How it works

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 and add your photos.

  • Private unless you choose otherwise
  • Export the whole journal whenever you like

Hand this to your agent

Copy this and paste it into an agent of your own to get started.

Guide me through creating my own travel journal, following the overview at https://log-trip.ongheart.com/documentation.txt and the day-writing guide at https://log-trip.ongheart.com/skill/add-a-day.md. You will need an email address I control.

  1. Give your agent the link

    It reads the guide there — every call, with examples.

  2. Give it an email address you control

    The one that owns the journal. No other address can write.

  3. Pass back the code that arrives

    It can then write for seven days. Everything it writes waits as a draft.

There's still no CMS — the folder is yours. You can write a day yourself in the studio; bringing in photographs, a bank statement or contacts still needs an agent.

How it works

Write in the evening. They read it over breakfast.

  1. Write

    Add a day in your studio: a few lines and the photos from your phone. Nothing is published until you say so.

  2. Share

    Choose who reads. They get an email when a day goes up and read it in any browser. Grandparents included, without an app.

  3. Keep

    The trip stays yours: documents and original photos, ready to download whenever you like.

  • 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

Questions people ask first

Do my readers need an app?
No. They read in any browser and sign in with a code.
Who can see my journal?
The people you invite. You decide per trip whether anyone else can.

Open source · self-hostable · agent-ready

Got an agent open in a terminal?

Turn ten years of photo library into draft trips, write new days through the API, run the whole thing on your own server. Agents do the plumbing, new days start as drafts, and the words stay yours.
