PackBetter: Travel Companion

Smart packing lists

Build a list around the trip, check items off, and see what is still unpacked before you leave.

Packing for families and groups

Save travelers and reusable travel parties so a family or group list is not rebuilt from scratch every time.

Shared lists via iCloud

Share a trip when you want other people on it to see the same lists and plans. Sharing stays limited to the trips you choose.

Travel documents

Keep confirmations, notes, and travel files with the trip so you are not hunting through a camera roll at the airport.

Reservations, including train and transit

Save flights, hotels, tickets, and train or transit reservations, with stations, times, and confirmation details on the trip timeline.

Trip planning

Make a day-by-day plan, or describe the trip in a few words and review the draft before you keep it.

Budgeting and expense splitting

The Tools tab estimates a trip budget, splits expenses, converts currency, and calculates a tip.

Time zones, jet lag, and layovers

Check the time difference, think through jet lag, and look at a layover before the connection gets tight.

Passport expiration and weather

Check a passport date against the trip, and see packing weather before you close the suitcase. The same screen includes tipping customs, emergency numbers, a plug adapter guide, and a language and phrase cheatsheet.

Travel eSIM resources

Find mobile-data and travel eSIM resources when you need a connection away from home.
