All set?
Read full descriptionHide full description
■ App overview All set? is a packing and carry-list app that helps you organise items for each plan and reduce forgotten or left-behind items (packing list / checklist). Create a list for each plan (trip prep, business trips, concerts, festivals, weddings, camping, hiking, doctor visits, kids’ events, emergency bag prep, and more) and keep everything visible in one place. Add items the moment you think of them—so notes like “bring this next time” or “need to buy more” are saved on the spot. ■ Common checklist frustrations Typical checklists can make it hard to see what’s done, and a single checkmark may mean either “ready” or “not needed this time,” which gets confusing. Editing or reordering lists can also be a hassle. To solve that, All set? uses “boxes (categories)” instead of checkmarks. ■ Sort with boxes In All set?, you organise by swiping items into 【Packed】 or 【Leaving behind this time】. No more guessing what a check means, and your prep progress (how far along you are) is instantly clear. The action is simple: just swipe left or right. Swipe right for “Packed,” swipe left for “Leaving behind.” With quick sorting, packing before departure becomes smooth. ■ Prevent leaving things behind while you’re out All set? helps not only before you leave, but also when you’re on the go. You can check at a glance what you have with you right now, so a quick review before heading home helps prevent leaving items behind. It’s especially handy in places where items get set down—hotels, transit, venues, cafés, workplaces, and more. ■ Share (QR code / text export) You can also share your list by QR code. Show the QR code to a friend or coworker and hand over the same list instantly—great for group trips, business travel, or splitting event prep (who brings what, shared items). You can export the list as text too, so you can paste it into messaging apps, social media, or email to share. Choose what fits the moment: “quick with a QR code” or “flexible with text.” ▶▶▶ Make packing clear and satisfying. With All set?, head out with less worry about forgetting something.

NOTE: The app interface is currently in Japanese only. The App Store listing is in English, but the app itself is not yet localized. When you realize you won't hit the deadline, what you actually need is the answer to "so what do I change?" Deadline Backsolve computes the shortfall and gives you concrete fixes: "push the deadline 3 days", "add 45 minutes per working day", "cut 4 pages". Real numbers, not a warning label. ■ Three inputs. Thirty seconds. What, how much, by when. That's the whole setup. Per-weekday hours and finer settings can wait until later. ■ You only look at today The home screen says "Today: 8 pages." That's it. No Gantt charts, no dense tables. Tap "+1 page" when you're done. ■ It follows your real week One hour on weekdays, three on weekends? Your quota is distributed by the time you actually have, not spread evenly into a plan you were never going to keep. ■ It learns your real pace It starts from an estimate, then switches to your measured minutes-per-unit once you have logged enough work. You never have to re-tune the estimate yourself. ■ Recovery plans, computed - Switch to a later registered deadline (with hours gained) - Extend the deadline by N days - Add N minutes per working day - Cut N units - Finish each unit within N minutes - Open up a day you had marked as rest Tap any of them to apply it to the plan immediately. ■ A focus timer that survives a crash It stores the start time and takes the difference, rather than ticking every second. Close the app, crash the app, it keeps counting. And it never plays a sound effect. Ever. ■ It does not go online No account. No server. No ads. No tracking. Your data lives on the device. Move it with a JSON export/import when you change phones. There is no sync to corrupt. ■ One-time purchase. No add-ons. Everything is unlocked at purchase. Unlimited projects and logs. No subscription. Works for comics, novels, illustration books and merch, but also for article deliveries, reports and theses — anything with an amount and a due date. Name the unit whatever you like.
