Fleet doesn't just log your flights; it tracks the actual aircraft. Every plane you've flown on becomes part of your personal fleet, visible in real time on a 3D globe as they fly routes around the world. For travel lovers, it's a beautiful way to visualize your journey. For aviation geeks, it's the app you've been waiting for. Add your flights by syncing your calendar, importing from Flighty, myFlightradar24, or ByAir, and looking up past flights. For crew: lookup and add aircraft directly to your Fleet. For private pilots and flyers: add your general aviation flights! See stats on your airports, airlines, routes, and aircraft. Unlock ranks and achievements as your collection grows, climbing global rankings. Add your Friends to follow along as they expand their Fleets, and watch Fleeters fly through Global and Friends feeds. Purchasing the Fleet Enthusiast subscription removes the 2-year flight history limit, unlocking flight history back to 1970 (database lookup only available back to 2011). It also unlocks the ability to add your own aircraft photos, Airport Watch (notifications when your Fleet enters an area), removes the 20-plane direct-add limit (number of planes added through flights is NOT limited), and raises the monthly flight replay limit from 5 to 100.

Packing isn't a chore. It's the first page of the trip. Packtale is a packing list that feels like a travel journal: soft paper pages, washi-tape category headers, and items that gently melt into the page as you check them off. Pack the last one, and the page quietly celebrates with you. Suggestions that check the weather Tell Packtale where you're going and when, and it drafts your list for you — from the real forecast when departure is within two weeks, from seasonal averages when it's further out. Any destination in the world works. If rain is likely, the umbrella is already on the list. Made for the way you actually pack Season, rain and activity tags shape what gets suggested, and everyday items scale with the length of your trip — six days, six pairs of socks. Every category and every item is yours to rename, reorder, recolour or remove; nothing is locked. Pack once, reuse forever Save any trip as a template and start the next one in seconds. Pick your departure and return dates, and Packtale reminds you the evening before you leave — right when packing actually happens. Two languages, one notebook The whole app speaks English and Traditional Chinese, down to the item names themselves. Yours, and only yours Packtale is free, with no ads, no tracking and no account to create. Your lists live on your device and sync across your own devices through your personal iCloud — we run no servers and can never see your data. It works fully offline, and any list can be shared as plain text when someone else is packing too.
