Add your categories
Check out the default categories in Settings and change them to your need. You can remove, add, rename categories. The default are just suggestions and won't be updated if you change them.
Add Your Gear
Start on the Gear page and click + New Gear Item. Fill in the name, category, weight, and brand. Repeat for each item you own. Click on Edit Mode in List View if you prefer Excel-like Edit.
Tip: Use the CSV import to bulk-add gear from a spreadsheet (Pro version)
Create a Trip
Go to Trips and click + New Trip. Give it a name, set dates, choose a location, and set an optional target weight.
Build Your Pack List
Inside the trip, click Add Gear. Select items from your inventory. PackLite instantly totals your base weight and flags items that put you over your target.
Optimise
Review the weight breakdown. Sort by heaviest items. Swap heavier items for lighter alternatives in your catalog, or mark non-essentials as “leave at home.”
Hit the Trail
Use the checklist view to tick off items as you pack your bag. Change the trip status to In Progress when you head out, and completed when you return.

- Save a finished pack list as a pack template so you can load the same setup into future trips instantly.
