Business Idea:
A privacy-focused iOS app that automatically extracts flight data from boarding passes to generate detailed travel analytics and visualizations, helping frequent travelers understand their journeys better.
Problem:
Travelers lack convenient, private tools to track and analyze their flight history without the hassle of manual entry or risking sensitive email data scraping.
Solution:
An easy-to-use app that securely reads boarding passes stored in Apple Wallet, automatically compiling statistics like miles flown, airports visited, airlines traveled, and travel patterns, all stored locally on the device.
Target Audience:
Frequent travelers, business professionals, digital nomads, and travel enthusiasts seeking an effortless way to analyze and visualize their travel data without compromising privacy.
Monetization:
Initial free app with potential premium features such as detailed reports, personalized insights, or export options. Future plans could include a subscription model or additional platform integrations.
Unique Selling Proposition:
Privacy-first approach—nothing is uploaded or collected externally, everything remains on device. Unlike other travel apps, it automates data collection directly from boarding passes with zero hassle or security risks.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a minimal viable product (MVP) by releasing the iOS app and gathering user feedback. Validate interest through early adopters, then expand features like manual import, travel maps, and eventually launch on Android and Web platforms based on demand.
