Off for a weekend and you've forgotten the sunscreen again? CheckPack puts an end to packing stress. HOW IT WORKS Describe your trip, your destination and your dates: the AI instantly generates a personalized packing list. It draws on your saved packs (toiletry bag, baby gear, hiking kit…), factors in the weather forecast and adds context-aware suggestions so nothing gets left behind. YOUR PACKS, YOUR SYSTEM Create reusable packs: toiletry bag, kids' first-aid kit, camera gear, ski clothes… Set them up once, reuse them on every trip. The AI does the rest. COMMUNITY INSPIRATION Don't feel like starting from scratch? The Inspiration tab brings together packs shared by the community. Browse, open, save: you build up your own packs in a few taps, no blank page required. SMART QUANTITIES On every pack item, choose the quantity rule: per list, per person, per day, or per person per day. CheckPack works out the right number based on how many travelers are going and how long the trip lasts. Whether you add a pack by hand or let the AI build your list, the quantities always add up. SUGGESTIONS AS YOU ADD Open the add field without typing anything: CheckPack suggests what's missing from the current section, tailored to your destination and your dates. One tap adds the item. Anything you already own or have dismissed won't show up again. DELETE WITHOUT SECOND-GUESSING Removing an item no longer asks for confirmation: it happens right away and an Undo button stays available for a few seconds. The item comes back exactly as it was. DUPLICATE YOUR PREVIOUS LISTS Heading back to the same place? Duplicate an existing list in one move: the structure, the sections and the packs are kept, the boxes are reset. You start from a proven base instead of rebuilding everything. WEATHER BUILT INTO YOUR LISTS Enter your destination and your dates: CheckPack shows the day-by-day forecast to help you pack the right clothes. No more juggling apps before you close your suitcase. A MODE FOR EVERY OCCASION Travel, business trip, weekend, sport... Pick the mode that matches your plans. The AI's suggestions adapt automatically to the context so nothing gets forgotten. TRAVELER JOURNEY A quiet touch of joy at every step: titles that evolve with your experience, milestones unlocked as you travel. Find your journey in the "My Journey" section of your Profile. PACK AS A FAMILY Share your list with your partner or your family. Everyone sees in real time what's ready and what's still left. No more "did you pack the swimsuits?" WORKS OFFLINE View and check off your list even without a signal, on the train, at the airport, up a mountain. Everything syncs automatically as soon as you're back online.
