Valigo

Stop guessing what to pack. Tell Valigo where you're going, how, for how long and who's coming — it builds a packing list that fits that exact trip. Nothing missing, nothing extra. WHY VALIGO • Built for your trip, not a template — destination, domestic or abroad, transport, accommodation, activities, travelers and climate all shape the list • Lean by design — a city break by train won't ask for a passport or a snorkel; hotels drop the shampoo and towels • Quantities that scale — socks and underwear follow your days, with laundry taken into account • Check things off, adjust quantities, add your own items, and pin the things you always forget • "More ideas" keeps optional extras out of the way until you want them • Forecast-based climate and rain for your dates • "Before you leave" home checklist — lock up, unplug, check in online • A return check before you head home — nothing left in the room safe, the wardrobe or on the balcony • Share a list by QR code — the other phone gets every item, and doesn't need Premium • Works completely offline — no account, no sign-up, no ads PACK FOR EVERYONE Add a partner, kids and babies. Each traveler gets their own clothing and personal items; shared gear appears once. Two travelers are free. VALIGO PREMIUM • Family lists — unlimited travelers, kids and babies • Several upcoming trips at the same time • Pack by carry-on / checked bag, with your own bags • Shopping list for anything you still need to buy • Save your own trips as reusable templates • Extra reminders: a week before and the morning of departure PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no login, no ads. Your trips and lists are stored only on your phone and are never uploaded to us — there is no Valigo server. What does leave the device: the destination name you type, sent to Open-Meteo for the forecast, and anonymous crash reports and usage statistics (Firebase), which you can switch off in Settings. Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription with a free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions are charged to your Apple ID account and auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings.
