Pack Rat
Paste the trip, the forecast, your plans and your bag limit. Get a packing list built from outfits you'll actually wear, plus what to wear on the way and what to leave.
- You paste
- Describe the trip. Where, how many days and nights, the forecast, and what you'll actually do. A wedding, a hike or one nice dinner changes the list.
- You get
- At the door. Passport, phone charger, EU plug is fine, keys, boarding pass downloaded, washing machine means two tops can go.
- When to use it
- Use it the night before a trip, when the bed is covered in clothes and the bag won't close, or a week before if you want to know what to buy or wash.
- When to skip it
- It doesn't check the live forecast or your airline's rules, so paste those in. It can't see your wardrobe, so it suggests pieces by type and you pick the actual ones. For gear-heavy trips like a long hike or a ski week, use a proper gear list.

Trip Cost Splitter
Paste the messy list of who paid for what on a group trip. Get who owes whom, settled in the fewest possible transfers.
- You paste
- Dump the expenses. Scroll the group chat or your notes and paste every expense as-is: what, how much, who paid. Typos and mixed formats are fine. Write down who skipped what in plain words.
- You get
- Settled. Three transfers, smallest possible. Totals check out to the cent.
- When to use it
- Use it after a group trip, when twenty expenses sit in a chat, there are two currencies, and nobody wants to do the math.
- When to skip it
- It does not move money or fetch live exchange rates. Give it the rate you agreed on.
