Indie App Spotlight: ‘Time2Pack’ – Your All-in-One Travel Companion

Welcome to Indie App Spotlight, a weekly series by DMN where we highlight the latest in indie app developments. If you’re a developer interested in featuring your app, please reach out to us.

Time2Pack is a comprehensive travel app designed for iPhone and iPad users, featuring an effective packing list function, packing guides, flight tracking, and much more. It serves as the ideal travel partner, significantly reducing the hassle often associated with trip preparations.

Key Features

One standout functionality of Time2Pack is its user-friendly packing list creation. Packing is a common source of anxiety for many travelers, often compounded by the fear of forgetting essential items. The app allows users to build detailed packing lists tailored to their destination, planned activities, and trip duration.

Once your packing list is established, the app categorizes items, distinguishing between what has been packed and what remains unpacked, providing clarity for users.

Additionally, the app boasts an attractive user interface that displays the weather forecast for your destination during your travel days. You can also track flights, review photos taken during your trip, save important documents, and jot down notes, making it a convenient centralized resource for all your travel-related needs.

About Time2Pack

Time2Pack was created in 2022 after co-founders Kate and Alex faced challenges on a last-minute trip when they forgot essential items, resulting in expenses of around 200 euros and a loss of travel time. This experience inspired them to develop the app, which officially launched in January 2023, initially focusing solely on packing lists. Since then, it has evolved significantly.

The app recently underwent a payment model overhaul, allowing most features—including unlimited trips and packing list suggestions—to be available for free. The Pro plan, priced at $1.99/month, $9.99 for 6 months, or $14.99/year, offers benefits like unlimited flight tracking (as opposed to just two for free), notifications for flight alterations, and additional customization options.

How to Download the App

Time2Pack can be downloaded for free on the App Store, offering most functionalities at no charge. For those interested in the Pro features, subscription options include $1.99/month, $9.99 for 6 months, or $14.99 annually. The app requires an iPhone or iPad running iOS 15 or later and is also compatible with macOS and visionOS as an iPad app.
