PackGoat for iOS

The Story

PackGoat was built by Fredrik, an independent iOS developer from Norway, out of personal frustration with last-minute packing. Always forgetting something, always overpacking, always stressed before a trip. He built the app he wished existed.

“I always packed at the last minute. I forgot essentials. I overpacked. I stressed. So I built the tool I wished existed. One that tells me exactly what to pack and how much.”
Fredrik, founder of PackGoat

What It Does

Never start from scratch again

Users build reusable packing templates for their go-to gear. Toiletries, hiking kit, business essentials. Every template adds to a trip in one tap with every item included.

Always the right amount

Items carry quantity rules: fixed, per day, per night, or a combination of both. PackGoat calculates the exact amount for any trip length automatically.

Every gram under control

Users add weight to items and see their total bag weight update in real time. Relevant for frequent flyers avoiding overweight fees, hikers managing pack weight, and anyone travelling light.

A list built for this exact trip

PackGoat can generate a tailored starting list based on destination, activities, trip dates, and real weather data. No blank page, no generic checklist.

Share trips with family and friends

Users can share a trip as a copy. The recipient gets their own independent version of the list to pack from, with all items already included.
