Packing is a memory test you take at midnight, and everyone fails it the same way — the charger, the adapter, the one jumper that made the whole outfit work. Backpacker turns it into a list you just tick off. FIFTEEN TRIPS, ALREADY WRITTEN Beach, camping, hiking, a flight, a business trip, a festival, a road trip, skiing, a day out with the dog. Fifteen templates, each one researched rather than padded out. Open one and it is already your bag — change anything you like, and it stays changed. BACKPACKER AI Tell it where you are going, for how long, and anything worth knowing: staying in a hostel, hand luggage only, two of you, hiking on the third day. It writes the list for that trip, and puts a line under each item explaining why it is there. Not a generic list with your destination pasted on top. TICK AS YOU PACK Packed items sink to the bottom under a divider, so what is left is always what is in front of you, and a bar across the top shows how close you are to done. Add anything the list missed. Delete anything you will not carry. IT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. No email address. Your bags are stored on your device — we never receive them and cannot read them. No ads, no analytics, no tracking of any kind, and the app never asks for your location. FREE AND PRO Free: keep two bags at a time, from any of the fifteen templates or your own. Delete one and the slot comes straight back. Backpacker Pro: as many bags as you want, every template, and Backpacker AI. Backpacker Pro is an auto-renewing subscription — USD 4.99 per week or USD 29.99 per year. Prices vary by region and the exact amount is always shown before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account on confirmation. It renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel it any time in Settings, your name, Subscriptions. There is no free trial.
