FAQ
How does the clothing quantity get calculated?
Underwear and socks scale one pair per day (assuming daily changes), shirts scale roughly one per two days (assuming some reuse), and bottoms scale roughly one per three days — reasonable defaults you can adjust once the list is generated.
What trip types are available?
General, beach, cold weather, business, and camping — each adds a category of trip-specific items on top of the universal documents/electronics/toiletries/clothing categories.
Where is my checklist progress saved?
In your browser's local storage, on your device only — checking items off persists between visits on the same browser but isn't backed up or synced anywhere.
Is my trip data uploaded anywhere?
No — the list is generated and your progress is saved entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
