About ONVA
The shared travel OS for people who go together
We built one app so couples and nomads stop juggling maps, expenses, chat, and planning across six different tools.
ONVA is a free travel app for couples and nomads that combines a shared map, expense splitting, trip chat, document vault, and AI trip planner on iOS and Android.

Origin story
Why ONVA exists
Planning a trip with someone you love should not feel like project management.
Most couples and nomad pairs still juggle Google Maps pins, Splitwise groups, Notes docs, and endless chat threads — none of them know about the others.
ONVA started when Basti kept hitting that wall while traveling with his fiancée across Southeast Asia. The friction was not a missing feature in one app. It was the stack itself.
So he built one journey: shared map, expenses, chat, documents, and an AI planner that actually knows your pins and budget.
6 → 1
One shared journey instead of a patchwork of apps
Every pin, receipt, and plan lives in the same trip — visible to both of you, instantly.

What we believe
Principles behind the product
One journey, not six apps
Maps, expenses, chat, documents, and AI planning share the same trip context — not separate silos.
Built for two (or a small crew)
Designed for couples, friends, and nomad pairs — people who actually plan and travel together.
