Onyva Quick Start Guide

Onyva helps you build a packing list for your trip in seconds, then lets you check items off as you pack. Here’s how to get started.

1. Open your app

Go to your hotel or brand's Onyva link (something like yourhotel.onyva.life). No account or download is required to get started.

2. Start a new trip

Tap New Trip (or similar) and enter:

  • Destination — start typing a city name and select it from the autocomplete suggestions.
  • Travel dates — when you're leaving and returning.

Onyva uses your destination to help tailor suggestions, like weather-appropriate items.

3. Get your packing list

Once your trip is created, Onyva generates a starter packing list for you automatically, organized into categories such as Clothing, Toiletries, Electronics, and Documents.

  • This starter list is based on your trip details and your hotel's chosen packing defaults.
  • You can add your own items at any time — just type the item name and tap Add.
  • You can remove any suggested item you don't need.

4. Check items off as you pack

As you pack, tap each item to mark it complete. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can close the app and come back to it anytime before your trip.

  • A checked item is typically shown with a checkmark or strikethrough.
  • You can uncheck an item if you take it back out of your bag.

5. Edit your list anytime

You can go back into your trip at any point to:

  • Add or remove items
  • Rename items
  • Reorganize items into categories

Changes save automatically — there’s no separate “save” button to remember.

6. Multiple trips

If you travel again, you can start a new trip without losing your old one. Past trips remain accessible, so you can reuse or duplicate a list for a similar future trip.

7. Returning to your list

Bookmark your hotel's Onyva link, or reopen it from your browser history — your trip and packing progress will be right where you left them.
