Packing, done right
Packing-list app – the list you reuse every time
Write down what has to come along once, properly, and then never start from scratch again. MerkIchMir is a packing list to tick off: charger not forgotten, passport ticked – and after the holiday you reset everything and the list is ready for next time.
How to build your packing list
- Create a new list – "Holiday packing", "Camping", "Festival".
- Add everything that regularly comes along. For tech stuff, a photo instead of a long description.
- While packing, tap it: packed = ticked, slides down.
- After the trip, "restore all done" – the list stands ready for the next one.
A template that fits you
Printed standard packing lists off the internet never quite fit: too much stuff you never take, and the one thing you always forget is missing. Your own list in MerkIchMir gets better with every trip – you add what was missing once, and from then on it's on there.
Sharing with the travel group
If several of you are going, you share the packing list: in the 🛠 menu tap "Share list", sign in once with your email, then add the fellow travellers' email addresses. Each signs in with theirs and sees what has to come along together – tent, cool box, washing-up kit – and ticks off what's already in the car. No "I thought you were bringing that". More on that on Sharing lists.
What people use the packing list for
- Holidays & city trips – the base list, the same every time
- Camping & van life – gear that's easy to overlook
- Festivals – from wellies to power bank
- Hospital bag & nursery backpack – lists where nothing may be missing
Frequently asked
Can I keep the packing list for next time?
Yes. After the trip you reset all the checkmarks and the list is fully ready for the next one – or you copy it into a new list.
Can the whole travel group look at one packing list?
Yes. You add the fellow travellers' email addresses to the shared list; each signs in with theirs and ticks off what they've packed – handy for family, camping or a festival.
Are there ready-made templates?
You build your own list once and reuse it every time. That's the trick – a template that fits your travel style.
Can I put photos on the packing list?
Yes. Charger, adapter or that one cable – just photograph it instead of describing it.
What does the app cost?
The app is free, and so is your first shared list. Every further shared list is a one-time purchase of EUR 0.99.
