Using the app

Making a list

Tap + at the top right. You can name it — “Lisbon, September” — or leave the name blank and take the name of whichever starting point you pick. Nine lists come pre-written; Empty list starts from nothing.

Adding things

Type in the field at the bottom and press return. It stays put and keeps the keyboard, because adding one thing usually means adding four.

Two shortcuts: 3 socks adds three socks, and so does socks x3. A number too big to be a count is left alone, so 2026 diary is a diary and not two thousand of them.

Adding something that is already there

It bumps the row you already have rather than making a second one — and unticks it, because more of something you had packed means you are not finished with it. Case and a trailing “s” do not matter: “Sock” and “socks” are the same thing.

Ticking things off

Tap anywhere on the row. The row does not move afterwards, deliberately: a list that reorders itself under your thumb is one where the next tap lands on the wrong thing.

Headings

Making one

Swipe a row right and choose Edit, or hold it and choose Edit, then type a heading. Anything you type becomes a heading. The chips under the field are the headings that list already uses, so you can tap one instead of spelling it again.

Why did my item file itself?

If the list already has a heading the words belong under, new rows go there — “passport” lands under Documents if that list has a Documents heading. It only ever uses headings you have already written; it will not invent one. On a list with no headings, everything stays unfiled, which is what a plain list should be.

Renaming or removing a heading

Tap the heading itself — the “…” after the name means it does something — and choose Rename or Remove heading. Every row under it comes along. The same two are under Headings in the list's menu.

Renaming a heading to the name of another heading merges the two.

Getting rid of a heading without losing the items

Remove heading does exactly that: the rows stay on the list, just unfiled.

Reusing a list

Clearing the ticks

In the list's menu, choose Clear ticks. Every item stays; only what you had packed is forgotten. This is the whole point of the app — the list is ready for the next trip.

A variation on a list

Duplicate list gives you a copy with nothing ticked, so you can delete the four things this trip does not need without touching the original.

Reordering

Choose Reorder in the menu, then drag by the handles. Dragging works inside a heading; to move a row to a different heading, edit the row and change its heading.

Anything else

Is there a widget, or an Apple Watch app?

Not in this version.

Do my lists sync between devices?

No. Everything is stored on the one iPhone, and the app makes no network requests at all. If you restore that iPhone from an iCloud backup your lists come back with it.

Is it free?

Yes, with no advertising, no in-app purchases and no subscription.
