Packing list app for iPhone
Travel Packing List App for iPhone
Answer a few questions about your trip and Voyalist writes the whole list: quantities that match how long you are away, and one line on every item explaining why it is there.
Free. iOS 17.0 or later. No account.
How your list gets written
Four screens, about a minute, and you never start from a blank page again.
- Tell Voyalist the tripWhere you are going, the departure and return date, and how many adults, children and pets are coming.
- Tick what you will doBeach, swimming, hiking, city break, business, formal dinner, winter sports, camping, festival, road trip, nightlife, photography. Each one brings its own kit.
- Say where you sleep and how you travelHotel, apartment, hostel, camping or with friends. Flight, car, train, bus or ferry. A hotel drops the shampoo and the towel; a flight adds the clear liquids bag.
- Tap Generate listYou get a checklist grouped into documents, essentials, clothing, toiletries, tech, health and activities, with a count on everything that needs one.
What makes the list worth keeping
Counts, not just item names
Seven days means eight pairs of socks, seven tops and three pairs of trousers. Say you can do laundry and the clothing counts fall by about a third from five days upward. See the whole table.
Every row says why
Power bank: long travel days drain batteries. Liquids in a clear bag: carry on security rule. Padlock: secure hostel lockers. You can tell at a glance which items you can drop.
Nothing is ever deleted
Finished trips move to a searchable archive. Duplicate last summer's list in one tap and you are packing in seconds instead of starting over.
Split the shared gear
Add everyone on the trip, then assign who brings the toothpaste, the sunscreen and the charger. One charger, not five. Assigning is part of Pro.

What it costs
Free covers two active trips at a time, an unlimited archive of finished ones, your own custom items, and checking everything off. The free version shows ads: a banner under the tab bar and an occasional full screen ad.
Voyalist Pro removes the ads, lifts the two trip limit and unlocks assigning who brings what. It is $3.99 per week, $19.99 per year with a 7 day free trial, or $34.99 once for lifetime access.
No account, and no sync. Voyalist never asks you to sign in and never uploads a trip. The other side of that is honest to say: your lists live on the iPhone you made them on. An iPhone backup carries them to a new phone, but your travel partner's phone will not see them.
Frequently asked questions
Does Voyalist use AI?
No. The list comes from a fixed set of rules: a base kit every trip needs, one template for each activity you tick, and adjustments for your lodging, transport, travelers and trip length. The same answers always produce the same list, and nothing is sent to a server.
Does Voyalist need an internet connection?
No. Voyalist runs on your iPhone. There is no account, no login and no server call, so your list is written and stored offline.
How does Voyalist decide how many shirts to pack?
Underwear and socks follow one per day plus a spare, up to ten. Tops land at roughly one per day, up to eight. Trousers go one pair per three days, up to four. If you tell Voyalist you can do laundry, the clothing counts drop by about a third on trips of five days or longer.
Is Voyalist free?
Yes. Voyalist is free to download. You can keep two active trips at a time, check items off, add your own, and keep an unlimited archive of past trips. The free version shows ads.
Does the free version show ads?
Yes. A banner sits under the tab bar, and a full screen ad can appear occasionally: never in your first session, and never more than once every three minutes. Voyalist Pro removes both.
How much does Voyalist Pro cost?
Voyalist Pro is $3.99 per week, $19.99 per year with a 7 day free trial, or $34.99 once for lifetime access. Pro removes the ads, lifts the two trip limit and unlocks assigning who brings the shared gear.
Can I share a list with the people I travel with?
You can add everyone on the trip to a list and assign who brings each shared item, so the group packs one charger instead of five. The list and the assignments stay on your iPhone. There is no cross device sync, so one person keeps the master list. Assigning is part of Voyalist Pro.
What happens to my past trips?
Nothing is ever deleted. Finished trips move to an archive you can search, and any past trip can be duplicated in one tap as the starting point for the next one.
Can I add items the app did not think of?
Yes. Add your own item to any list and it is marked as added by you. Custom items travel with the trip, so they come along when you duplicate it next year.
What iPhone do I need?
Voyalist needs iOS 17.0 or later and is built for iPhone. Your trips are stored in the app's own folder on the device, so an iPhone backup carries them to a new phone.
Free on the App Store.
