Packing lists that remember what you forgot last time. PackLight starts every trip from a real, complete list for the kind of trip it is, then tracks what is packed bag by bag. No more blank pages and no more discovering the charger is still at home. Start from a smart template - Beach, ski, business, and camping each come with a full, hand-built list of 20 or more items, already sorted into the right bags with sensible quantities. - Trim what you do not need and add your own. Save any trip as a template to reuse your own packing style. Pack with confidence - A progress ring on every bag shows at a glance what is still out. - Give each traveler their own list, and flag the items the group shares so they only get packed once. - Add a weather note and expected temperatures so you remember the layers and the sunscreen. Remember what you forgot - Repack from a finished trip turns it into a fresh, unpacked list in one tap. - The memory card shows what you packed on your last trip of the same kind but have not added yet, so the same forgotten item does not catch you twice. Hold it in your hand - Export a printable PDF checklist grouped by bag, or a CSV of every item, and share or print it. Yours, everywhere - Your trips sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your own private iCloud. No account to create, no ads, no tracking. You can erase everything from every device at once from Settings. Free and Pro - Free: one trip and the beach template, with progress rings, travelers, and the memory card. - Lifetime unlock ($9.99 USD, one time): every template (ski, business, camping), unlimited trips and travelers, and PDF and CSV export. Pay once, keep it forever. No subscription.
