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.
A shared link means full editing
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).
