What you can do

Four things, done properly.

No feature bloat. Hikoway does the handful of things travellers actually open an app for — and does them beautifully.

Hikoway — Live feed
Live feed

A feed that's actually going somewhere

Latest or Popular, filtered by the city you care about. Every post carries a real place, a real moment, and a Live badge when someone is posting from the ground.

  • Filter by city, not by algorithm
  • Live badge when a traveller is posting on the spot
  • Places pinned to the map, tap to open
Hikoway — Trip journals
Trip journals

Your trip, rebuilt into something worth keeping

Cities, places, photos and days come together into a journal you'll actually reread — with highlights, ratings and neighbourhoods you can explore one by one.

  • Trip highlights: cities, places, photos, days
  • Rate the trip and every stop on it
  • Publish it, or keep it just for you
Hikoway — Direct messages
Direct messages

Message the person, not the caption

Saw a place you want? Message whoever posted it. Requests keep it calm, notifications keep it quiet, and conversations stay tied to the trip they came from.

  • Follow or send a request — your call
  • Notifications grouped, never spammy
  • Share a place straight into a DM
Hikoway — Discover
Discover

Find the trip you didn't know you wanted

Search places or people, filter by country, budget, season or vibe, and open any place to see who's been and what they said.

  • Filters that match how you actually plan
  • Place cards with ratings and neighbourhoods
  • Follow travellers whose taste matches yours
Every screen

Turn it around.

Seven screens, no filler. Spin the ring, look at the back, take your time — this is the whole app, not a curated highlight reel.

Badges

What you bring back from the road.

First Stamp, The Explorer, Night Owl, World Citizen… Every badge is earned through real distance and real encounters — never for logging in daily.

22 to unlock, more on the way.

And the small things

The details you'll notice on day two.

A profile that reads like a passport

Followers, countries, posts, badges — and every trip you've published, stacked up.

Hikoway — profil voyageur

Badges

Earned for real distance, not for logging in.

Travelist

The places you're saving for later, in one list.

Works offline

Draft posts on the plane, publish when you land.

Private by default

Nothing is public until you tap Publish.

Create a trip in under a minute

Name it, pick the country, set the dates. The journal builds itself as you go.

We built Hikoway because a trip deserves better than a camera roll nobody opens again. So the places, the people and the days stay tied to each other  and so the travellers already out there are one message away, not one algorithm away. 

From the road

What travellers say

I stopped using three apps. My photos, my notes and the people I met on the trip finally live in the same place.
SofiaBarcelona → Marrakech
The journal is the thing. I came home and actually read my own trip back. That never happened before.
MehdiParis → Tokyo
I messaged someone about a riad from their post and ended up staying there. That's the whole app in one story.
LenaBerlin → Chefchaouen
Filters that understand seasons and budget. I planned Peru in an evening instead of a weekend.
TomásLisboa → Cusco
Questions

Before you download

Yes. The app is free and there are no ads in your feed. We're building a paid tier later for power features like unlimited offline maps — the core stays free.

Your next trip deserves better than a camera roll.

Join the open beta. Free, and it takes about forty seconds.
