Packing Index
The smart packing companion - build, track, and optimize what you carry for every trip across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and the web.
Overview
Packing Index is the travel-side companion to the Carry Index ecosystem. Where Carry Index ranks your everyday carry, Packing Index helps you plan it for the road - assembling smart, reusable bag loadouts, tracking real gram weights against airline limits, and refining your kit trip after trip.
Built natively in Swift and SwiftUI for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS and backed by Supabase, the app features the Operator Book Bag loadout view, an interactive MapKit Expedition Map and Field Log diary, the community Shared Library, private Operator and Insurance Dossiers, the opt-in Index Leaderboard, interactive Home Screen and desktop Widgets, Siri and Shortcuts App Intents, and animated mascots that chill in the app while you plan.
Core Capabilities
Operator Book Bag & Packing Score
Organize gear by bag or by day, calculate base weight vs. worn weight automatically, and earn a live 0-100 Packing Index score with destination weather forecasts powered by Open-Meteo.
Field Logs & Insurance Vault
Visualize every journey on an interactive MapKit globe, record post-trip Field Logs, and maintain an itemized Insurance Dossier with serial numbers, replacement valuations, and exportable reports.
AI Scan Pack & Blueprints
Save modular packing Blueprints for recurring trip types, clone proven community templates from the Shared Library, and use AI Scan Pack to turn photos or lists into structured gear manifests.
Widgets, Siri Intents & In-App Mascots
Check countdowns and packing progress right from iOS and macOS Widgets, log items hands-free with Siri and Shortcuts App Intents, and pick a mascot that chills in the app alongside your trip dashboard.
