Everything a good list should be.

§ 01

Tactical Scan

Lay your gear out flat and snap one photo — AI catalogs every item with its name, brand, material, and estimated weight.

§ 02

Packing Index Score

Every trip scored 0–100 on weight discipline, readiness, and bag limits — with base vs wearable weight and tips to pack lighter.

§ 03

Atmospheric Matching

Your destination forecast is checked against your list. Missing a rain shell or sunscreen? One tap adds it.

§ 04

Weighed bags

Sort items into carry-on, personal, and checked bags, and watch a live gauge keep you under your airline's limit.

§ 05

Drafted by AI

Generate a starter list from your destination and dates, then run a second pass to catch what you missed.

§ 06

Loadouts & rotation

Group gear into weighed modules — Tech Pouch, Camera Cube — and let fabric-aware rotation trim how many garments you carry.

§ 07

Day by day

Assign items to each day of the trip and pack against a plan instead of a pile.

§ 08

Reusable templates

Save any trip as a blueprint, start from curated packs, and compare two lists side by side.

§ 09

Synced everywhere

Your trips follow you across iPhone and the web — with reminders before every departure, in six languages.

Field questions.

What is base weight?

Everything you carry except what you wear. The Packing Index tracks base vs wearable weight automatically and scores each trip on an ultralight scale.

Can AI really build my packing list?

Draft from your destination and dates, or photograph your gear laid out flat — Tactical Scan identifies each item with an estimated weight, and you approve everything first.

Does it handle airline weight limits?

Give any bag a limit and a live gauge shows exactly how far under or over you are as you pack.

Is it free?

Yes — free on iPhone and at packingindex.com, with trips synced between both.

Operator passport

A field record of every trip.

Trips filed, items packed, commendations earned — your travel history, kept like a logbook.
