🧳 Packing list
A packing list made for your trip
Choose the kind of trip and the number of nights. voisNTS puts the list together — with the right number of socks.
Packing lists start from what you’re doing: a work trip needs a laptop charger, a ski trip needs goggles and thermal underwear. Pick one or more trip types and the nights, and voisNTS combines them with the basics everyone needs. Clothes scale with the length of the trip.
How it works
Start a packing list
Lists tab → + → Packing list. A sheet asks what kind of trip it is.
Pick trip types and nights
Choose one or more: Work, Ski, Camping, Beach, City, Hiking, Festival, Road trip, Flying, Abroad, With kids. Set the nights with − and +, then tap Make list.
Adjust
Remove what you don’t need (swipe left), change counts with − and +, or add your own items by voice or typing.
Pack
Tick items off as they go into the bag. The list header shows how many are packed.
Reuse it
After the trip, tap Unpack all: everything is unticked, ready for the next time.

Tips
- Combining is fine: a ski trip abroad with kids gets all three sets of items.
- Add another trip type later: List menu → Add items for a trip.
- Underwear, socks and T-shirts follow the number of nights.
- From 1.7: List menu → Use as my packing basics. New packing lists then start with your own basics instead of the standard ones, plus the trip types you pick.
