Two simple duties per meal — Meal Prep and Cleanup — assigned fairly across the group.

Two modes. Use one, the other, or both.

Plan the trip together, run the trip together — pick the mode you need. They work great on their own and even better side by side.

PLANNING MODE

Get the group aligned

Use this on its own to land on dates, a destination, lodging, and a budget — even if you'll handle the trip itself elsewhere.

Propose dates and let everyone vote on what works.
Compare destinations side-by-side with the group.
Track lodging options, links, and who's interested.
Estimate the budget so there are no surprises later.
TRIP MODE

Run the week smoothly

Jump straight in if the trip is already booked — meals, duties, groceries, packing, and shared expenses, no planning module required.

Plan meals together — nobody shows up with duplicate chili.
Auto-assign meal prep and cleanup so the work is fair.
Share one grocery list that updates in real time.
Track who paid for what and settle up with one tap.
NEW · PACKSMARTER

Everyone packs right. Nobody packs twice.

A personal checklist tailored to your trip — length, weather, and what you're actually doing there. Your list stays private; the group just sees who's ready to roll. Works for everyone but GREAT for overpackers!

Weather-aware
Pulls the forecast for your exact dates, so you pack for the real weather — not a guess.
Bag weight & travel rules
A running estimated carry-on weight and airline-friendly hints as you add things.
Shared group gear
Claim the tent, the coffee maker, the projector — so it comes exactly once.
Private by default
Your list is yours. Flip "I'm ready" to show the group you're set — without exposing a thing.

Common questions

The quick answers most groups want — split by where you are in the trip.

PLANNING MODE

Before you book

How do we agree on dates and a destination?+

Propose a few date ranges and destinations, then everyone votes. You can nudge people who haven't weighed in, and lock the winner when you're ready.

How do we keep track of lodging options?+

Drop rental links, capacity, and price into one shared board. Everyone can add options, mark interest, and vote — no more scrolling the group chat.

How does the budget estimate work?+

Set a rough per-person target and add line items for lodging, food, and extras. The group sees a running total before anyone commits money.

TRIP MODE

Once you're there

How does packing stay private?+

Your PackSmarter list is yours alone — no one sees your items or progress. The only thing shared is a simple "ready to go" signal when you flip it on.

How do I invite people to the trip?+

Share one link or code. Anyone who joins lands right in the trip — no accounts required to get started, and you can add whole families as guests.

How do guests work — can I add my whole family?+

Yes. Add extra adults and kids as guests under your name — they count toward headcounts and cost splits without each needing a login.
