## What is PackBeacon?

PackBeacon builds a packing list for the trip you are actually taking – then helps you pack it without losing your place.

Tell PackBeacon where you're going, when, why and how you're travelling. It creates a checklist that fits: business or holiday, flying, driving or taking the train, at home or abroad, and the weather at your destination.

A LIST THAT FITS THE TRIP
• Business, holiday or both, with clothing quantities based on the length of your trip and your laundry plans
• Items for flights, rental cars, road trips and train journeys
• Passport, visa and adapter reminders for international travel
• Before-you-leave tasks such as checking in online, kept separate from what goes in your bag
• Add, edit and remove anything – PackBeacon never adds back what you deleted

WEATHER-AWARE
• Apple Weather forecasts suggest the right clothes for your destination
• For trips further ahead, typical weather for your dates fills the gap until a forecast is available

PACK FROM YOUR LOCK SCREEN
• A Live Activity shows what's packed, what's left and what's next
• Tap "Packed" on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island or on the Home Screen widget – no need to open the app
• Lock Screen widgets show your progress at a glance

BEFORE YOU GO – AND ON THE WAY HOME
• Reminders the day before and a few days ahead of departure
• A final departure check for passport, wallet, keys and phone
• A return check so nothing gets left at the hotel

MADE FOR iPHONE
• Siri: ask "What's left to pack in PackBeacon?" or add an item by voice
• Optional: find upcoming trips already in your calendar – your calendar stays on your device
• Your own reusable master list, with items you can limit to certain kinds of trip
• Works offline, in English, German and French

PACKBEACON PRO – ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
• Activity packs for the beach, skiing, hiking, camping, cruises, weddings and more
• Travellers, bags and extra destinations
• iCloud sync across your iPhone and iPad
• Live shared trips: pack together with someone else, item by item

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No advertising and no tracking. Your trips stay on your device unless you turn on iCloud sync or share a trip. Apple Weather receives only your destination when you check the forecast.
