Surmai

Surmai is a personal and family travel organizer designed to centralize trip plans, documents, and itineraries while preserving user privacy. It is built as a progressive web app to work on mobile and desktop, supports collaboration between travelers, and provides offline access to synced trip data.

Key Features

• Centralized trip management: keep itineraries, bookings, notes, and receipts together per trip
• Collaborative planning: multiple users can contribute and coordinate on the same trip
• Offline-first PWA: installable web app with local caching and offline access to synced data
• Privacy-focused: minimal tracking, designed to keep travel data private and local
• Mobile friendly UI: responsive single-page app built with a component library for mobile use
• Lightweight backend: uses a Go-based backend with file-based storage for simple deployments
• Simple deployment: provides Docker-friendly setup and documentation for self-hosting

Use Cases

• Coordinate family or group vacations with shared itineraries and task assignments
• Access tickets, confirmations, and maps while traveling on low-bandwidth or offline connections
• Consolidate travel documents and receipts in one private, searchable place for trip reference

Limitations and Considerations

• Project is early-stage/alpha and under active development; features may change and some polish or integrations are missing
• Demo instances are periodically reset; production deployments require self-hosting and backup planning
• Backend uses a lightweight file-based datastore suitable for small groups; larger scale deployments may require additional architecture considerations
• Automatic import/parsing of emails/third-party booking services is limited or not built-in

Surmai is a focused, privacy-first option for travelers who want a simple, collaborative trip organizer that works offline and can be self-hosted. It is best suited for small groups and families who prefer control over their travel data.
