About

Bagdrop

Read full description

Bagdrop is a packing list app built around how you actually pack: trip by trip, bag by bag. Make a trip, add the bags you're bringing, and check items off as they go in. A ring on every trip and bag shows how packed you are at a glance, so you always know what's left. A LIST FOR EVERY BAG • Carry-on, checked bag, backpack, toiletries: each gets its own list • Quantities for the things you bring several of. Three pairs of socks? Tap once for each pair as it goes in. • All Items shows every bag's list together • Filter any list to hide what's packed, show only what you still need to buy, or both NEED TO BUY Swipe right on anything you don't have yet. It's marked Need to Buy, so your shopping list is always one filter away. WEATHER WHERE YOU'RE GOING Add a destination and dates to see the forecast for trips in the next 10 days, or the typical weather for trips further out. Bagdrop points out rain, snow, heat, freezing nights, wind and big temperature swings, so you know to pack the umbrella or the extra layer. TRIP NOTES A Before I Leave checklist for everything that isn't packing (take out the trash, set the thermostat, feed the cat), plus notes for door codes, confirmation numbers and phone numbers. HEADING HOME When the trip is underway, Bagdrop offers to uncheck everything so you can repack for the trip home without leaving anything behind. TRAVEL LOG See the trips you've taken, nights away, places and countries visited, your streak of trips fully packed by day one, and the things you always pack. MADE TO BE EASY TO USE • Large, clear text that works with every Dynamic Type size, including the largest accessibility sizes • Archive finished trips, or duplicate one to start the next trip with the same lists • Undo if you delete something by mistake • Works in light and dark mode PRIVATE BY DESIGN There's no account and no sign-up. Bagdrop has no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your trips are saved on your iPhone and included in your iPhone's backups.
