## What is The Host?

Social diaries.

Hosting books are a long standing tradition and we're here to keep it alive. 

- Record events you host: the guest list & attendance, the seating arrangement, the pictures, the gifts you received, the menu...
- Record events you attend: the host, the attendees, the pictures & the gifts you brought...
- Keep an up to date list of who attended which event, with whom. What they've already been served and their dietary requirements.
- Export at the end of the year selected events to a beautifully designed Host Book (coming soon!)

The Host is a private app - there is no private directory, invites you don't control, notifications that annoy you.

Add up to 20 guests, enough to organise your first few events before getting our yearly subscription that unlocks:
- unlimited guest uploads
- unlimited picture uploads
- unlimited event creation
