Saved packing lists
How does saving work? (private, on this device)
  • Stored on this device only. Saving your packing lists costs nothing and needs no sign-in.
  • Saved in this browser only. Your packing lists are stored on this device and never uploaded to a server, so they stay private, but they do not sync to your other devices or browsers.
  • Clearing browser data removes them. Private / incognito windows do not keep saved packing lists. On a shared computer, anyone using this browser can see them, so use New or Delete when you are done, or export the file and delete it.
  • Nothing here is behind a paywall. If cross-device sync is ever added, it would be a separate optional account feature; local saving stays free.

A packing list you build once and reuse forever

The secret to stress-free packing is not a better memory; it is a reusable list. This packing list starts with sensible categories, Clothes, Toiletries, Electronics, Documents, and Other, each filled with the items most trips need. Adjust the quantities, add anything specific to your trip, and delete what does not apply.

Grouping items by category means you can pack a whole zone at once and spot obvious gaps: a Documents section makes a forgotten passport very hard to miss. Tick items off as they go into the bag and the packed counter updates live, so you always know exactly what is left.

When the trip is over, use Reset checks to untick everything and turn your finished list back into a fresh template for next time. You can print a clean checklist to carry on paper, or export a CSV with Category, Item, Qty, and Packed columns to keep a digital copy in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets.

Everything is saved to your own browser and never uploaded, so your packing template is private and waiting whenever the next trip comes up. There is no cost, and your list stays on your device until you clear it.

How the Packing List Works

  1. 01Start from the built-in categories (Clothes, Toiletries, Electronics, Documents, Other) and their common items.
  2. 02Add your own items and categories, set a quantity for anything you need more than one of, and remove what you do not need.
  3. 03Tick items off as you pack; the packed x of y counter updates live so you can see what is left.
  4. 04Print a clean checklist to carry with you, or export the whole list as a CSV, then use Reset checks to reuse it next trip.

Packing without the last-minute panic

The trick to stress-free packing is a reusable list, not a better memory. Group items by category so you can pack a whole zone at once and spot obvious gaps (a Documents category makes a forgotten passport very visible). Build the list a few days before you leave, tick things off as they go in the bag, and keep the finished list so next trip starts from a proven template instead of a blank page. Quantities matter for the boring but easy-to-miss things: chargers, adapters, and enough socks.

When to Use a Packing List

Use it before any trip: a weekend away, a long-haul holiday, a business trip, a camping weekend, or a house move where boxes need the same treatment as suitcases. It is especially helpful for families packing for several people, and for frequent travellers who want one master list they can adjust each time. Everything is saved in your browser, so your packing template is ready whenever the next trip comes up.

Common Use Cases

  • Pack for a holiday, weekend away, or business trip
  • Reuse one master checklist for every trip with Reset checks
  • Plan the trip dates alongside your list → Date Calculator

Tips

  • Build the list a few days early so you can add things as you remember them, not at the door.
  • Set quantities for the easy-to-forget multiples: chargers, adapters, underwear, and socks.
  • Keep the finished list and use Reset checks next time instead of starting from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the packed progress work?→
Every item has a checkbox, and the counter shows how many items you have ticked against the total, such as packed 12 of 20. It updates the moment you check or uncheck anything, so you always know how much is left without counting by hand.
Can I add my own categories and items?→
Yes. The list starts with sensible categories and common items, but you can add new items to any category, create brand-new categories, and delete anything you do not need. This lets you shape one general list into a beach trip, a ski trip, or a business trip.
What does the Reset checks button do?→
It unticks every item at once while keeping the list itself intact. That turns your finished list back into a fresh checklist for the next trip, so you never have to rebuild it. Your items, categories, and quantities all stay exactly as they were.
Can I print or export the list?→
Yes. The Print button gives you a clean, checkbox-friendly checklist to take with you on paper. The CSV export includes Category, Item, Qty, and whether each item is Packed, which opens in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets if you prefer a digital copy.
Is my packing list saved between trips?→
Yes, in your own browser, so it is waiting for you when you plan the next trip. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so it stays private to this device; using a private window or clearing browser data will remove the saved list.
