Limits & notes

So the operation doesn't surprise you, here are the most important characteristics and limits at a glance.

No user account

There is no registration and no login. Which lists are "yours" is only remembered by the app locally on your current device. From this it follows:

  • Save the link to important lists. Only via the link can you find a list again on another device or after clearing your browser data.
  • There is no automatic synchronisation across multiple devices – the shared basis is always the link.

Anyone with the link can fully edit the list – unless you restrict that with a password (see Password & collaboration).

Concurrent use

  • Checking off by several people works simultaneously; check marks are not lost.
  • Editing the structure can only ever be done by one person at a time.
  • Free texts and weights (notes, "to do" texts, weight entries) have no conflict protection: with simultaneous editing, the last saved input wins.

Fixed limits in the wizard

  • People: at least 1, at most 9.
  • Trip length: as a fixed date or in flexible levels from 1 day to "longer than 1 month" – the quantities calculated in the list are constant from about 1 month onward (a longer trip does not increase the quantities further).

Web app in the browser

The packing list generator is a web app and runs in the browser. There is no dedicated app in the App/Play Store, no guaranteed offline use and no private, login-protected area.

Free & funding

Using it is free. The service is funded, among other things, via affiliate recommendations for matching products – these are transparently marked as "Ad" (Amazon affiliate; there are no extra costs for you).
