Hola-day is a private online diary for a holiday, wedding, event or family celebration. The host sets it up, travellers add photos and updates, and followers can see what's happening day by day.

No. Open the private link in your phone's browser and type your name to join. There's no app to install and no sign-up.

A one-person link can be used once. A group-chat link works for seven days, so someone who receives a forwarded copy could join while it still works. You'll see them in your list of people and can remove them with one tap.

Yes. The host can see everyone who joins and remove anyone from the diary.

Each update, called a hola, can include up to four photos and a few words. It can also show the town and weather for that day.

Hola-day makes photos smaller on your phone before uploading them, which removes hidden GPS data. The post can still show the town, and anything you write or capture in the photo can give away the location. Your original photos stay on your phone.

Yes. Comments can be visible to everyone on the trip, private between the writer and the person who posted, or turned off. If they're off, people can still leave reactions.

The host decides who can save photos, download the whole diary as one file, or make the trip video. Followers can at most save photos, and only if the host allows it. People who can see a photo can still take a screenshot.

You can paste in an itinerary to make a day-by-day plan. The host chooses whether followers see each day's plans in advance, on the day itself, or never.

Only people you invite can see your trip, every request is checked, and photo links expire. We do everything we can to keep it secure, but no online service is completely risk-free. How your photos are kept safe

Hola-day is free during beta and has no ads. Your diary is stored in Singapore, and we don't sell your data or use it to train AI.

Yes, Hola-day works in the browser on iPhone and Android. You can add it to your home screen if you'd like to find it easily next time.

If you need to sign in while you're there, choose the email code option. Google sign-in doesn't work on mainland China's local networks. Sign in before you travel if you can: Gmail is also blocked there, so a code sent to a Gmail address won't reach you. Followers don't need to sign in at all.
