Frequently Asked Questions

Packy is a smart packing list app that helps you never forget what to pack again. Create customizable packing lists for any trip type, share them with travel companions, and check off items as you pack. Available for iOS and Android.

Packy is free to use. The only limitation on the free plan is that you can create one packing list. With that list you get full cloud sync, collaboration, and all other features — no restrictions.

Yes! Packy works fully offline. Your packing lists are stored on your device and available anytime, even without an internet connection. Changes sync automatically when you're back online.

Packy is available on iOS (iPhone and iPad) through the App Store and Android devices through the Google Play Store. Your data syncs across devices when signed into your account.

Open Packy and tap the "+" button. Give your list a name, then add items manually or choose from our curated categories.

Yes! Collaboration is one of Packy's best features. Tap the share icon on any list to invite others via a link. They can view and edit the list in real-time, check off their own items, and add anything missing.

When editing a list, tap "Add Category" to create custom groupings like "Beach Gear" or "Baby Items." You can rename, reorder, and delete categories anytime.

Absolutely! That's the beauty of Packy. After a trip, your list is saved. For your next similar trip, just uncheck all items (there's a "reset" button) and you're ready to pack again.

Tap an item to edit it, and you'll find an option to assign it to an existing category or create a new one. This keeps your list organized and makes it easy to pack section by section.

Yes. Packy stores your data securely in data centers located in Frankfurt, Germany. We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit and at rest. We never sell your personal information.

You can print your packing list as a PDF from within the app. Export to other file formats is not currently supported.

Go to Settings > Account > Delete Account. This permanently removes your account and all associated data from our servers. Local data on your device remains until you uninstall the app.

Create a list in Packy and build it around your trip type (beach, business, camping). Add items category by category and include personal essentials like medications first.

Create your packing list a week before your trip. This gives time to buy missing items, do laundry, and pack thoughtfully. Start physically packing 2-3 days before to avoid last-minute stress.

Keep valuables, electronics, documents, medications, and a change of clothes in your carry-on. These items are irreplaceable or essential if your checked bag is delayed.

Choose versatile pieces that mix and match. Pick quick-dry fabrics you can wash and rewear. Plan to do laundry during your trip. Wear your bulkiest items on travel days.

Phone chargers, medications, power adapters, sunglasses, and undergarments top the list. Items used in your morning routine are often forgotten because they're still in use while packing.
