Packing List - Josh Approved
No paywall. No ads.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Open source, pay what you want. Built by one person, with no ads, no tracking, and no accounts, ever. No paywall, today and always.
packing checklist that builds itself from the kind of trip you're taking. Pick the trip type and how long you're gone, and the list comes pre-filled with the right quantities, not a blank page. No paywall. No ads. No tracking. No accounts.
What it does:
- Build a list from your trip type and length, mostly filled in, not blank
- Mix trip types (beach, business, hiking, cold weather, kids) and the quantities adjust to match
- Set how many of each with a simple stepper, a pair of socks per day, and so on
- Split the list across the people packing, so everyone knows their part
- Check items off and watch each trip's progress fill in
- Save a trip and duplicate it the next time you pack
Your data stays with you. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
Your trips live in a database on your phone. If your device backs up to iCloud, a copy of the app's data rides along in that backup, on your own iCloud account, which the studio doesn't operate and can't see.

What it doesn't do:
No paywall. No ads. No tracking. No accounts. No subscriptions. The whole app is the whole app. Every feature is here, no upsell.
Josh Approved is supported by the people who use it. No ads, no subscriptions, no data harvest. What keeps this sustainable is whether it's worth a few dollars to you. If it is, there's an optional tip jar inside the app.

Supporting the app is simpler: one tip jar, and the old separate donation prompt is gone
The new-trip button no longer sits on top of the Send feedback button at the bottom of your trip list
Opening the share screen is steadier, so sharing a trip starts cleanly every time
Your lists load a little faster, and saving feedback is more reliable
