Create a trip to generate a custom packing list

How does the packing list generator work?
Select your destination climate (tropical, temperate, cold), travel type (flight, road trip, camping), activities (beach, hiking, business, skiing, city), and trip duration. The generator combines hand-curated item templates for each combination into a single comprehensive packing list.
Can I save multiple trips?
Yes! Each trip is saved to your browser's localStorage with its own packing list. You can switch between trips, duplicate an existing trip as a starting point, or delete trips you no longer need. All data stays on your device.
Can I check items off as I pack?
Absolutely. Each item in the list is a toggleable checkbox. Click any item to mark it as packed, click again to unmark. A progress bar shows your overall packing completion percentage.
What if I want a different list for the same trip?
Use the "Regenerate" button to generate a fresh list for the same trip parameters. You can also duplicate an existing trip and adjust its activities or travel type.
Are the lists customisable?
The generated lists are a starting point based on common needs for each trip type. You can manually add or remove items by tapping on them. For the best experience, use the regenerate button if you need a significantly different combination.
What trip types are supported?
Three travel types: Flight (includes luggage-specific items), Road Trip (car accessories, cooler, emergency kit), and Camping (tent, stove, sleeping gear). Each adds relevant items to the base packing list.
What activities can I add?
Five activity categories: Beach (swimwear, snorkel gear, dry bag), Hiking (trail shoes, day pack, trekking poles), Business (formal wear, laptop, business cards), Skiing (goggles, helmet, thermal layers), and City (walking shoes, anti-theft bag, map).
Is my data private?
Yes. All trip data is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. No information is sent to any server, API, or third party. Clear your browser data to remove all saved trips.
