Offgrid NYC is the local best friend you wish you had in New York. Every spot in the app is a real video, filmed on location: the big icons from angles worth your time, and the corners only locals know. SEE IT BEFORE YOU GO Scroll a feed of real videos. No stock photos, no guessing what a place looks like. From the Empire State Building to a Nolita backstreet, if it's in the app, someone stood there with a camera. LIKE SPOTS, GET A GUIDE Save the places that catch your eye and the app turns them into a day-by-day guide. Stops are grouped by neighbourhood and ordered so you're not crossing the city twice, and the guide rebuilds itself whenever you add more. WALK IT Open a day on the map and start walking. You get the walking route from stop to stop, and when a leg is too far on foot, the app tells you to take the subway instead. KNOW WHY IT MATTERS Every spot comes with the story behind it: what happened there, what to look for, and what's worth your time nearby. KEEP IT ORGANISED Build your own lists for coffee, rooftops, viewpoints or whatever you're planning. Set your travel dates and the guide fits your stay. If you happen to walk past somewhere you saved, the app can quietly let you know. LOCALS' RECOMMENDATIONS Alongside your own guide, browse curated walks put together by people who actually live here. BOOK WHEN YOU'RE READY Tickets, tours, tables and places to stay through partners including GetYourGuide, Viator, Tiqets, Booking.com, OpenTable and Resy. NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING No sign-up, no login, no ads. Your precise location never leaves your device, and we don't track you across apps or websites. Offgrid NYC covers New York City. Some booking links earn us a small commission at no extra cost to you. You always book directly with the partner, who sets the price, terms and cancellation policy.

About

Roundtrip Packing List

Features
Read full description

Every packing list forgets you the moment you land. This one keeps the bag. Pick your luggage and it fills as you tick things off — carry-on, checked bag, rucksack, whatever you're taking. Each packed thing drops into the case and settles where it fits, so one glance tells you how full you are and what is still out. Then it does the part a checklist cannot. Because the bag still knows what went into it, the journey home is a sweep of the room rather than a list. Bedside, for the charger plugged in behind it. Bathroom, for the hook on the door. Wardrobe and drawers, for the one nobody opens twice. Safe and pockets, for the passport you hid carefully. Anything you cannot find is written onto that trip's tag — so the next trip with that bag opens with a warning instead of a surprise. • Your bags fill as you pack — see what is in each at a glance • A room-by-room sweep on the way home, grouped by where things actually hide • Whatever gets left behind is recorded on that trip's tag • Make each bag yours: name, kind, size and any colour you like • Kits that add the obvious things — documents, tech, washbag, clothes No account, no ads, no server. Everything stays on your phone. Free for 7 days, then one payment — roughly a coffee — and Roundtrip is yours for good. Made by one person who kept leaving chargers in hotel rooms.
