About

Never walk out without your charger again. Corgo is the loyal little sidekick that makes "did I pack everything?" a calm, one-tap checklist — and nudges you at exactly the right moment. BUILD YOUR KIT • Make a checklist of the gear you can't leave behind — laptop charger, cables, dongles, keys, meds, anything. • Start from a ready-made kit (Conference, Café day, Red-eye flight, Gym, Photo shoot…), generate one on-device from a quick description, or build your own. • Keep several kits and switch between them in a tap. PACK IT OFF • A charge ring shows how ready you are at a glance. • Tap each item to check it off; everything left is what you still need to grab. • Finish the kit and enjoy a little celebration — packing, done. REMINDED AT THE RIGHT TIME • Pack reminders fire on your schedule (the night before a trip, every weekday morning — your call). • Reminder profiles let you keep an everyday set and a temporary one for trips. • Unplug reminder: the moment you switch to battery, get a nudge to grab your charger. • Low-battery reminder so you find a charger before it's too late. REMINDED AT THE RIGHT PLACE • Save places like your office, the gym, or a café. Corgo reminds you to grab your gear as you leave — even with the app closed. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE • Track your packing live in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, even after you close the app. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your readiness. • Apple Watch app, a Mac menu-bar app, and Apple Vision Pro. • Your kits and reminders sync across your devices through iCloud. • Make it yours with color and font themes. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your kits stay on your devices and in your own iCloud — we never collect your data. Pack your gear. Forget nothing.
