A travel journal for the family at home
Your trip, told to the people at home.
A travel journal your family reads in the browser: no app, no password, no feed. Write a few lines, add your photos, and keep the trip as a book.
Also for iPhone
- Free to start, and writing is never limited. The AI tools are included for your first 10 travel days, once per owner for life
- Private unless you choose otherwise
- Export the whole journal whenever you like
Afterwards, it's a book on the shelf.
Every day is already written, dated and placed, so the book lays itself out. Leave out the days that were only driving, then order it. Nothing is printed until you do.

How it works
Write in the evening. They read it over breakfast.
Write
Add a day in your studio: a few lines and the photos from your phone. Dictate when typing is too slow. The assistant can tidy your words and describe photos, and nothing is kept until you've read it.
Share
Choose who reads. They get an email when a day goes up and read it in any browser. Grandparents included, without an app.
Keep
Send a postcard from the road. When you're home, turn the trip into a photobook laid out from the days you wrote.
Private unless you say otherwise
Only the people you invite can read. A trip becomes public only when you publish it that way.
Your folder, yours to take
Your journal is documents and original photos in a folder. Download it all as one zip, whenever you like.
Open source
The code is Apache-2.0. You can run the same journal on your own server. For developers
Prices
Write your trip. Your family reads along.
