Du bekommst mehr Pakete geliefert als du selber verschickst? Mit repacket landet brauchbares Verpackungsmaterial nicht mehr im Müll. Auf der Karte siehst du Händler, die sich über deine gebrauchten, aber gut erhaltenen Pakete, Versandtaschen und Füllmaterial freuen und sie wiederverwenden würden. Anstatt die Sachen in die überquellende Mülltonne zu werfen, schaue auf der Karte nach einem Händler in deiner Nachbarschaft und bringe ihm den Karton vorbei, wenn du das nächste Mal das Haus verlässt. Als Paket-Spender musst du dich weder registrieren, noch sonstige Daten von dir preisgeben. Für Händler, die Second-Hand-Kartons verwenden möchten, gab es bisher zu wenig Kontaktmöglichkeit mit Leuten, die Verpackungsmaterial spenden würden. Nun können sie sich auf der Karte registrieren und durch vier Kategorien festlegen, was im Geschäft aktuell wiederverwendet werden kann: Große Pakete, kleine Pakete, Versandtaschen und/oder Füllmaterial. Neben der Geldersparnis durch die Wiederverwendung wird so sicher der ein oder andere Spender auf Produkte im Laden aufmerksam, die er sonst online gekauft hätte. So hilft repacket zusätzlich den lokalen Einzelhandel zu stärken. Ein alltagstauglicher Weg, um nachhaltiger mit Ressourcen umzugehen: Obwohl Kartons zum Großteil aus Recyclingpapier bestehen und auch selber oft recycelt werden, lohnt es sich energietechnisch enorm einen Karton wiederzuverwenden, bevor er recycelt wird. Wirft man einen Karton in die Papiertonne, werden die Fasern in Deutschland im Normalfall recycelt. Papierfasern können aber durchschnittlich nur bis zu sieben Mal recycelt werden. Da man aber einen Karton durchschnittlich drei bis vier Mal wiederverwenden könnte, ohne dass das Material seine schützenden Eigenschaften verliert, wäre es möglich mit einem Paket 21 Mal Ware zu verschicken. Man könnte also insgesamt zwei Drittel der Gesamtenergie, welche für den Recyclingprozess aufgewendet werden würde, einsparen. Die App ist kostenlos.

The to-do list for everything in your head. By evening you are carrying a thousand tiny things: the wipes running low, Friday’s form, the message you never answered, the question you keep meaning to ask the doctor. Pour them all out in two quiet minutes, then give each one a place: yours, your partner’s, later, or let go. Free forever, private by design, no account. TYPE IT OR SAY IT Pour out everything in your head—by keyboard or microphone, with no format, order, or tidying required. Tiny listens on your device, and your audio is not saved. If life interrupts you, your unfinished pour is kept. GIVE EACH THING A PLACE Tiny suggests a starting place; you always decide where each thing belongs: • For me • Hand over • Can wait • Let go Add an exact date and time when something needs to return. Tiny brings it back once, in your own words, with a quiet local reminder. Share hand-overs yourself as an ordinary message; the other person never needs Tiny Things or an account. CATCH IT BEFORE TONIGHT Save it in seconds from the app, Siri, Shortcuts, the Action Button, Control Center, or a Lock Screen widget. It waits quietly for your next ritual instead of asking you to carry it all day. WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT — No points, streaks, or guilt. This is not a productivity app trying to optimize you. It is a place where you are allowed to put something down. — Calm to look at: the moon holds what you’ve set down, your things circle it as small lights, and the sky drifts slowly—still whenever your iPhone asks for stillness. — Every monthly letter is free, arrives sealed, and stays in Monthly pages, ready whenever you want to return to it. — Morning begins with what matters already held, what can wait already quiet, and a head that was allowed to rest. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No tracking. No content is stored on servers we operate. Your data stays on your devices and, when available, syncs through your private iCloud. Smarter Nights (which refines the first sorting) and warm first lines for hand-overs are optional Plus features on supported Apple Intelligence devices: both work on-device and do not build profiles about people. TINY THINGS PLUS (OPTIONAL) The complete ritual, typed and spoken capture, reminders, ordinary-text hand-overs, searchable archive, weekly review, every monthly letter, notes you add, the living sky, the Porcelain Day Sky, Midnight Night Sky with its icon, and a seven-night sample Book are free. Plus adds The Witness—a private monthly page, “What Tiny carried”, made on your device only from lines you chose; Sky Worlds—five more Night Skies, each with its own light, its own sounds and an optional ambience while you pour; the Night Window, which lets the sky stay as you fall asleep; hand-over cards in five designs, remembered for each person you hand to; Returns that repeat every week, month, or year; Your seasons, a quiet look back over your last twelve weeks; printable Books from up to your 1,000 most recent nights; The Year, which binds up to 12 saved monthly letters and Witness pages into a shareable PDF, ready to print on paper—and each December shows your year as a sky; a named, shareable sky of your lights; five more Day Skies, with an app icon for every sky; and optional Smarter Nights and warm first lines for hand-overs on supported devices. Plus is one membership, billed monthly or yearly. Eligible people can try the annual plan free for 3 days; the monthly plan has no trial. The App Store confirms eligibility and price before purchase. Only the annual plan supports Apple Family Sharing. Only Plus access is shared—each person’s words, reminders, sky, and private iCloud data remain separate. You carry so much nobody sees. Tiny Things gives you two quiet minutes to put some of it down.
