Baluchon
Read full descriptionHide full description
Baluchon is the family's vault of packing lists. Every member keeps their own master lists — never ticked, never used up. At every departure you clone them in one gesture: everything arrives unticked, ready to pack, and the master list never moves. You never rebuild a packing list again. THE VAULT, THEN THE TRIP • Each family member has their own master lists, plus a shared "Family" member for the cooler and the first-aid kit • Pick who is coming and the right bags appear, already filled • A child's list grows with them: edit it once, every later departure benefits • Back home the trip is archived — and the vault has not changed PACKING, ALL THE WAY TO THE CAR • Tap to tick, long-press to edit: one vocabulary of gestures, everywhere • Containers — toiletry bag, cooler — two levels deep, never more • Quantities ("Bodysuit x6"), an "essential" star, "to buy" and "last minute" markers • A finished bag gets marked as loaded in the car • On the way home, one tap unticks everything for the return leg • "Where is the teddy?" — search answers: which bag, which container • Something you forgot and added on the spot can join the master list in one tap • Eight ready-made lists to start from, yours to bend as you like TWO PEOPLE, ONE TRIP • Invite the other parent to one trip, by name, over Messages • You both tick things off, each from your own iCloud account • Your vault stays private — only the invited trip is ever shared • Receiving a shared trip is free WHAT BALUCHON WILL NEVER DO • No tags, no categories, no priorities • No list generated for you: no weather, no destination, no AI • No reminders and no calendar logic — your calendar already does that job • No account, no server of ours, no tracker, no ads PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your lists live on your device and in your own private iCloud, encrypted and managed by Apple. There is no account to create and no server of ours — the App Store label says "Data not collected", because it is true. FREE, AND UNLIMITED Members, master lists, trips, containers, quantities, markers, repacking: all of it, with no quota and no time limit. A vault gains its value over years — nobody should pay to try. BALUCHON PRO — one purchase, no subscription, ever • Share a trip with someone else, by name • Five colour palettes and three app icons • Support for an independent app, built for one family iPhone and iPad. iOS 18 or later.
