PackKit is a smart packing and inventory management app that helps you organize and track your belongings for any trip. Build a personal inventory of everything you own, create trips, and check items off as you pack.

​
Creating Your Account

PackKit supports three ways to sign up. All methods create the same account and give you full access to the app.

  2. Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple password.
  3. Choose whether to share your real email address or use Apple’s private relay.
  4. PackKit creates your account automatically.

Your First Time In

When you sign in for the first time, PackKit fills your account with sample data, so you can see how the app works before you add your own gear:
  • Example inventory items: clothing, documents, electronics, toiletries, sunglasses and bags, each with a weight. They include a carry-on liquid that shows the TSA liquid badge.
  • A sample trip, “Weekend Getaway”: it starts two weeks after the day you sign up and is already the active trip, so the Pack tab has something to show. Its items are packed into containers, with a laptop bag inside a backpack and a suitcase marked as a checked bag.
The sample trip doesn’t count toward the free plan’s 3 trips. Delete it and start fresh whenever you’re ready. See How do I get rid of the sample data?.
You’ll land on the Inventory tab. From here you can:
  • See the example items organized by category
  • Tap an item’s pencil icon to edit it
  • Add your own items with the + button, or add a whole list at once with bulk add

​
The Four Tabs

PackKit is organized into four tabs at the bottom of the screen:
The Inventory tab showing items organized by category such as Documents and Clothing, each with a pencil icon to edit and a trash icon to delete, and the four-tab navigation bar at the bottom of the screen.

​
Basic Workflow

  1. Build your inventory. Add the items you own once.
  2. Create a trip. Set a destination, dates, and number of travelers.
  3. Add items to the trip. Pull from your inventory and organize them into containers.
  4. Pack. Open the Pack tab and check items off as you go.
  5. Save as template. If it was a great list, save it for next time.

PackKit supports dark mode. Toggle it any time in the Settings tab. Your preference is saved to your account and persists across devices.
