Packing List

Packing the night before a trip means rebuilding the same list from scratch and still forgetting the one thing you actually needed.

Launch Packing List

What it does

Generate a trip-specific packing list fast, reuse it next time, and never forget the basics.

Currently

Live at /packing-list. A three-step wizard generates a list from built-in templates plus a master items database, then you check things off as you pack. It works as a guest with everything saved in your browser, and if you sign in your trips sync to the cloud so you can pack from your phone. Later additions include weather-aware suggestions, bag assignment, and multi-destination trips.

How I built it

I built this because I wanted a never-forget-anything packing system instead of retyping the same list before every trip. The wizard pulls from reusable templates and a master items database, so a new trip starts mostly filled in. The decision I am proudest of is keeping it useful without an account: it works fully as a guest in your browser, and signing in only adds cloud sync so you can pack from your phone. The honest tradeoff is that the more advanced features, weather and bags and multi-stop trips, accreted over a few sessions, so it is heavier than the simple tracker it started as.
