About SAUNTOUR

Chart Your Course, Invite Your Crew

Welcome to SAUNTOUR—where adventure meets organization. This app was born out of my passion for the great outdoors and my need for a better way to plan every detail of my trips.

I'm Steven—a lifelong outdoor enthusiast. I grew up in Florida, but my real love for nature took off when I joined the Air Force in 2008 and was stationed in Alaska. From backpacking and fly fishing to canyoneering and snowshoeing, I've always been drawn to every corner of the wilderness.

As the go-to trip planner among friends and family, I grew tired of piecing together free tools that never quite fit my detailed planning needs. Shared notes and spreadsheets never quite did what I needed them to. That's why I decided to create SAUNTOUR—a tool that reflects the way I plan and organize my adventures.

The Story Behind SAUNTOUR

There once was an app that let users assign gear checklists to trip participants, but it became too buggy and was eventually abandoned. Inspired by a quote from John Muir—who believed that "people ought to saunter in the mountains"—I wanted to craft something better.

I combined "saunter" with "tour" to create SAUNTOUR, an app that honors the beauty of a leisurely, thoughtful journey. For me, planning a trip should be about organizing the essentials so you can fully immerse yourself in the adventure, balancing structure with 50% planned details and 50% spontaneous discovery.

Our Mission

SAUNTOUR exists to make trip planning effortless and enjoyable. We believe that technology should support your journey—not dictate it. Our mission is to simplify the planning process so you can focus on experiencing your adventure to the fullest, and later, relive every memory through a detailed trip wrap-up.
