# Inventory

> Build your personal catalog of items once, then reuse it across every trip.

Your inventory is a personal catalog of items you own. You build it once and reuse it across as many trips as you like. Think of it as your master packing list, covering everything you could possibly bring on any trip.

Common examples: shampoo, contact solution, sunscreen, perfume.

## Deleting an Item

Tap the **red trash icon** on the right side of any item to remove it permanently.

<Warning>Deleting an item from your inventory also removes it from any trips it was added to. If you only want to remove it from a specific trip, open that trip and remove it there instead.</Warning>
