Packlin is a checklist app that organizes what you bring for trips, business travel, camping, and more in three layers: Pack (bag), Group (pouch), and Item. ■ Checking and quantity management Check off each item and record required and stock counts. Add a per-item weight (g) and the app automatically totals the weight of your whole load. ■ Item overview See every item in a pack across all groups in one list. Sort by unchecked, shortage count, shortage weight, or stock weight. Perfect for a final check before departure or for reviewing an overweight bag. Keyword search is supported. ■ Quantity input Drag the dial left or right to adjust counts intuitively. Tap the number to type directly with a dedicated keypad. The dial's style and sensitivity are customizable. ■ Undo / Redo No confirmation dialogs and no Save button, so you can work fast. Made a mistake? Undo up to 10 steps back. ■ Sharing and backup Export a single pack as a .packlin file and share it via AirDrop or email. Back up and restore all packs at once, so switching devices is worry-free. ■ AI "Chappy" (optional, paid) Just enter your destination or purpose, and the AI suggests the entire contents of a pack. You can also ask it to add to or revise an existing pack. Each generation requires one AI ticket, available by purchase or by watching a video ad.

Your to-do list looks manageable. It isn't. Tasks hide how long they take. Time Blokker gives every task a duration and stacks them in your day. You see what fits before you start. Your plans don't fail because of you. They fail because they can't adapt. One thing takes longer, someone calls, lunch runs late, and suddenly your whole afternoon is off. In Time Blokker, tasks sit on top of each other. When one grows, everything below it moves down. Your plan adjusts on its own. Need to shuffle things around? Drag a task somewhere else. Tap the duration to make it shorter or longer. Done. Takes two seconds. That's why you'll actually replan when you need to, instead of giving up on the whole day. And when your priorities take up real space in your day, not just lines on a list, it gets a lot easier to decide what matters. The big stuff looks big. The small stuff looks small. When you finish what you actually planned to do, something changes. You trust tomorrow's plan a little more. And the day after that. No account needed. No subscription. Pay once, it's yours. Your tasks stay on your device. We don't see them, we don't track them. Features: - Drag-and-drop task planning - Tasks shift automatically when your plan changes - Adjustable task durations - Day schedule + task list in one app - Progress tracking throughout the day - Apply schedules to a day - Multi-select and edit - Color coded tasks - Task duplication - Move tasks between lists - Dark mode - No account required - No subscription, one purchase, yours forever - Your data stays on your device
