About

Carrywise Packing Lists

Read full description

Carrywise Packing Lists helps you organize reusable trip checklists with sections, quantities, categories, packed states, and completion progress. Start blank, reuse a saved template, or open Starter Builder in the trip editor. Choose Weekend, Business, or Outdoors; select a Warm, Cool, or Mixed climate; and set the number of days. Carrywise uses bundled on-device rules to propose an editable checklist. Append only missing items, or explicitly confirm before replacing a checklist. Matching items keep their packed state. Create and edit every item, assign it to Carry-on, Checked bag, Personal item, or your own bag name, and filter the checklist by bag without changing overall progress. Group items by section, mark what is packed, and save useful lists as templates for the next trip. The history view keeps previous lists and lightweight summaries from your entries so you can reuse what worked. Everything works locally on this iPhone. Starter Builder is rule-based and works offline. There are no accounts, external analytics, cloud services, or paid features in the launch release.

Explore mode keeps your route history and fog on your device. FRONTIERS Sign in to capture territory by walking closed loops. Territory can change hands when a later capture covers it. The mode includes simulated competitors. Nearby rankings reflect the visible arena; country and global rankings are simulated benchmarks.
