Pack smarter, not harder. MasterPacker takes the guesswork out of packing. Tell it who's going, how you're getting there, and what you'll be doing — it builds a personalized packing list in seconds, then keeps everyone in sync from the first day of planning to the moment you're finally unpacked. Smart suggestions from day one Add your travelers (and pets), pick your activities — hiking, a business trip, the beach — and MasterPacker builds your starting packing list automatically. It checks the weather at your destination too, so you're not caught without a jacket or an umbrella. Never forget the basics Save each traveler's — and pet's — go-to essentials once. From then on, they're added to every new trip automatically. No re-typing your toothbrush and phone charger every single time. Built for how you actually pack Going skiing? Hitting the gym on a business trip? Build a reusable bag for any purpose and add it to any trip in one tap — MasterPacker remembers what goes in it so you don't have to. Organize your way See your packing list grouped by traveler, or by which suitcase or carry-on each item belongs in. Switch views anytime, whatever makes sense for how you're actually packing that day. Pack together Traveling with family or friends? Share a trip so everyone can add, check off, and pack from the same list — no more "did you pack the sunscreen?" texts. No sign-up. No account. Just packing. MasterPacker uses your existing iCloud account to keep everything synced across your own devices. There's nothing to set up and nothing extra to remember. Whether it's a weekend getaway or a two-week trip, MasterPacker makes sure you show up with everything you need — and nothing you don't.
