loose end across your trips into one place — unanswered RSVPs, open votes, money you’re owed, things due soon. Handle it, and it disappears.
Needs you
Conner and Jake haven’t answered.
Conner owes you $141.66.
2 still dodging the question.
Chapter 02 · Decisions
Ask once. Get an answer.
Drop in the options — the weekend, the place, the restaurant. Everyone votes from the app or straight off the invite link, and Kaedo keeps track of who hasn’t. Then the date locks and RSVPs open.
Chapter 03 · Who’s In
Two in. Two still waiting.
The roster splits by answer, and arrival days come with it. Friends without the app get a Text button instead of a nudge — nobody has to install anything to say they’re in.
2 in · 2 waiting
You get the whole app. They just answer the question.
Chapter 04 · The Plan
Day by day, on a route line.
Each day gets a map, the drive between stops, and one link that opens the whole day in Maps. Check-in and check-out weave into their own days.
9:00 AM
The Thirsty Pig · 37 Exchange St
Afternoon · 4 min drive
Portland Museum of Art
Evening
The Great Lost Bear
Chapter 05 · Costs
Money, minus the math.
Every cost says who covered it and how it split. Balances net to one number per person, Request chases what you’re owed, Mark paid closes it out. Keep the ledger here and settle up however you already pay.
Venmo, Cash App, PayPal — Kaedo never holds your money.
Chapter 06 · Ask Scout
And if you don’t want to look for it, just ask.
Scout answers from your actual trip — the plan, the crew, the balances, the packing list — and never invents a fact. Everything above, in plain English.
Ask about the plan, costs, packing, or who’s in.
01 · Price
First trip free.
The crew never pays.
The organizer’s first trip is free. After that, each trip is $6.99, once, for whoever organizes it. Invited friends never pay — not to RSVP, not to vote, not to see the plan.
02 · Your friends
No account to RSVP.
The invite link opens a page that takes their answer. Downloading is their problem, later.
03 · The money
Your money stays yours.
Kaedo keeps the ledger; Venmo, Cash App and PayPal move the cash. No wallet, no balance, no custody.
Fine. Somebody had to organize it.
Kaedo just makes sure it isn’t all you.
First trip free for the organizer · the crew always free · iPhone · 13 or older.
