Christmas is 14 weekends away. What are you doing with them? Weekend Left counts your time in weekends, not days โ€” because weekends are when you actually get to do things. Set the date, list what you want to do before it, and watch the number come down. Not sure where to start? Weekend Left suggests the days people around you count down to โ€” Christmas, New Year, Diwali, Thanksgiving, Boxing Day, Golden Week โ€” each already showing how many weekends are left. One tap makes it your goal. Count down together. Share a goal with friends or family and everyone sees the same number. - Countdown goals with target dates - Suggested goals for your country and language - A bucket list for each goal - Deadlines that repeat and remind you before they lapse โ€” permits, licences, leases - Days, weekends and months remaining - An icon and colour per goal, plus tags and notes - Groups with invite codes - Home and lock screen widgets FREE: 3 goals, 20 bucket items, 1 group. PRO: Unlimited everything. One-time purchase.

Keys? Wallet? Packed is a quick check you do at the door every morning, so nothing gets left behind. Make a group for each routine you repeat โ€” your commute, school bag, or gym โ€” and just check it before you leave. Check items right from the Home Screen widget, without opening the app. Every check resets on its own the next day, so there is nothing to clear. Features: - Check items from the widget, and mark a whole group packed in one tap - Start from ready lists: commute, school, gym, overnight trip, business trip, doctor's visit, and emergency bag (the items are common examples โ€” change them freely) - Reminders by group, on the days and time you choose (weekdays for work, Mon/Wed/Fri for the gym) - Reorder items, add counts (ร—2), and short notes - Make as many groups as you like - Checks reset automatically every day Handy before a trip, too. No account, no ads, no subscription. Your lists are stored on your device and are not sent to any server.

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Packed at none against Weekend Left's 1. Packed also leads on ads (none vs shown). Weekend Left's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
