Keys? Wallet? Packed is a quick check you do at the door every morning, so nothing gets left behind. Make a group for each routine you repeat — your commute, school bag, or gym — and just check it before you leave. Check items right from the Home Screen widget, without opening the app. Every check resets on its own the next day, so there is nothing to clear. Features: - Check items from the widget, and mark a whole group packed in one tap - Start from ready lists: commute, school, gym, overnight trip, business trip, doctor's visit, and emergency bag (the items are common examples — change them freely) - Reminders by group, on the days and time you choose (weekdays for work, Mon/Wed/Fri for the gym) - Reorder items, add counts (×2), and short notes - Make as many groups as you like - Checks reset automatically every day Handy before a trip, too. No account, no ads, no subscription. Your lists are stored on your device and are not sent to any server.
