Pack is a very simple packing list, so you can get packed quickly and easily. There's no need to maintain separate lists for each trip. There's no need to guess and enter unnecessary details like weight or cost for each item. It has a clean and elegant appearance, without blinding you with wacky colors and images. Pack comes with a catalog containing hundreds of items as a starting point. Quickly add, edit or delete them to make your own personalized list. When preparing for a trip, simply skim through the list, checking or unchecking items as needed for this journey. When ready, flip over to start packing, crossing off items as you put them in your suitcase. The Choose and Pack lists can be arranged by item name, tag, or person name, and can be filtered to show only packed, packed at the end, or all. Pack is completely free. Try it today!
