Holibob Planner keeps everything about a holiday in one place: the places you want to go, a day-by-day plan, packing and to-do lists, notes, and what you've spent. Have a look at what it can do.
No. Every feature is free, with no subscription and no card details.
Self-service registration is coming soon. Until then, if you'd like an account, email us at [email protected] and we'll set one up for you.
Sign in and go to Trips, then add a new trip. Give it a name, start and end dates, the local time zone and the currency you'll mostly be spending. You can change any of these later.
Yes. On the trip page, choose Import Locations... and pick the ones you want to copy from another trip.
Tags let you group notes across different locations, for example "Booked" or "Must see". When you add or edit a note, give it one or more tags. The trip page then shows Notes by Tag, and clicking a tag lists every note that has it.
Notes on a location page have a Done button. Done notes stay on the page, marked as done, so you can still see them.
Yes. When you add or edit a list item you can attach a JPG, PNG or GIF of up to 5 MB, which is handy for packing lists or shopping for something specific. Large photos are shrunk automatically.
Yes. Each expense has its own currency, which starts as the trip's default currency. Change it on any expense paid in something else.
Open the payment report from the trip's Expenses page and enter your exchange rates under Exchange Rates. You choose the rates, so you can use the rate you actually got. If a currency has no rate set, the report warns you and leaves those expenses out of the totals.
Your trips are shared with everyone in your planning team (family, friends or anyone you travel with), so they see the same locations, plans, lists and spending, and can add to them.
At the bottom of your Trips page, choose Invite Someone to Join your Team and enter their name and email address. We'll email them an invitation; once they've signed in (or created a free account) they can say yes or no. You can see whether they've answered on your Trips page, and anyone can leave a team from there too.
Yes, you can add Holibob Planner to your home screen and open it in one tap:
Partly. Every page you visit while online is saved on your device, so you can still look at those pages when you lose signal; a banner at the top tells you when you're viewing a saved copy. Before you travel, open the trip pages you'll need (the trip, its lists, the planner) so they are saved.
Not yet. Changes can only be saved while you are connected. If you try to save while offline, the form stays open with what you typed and shows a message, so you can save it again once you have signal.
If your connection drops, you may be shown the copy saved on your last visit. Once you're back online, reload the page to get the latest version.
Use the Forgotten your password? link on the sign-in page. We'll email you a link to choose a new one, which works for 72 hours. If it doesn't arrive, check your spam folder.
Check your email address and password. After 5 failed attempts we stop accepting sign-ins for that account for 15 minutes to protect your account, so wait a little and try again, or reset your password. If you're still stuck, email [email protected].
Once signed in, click your picture in the top right. Preferences has your profile picture, page size, language and theme (including a dark theme); Change Password is just below it.
Go to Preferences and use Close Account and Delete all Data, confirming with your password. This permanently deletes every trip you own and everything in it, and it can't be undone. Trips owned by other members of your planning team are not deleted.
We only use your data to run Holibob Planner. The Privacy Policy has the details, and the Terms and Conditions explain the rules of using the site.
