Packstack App

The Backpacking Packing App

Only for iPhone

Free · Designed for iPhone

iPhone

Organize your gear, build and share packing lists, and track your pack weight. Built for backpackers and hikers who count every gram. Packstack is the free packing list and gear management app built for backpackers and ultralight hikers. Track every ounce, organize your inventory, build trip-specific packing lists, and know your base weight before you hit the trail. GEAR INVENTORY Add all your gear to a single, searchable inventory. Log the brand, model, weight, and category for each item. Packstack keeps everything organized so you can see exactly what you own and what it weighs. PACKING LISTS Build packing lists for each trip by pulling items from your inventory. Gear is organized by category — shelter, sleep system, cook kit, clothing, and more. See your total pack weight, base weight, and worn weight at a glance. REUSABLE KITS Save groups of gear as reusable kits. Create a "Cook Kit," "Sleep System," or "Day Hike Essentials" kit once, then add it to any trip in seconds. No more rebuilding the same list every time. WEIGHT TRACKING Packstack automatically calculates your total pack weight, base weight (everything minus consumables), and worn weight. Switch between imperial (oz/lb) and metric (g/kg) at any time — all weights update instantly. IMPORT YOUR GEAR Switching from another app? Import your existing gear list from Lighterpack CSV exports or any generic CSV file. Your entire inventory transfers over in seconds. SHARE YOUR SETUP Every trip has a shareable link that anyone can view — no account required. Share your packing list with hiking partners, gear forums, or friends who want to see your setup. TRIP PLANNING Create trips with dates and details, then build one or more packs for each trip. Perfect for planning multi-day hikes where you want to compare different loadouts. GEAR CATALOG Search from thousands of products in the Packstack gear catalog when adding items to your inventory. Find the exact brand, model, and weight without looking it up yourself. FREE TO USE Packstack is completely free. No ads, no paywalls for core features. Sign up with your email, Google, or Apple account and start organizing your gear in minutes. Available on iOS and at app.packstack.io. Your inventory, packing lists, and trips sync across all your devices. Questions or feedback? Reach me at jerad@packstack.io — I'd love to hear from you.
