The TripIt alternative that reads your Gmail automatically.
TripIt is a good app — but its core pitch is still “forward your confirmation emails.” TripNoted reads the booking emails already in your inbox, turns them into one living itinerary, and keeps it current. No forwarding, no paywall to get started, and your last six months imported free.

Why switch
Why people look for a TripIt alternative.
TripIt is polished and mature. Most people who go looking for an alternative aren't unhappy with the itinerary — they're tired of feeding it.
You're tired of forwarding emails
TripIt's headline mechanic is still forwarding confirmations to [email protected]. Every flight, hotel, and change notice is one more thing to remember to forward.
Automation feels gated
TripIt has an automatic Inbox Sync, but it's positioned as a convenience layer — and the richer automation and alerts live in TripIt Pro at $49/yr.
Your history isn't there
Past trips don't back-fill themselves. If you want last season's bookings organized, you're forwarding old confirmations one by one.
To be fair to TripIt: TripIt Pro ($49/yr) is genuinely strong for real-time flight-disruption alerts and alternate-flight search. If that’s the feature you care about most, TripIt is still a great choice. This page is for everyone whose actual pain is the forwarding.
How TripNoted differs
Connect Gmail once. Then it runs itself.
The same job — turning booked travel into one organized, current trip — with the manual parts taken out.
Connect once. No forwarding.
TripNoted reads the booking emails already in your Gmail and turns them into trips automatically. There's no plans@ address and no per-email step to remember.
Your last 6 months, free.
On connect, TripNoted imports your last six months of trips on the free plan — no manual back-filling, no paywall on the core auto-import.
Updates merge in. They don't pile up.
When an airline moves a flight or a hotel confirms a change, the stale detail is replaced in place instead of stacking another email on your trip.
Past trips inform the next one.
TripNoted remembers where you've been and uses it as grounded context for planning — then asks before it changes anything.
Least access, obvious control.
Sign in with Google (no password stored), minimal email-body storage, no selling your travel data, and disconnect or delete in a couple of taps.

| Price to organize automatically | Free by default | Free tier leans on forwarding; richer automation in Pro ($49/yr) |
| Updates merge into the trip in place | Changes and rebookings replace stale details | Good initial capture; ongoing upkeep leans on forwarding |
| Flight disruption alerts | Focused on continuity, memory, and planning | Strong — TripIt Pro real-time alerts & alternate flights |
| Travel memory + trip-scoped assistant | Past trips become context; approval before any change | Itinerary-first, limited grounded assistant |
