The Carry Index

The Carry Index is the definitive everyday carry reference. A curated catalog of 1,526 knives, phones, wallets, pens, watches, flashlights, bags and more, across 27 categories, with the manufacturer's own published weight on every single item. BROWSE AND DISCOVER Search by brand or name, filter by category, and tap any item for full specs, honest pros and cons, and a value breakdown. Laptops, tablets, e-readers, trackers and power banks all have a home here now. SEE GEAR IN THE COLOR YOU OWN Hundreds of items show real manufacturer photos for every color the brand sells. Pick your color and your kit shows that exact photo. BUILD MORE THAN ONE KIT Keep separate loadouts for work, travel, or the weekend, and switch between them anytime. Give a kit a context and Carry Index tells you what it weighs, what is missing, and how it grades. ADD GEAR IN ONE PASS One searchable list covering every category at once. Tap as many items as you like, then add them all in one go. Each one files itself into the right category. There is an "only gear I own" filter too. SHARE YOUR KIT Send a short link and your friends see a preview card with your gear as real product photos. You choose what it shows: weight, your carry identity, and total value, which stays off until you turn it on. TRACK WHAT YOU ACTUALLY CARRY Log a carry from any item and watch it build up in your Carry Journal. Keep a visit streak going, earn XP, and climb a fifteen rank ladder from Casual Carry to Kit Specialist, Grand Curator and the Hall of Fame. Top ranks get a shareable rank card. SAVE, COLLECT, AND WISH Save anything you like and group it into Collections however you want. Add gear to your Grail List with a target price, and Carry Index tells you when it drops. FIND YOUR CARRY IDENTITY A short quiz places you among twelve carry archetypes, from Urban Minimalist to Tactical-Light to Analog Purist to The Creator, with picks that suit how you actually carry. ACHIEVEMENTS AND DAILY PLAY Forty badges across five rarity tiers. Pin your three favorites to your profile. Vote in the Daily Showdown between two kits, and watch your Carry Disciplines grow across ultralight, tactical, heritage, tech and urban carry. FOR CREATORS Share your kit from a public page and, with the optional Creator subscription, put your own Amazon Associates Tracking ID on it so clicks from your page earn you the commission. We take no cut. You must have your own Amazon Associates account and add your kit page to it. ON YOUR WRIST AND HOME SCREEN An Apple Watch app for your streak, your kit, and one tap logging. Home screen widgets for XP and your kit. Press and hold any gear card for quick actions. EVERYTHING STAYS IN SYNC Saved items, kits, collections, notes, ratings, grail list, carry log, streak, XP, badges and your profile photo stay in sync across iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac, and the web. Sign in once. HOW ITEMS ARE SCORED The Carry Index Value Score is built per category, not from a generic formula. Knives are judged on steel metallurgy, lock mechanics and provenance. Flashlights on real lumens per dollar. Watches on movement quality. Everything gets weighed against price, practicality and how it holds up in daily carry. Scores are editorial and are never paid for or sponsored. Some product links are Amazon affiliate links, which support the catalog and never influence a score. Subscriptions: Carry Index Pro and Carry Index Creator renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
