You plan it. You pack it. You carry it. You are also, technically, on holiday.
Yaycay exists for the parent who is the itinerary. The mental load, lifted.
Nobody sees the work. We will list it anyway.
- Researching whether the laksa place can do dairy-free.
- Holding the backup plan for the backup plan.
- Knowing the museum shuts at four on Tuesdays.
- Being asked "what are we doing today?" by four people who could, in theory, also read.
- Re-planning Thursday at 11pm because the forecast changed.
- Remembering which child is currently refusing which food.
- Booking things in a timezone you have not adjusted to yet.
Hand it over. Piece by piece.
The shared family plan open on a phone, the same day everyone in the family can see, so the parent is no longer the itinerary
App screenshot. The shared day view for the Walker trip: a clean, readable plan the whole family can open, so 'what are we doing today' answers itself. Per-child blocks and one meal flag visible. Proves 'you are no longer the app'.
/media/for-parents/shared-plan.pngThe grown-ups command centre
Your side of the app. Behind one PIN.
Yaycay has two views. The kids live in Explorers: their adventures, their journal, their rewards. You get the Grown-ups view, opened with a simple four-digit PIN the kids never see. It holds the part of the trip that is yours to carry.
- The full plan: bookings, times and logistics, in one place.
- The safety view in full: every note shown to you, not the kid "ask a grown-up" cue.
- The allergy and EpiPen protocol, with the dietary flags for your crew.
- The grown-ups guide and checklist, packing and documents.
- Manage every profile: add a child, set their age band, let it grow with them.
The Grown-ups command centre view: bookings, logistics, the full allergy and EpiPen protocol and the checklist, all behind a PIN
App screenshot. The Grown-ups (guardian) view after the PIN unlock: a calm command centre showing the day's logistics, a full safety note (not the kid 'ask a grown-up' cue), the allergy/EpiPen protocol banner, and a link to the grown-ups guide and checklist. Navy/cream, serious and reassuring.
/media/for-parents/command-centre.pngSeven people, three dietary needs, one nana who naps at two.
Big mixed groups are where family plans usually fall apart. They are where Yaycay starts.
Tell Yaycay everyone who is coming: the toddler, the teenager who claims to hate everything, the grandparents and what their knees can manage. The plan balances energy levels across the group, splits the day where it helps (teens to the climbing wall, nana to the gardens, everyone back together for dinner), and carries every dietary need in every meal suggestion. You stop being the diplomat. The plan does the negotiating.
A flat illustration of a multi-generation group: a toddler, a teenager and grandparents balanced across one day
Nanobanana flat spot illustration, locked style (2.5px navy line, flat palette fills, hand-drawn wobble). Subject: a multi-generation group, a toddler, a teen, a parent and two grandparents (one with a walking stick), with the day visibly splitting into strands then rejoining for dinner. No identifiable faces. Navy and blue, restrained palette for a grown-up surface.

That is the actual product. Not the itinerary, not the app. The version of the holiday where you are at the table, in the pool, in the photo, because the answers are handled. Parents tell us the strangest part is the quiet: nobody asking you what is next, because everyone already knows.
A parent finally in the family photo on holiday, relaxed and present rather than behind the camera
Nanobanana image. Documentary family-travel photo, warm cream/sand grade, golden hour. A parent IN the moment with their kids (in the pool, at the table), relaxed and present, not holding a phone. NO identifiable minor faces (back views, motion blur, crops). The emotional 'you are in the photo' payoff.
