My wife plans trips like a NASA engineer. So I spent 3 months building her an app.
She doesn’t just make a packing list.
She makes a packing list per bag!
Not “travel stuff” — literally which bag gets the adapter, which one gets the passport, and which documents she needs for each specific country.
For years she was juggling Notes, Google Docs, and random apps at the same time. It worked, kind of. But nothing was actually built for someone who thinks this deeply about travel.
So one evening I just… started building something. No plans to launch it, no roadmap. Just me trying to make one person’s life slightly less chaotic.
Somewhere around week three she ask me: “Can it show places with time slots by day?” So I added that. Then: “Can I attach my boarding pass directly to the trip?” Added that too. Then the AI route thing happened and I completely lost track of time.
Three months later I had something that looked like an actual app. I’m not a designer — the first four versions were genuinely embarrassing. Fifth one was the one.
At some point I thought — she really can’t be the only person like this.
So I shipped it!
Built it with React Native and Supabase.
2 rejections (not related to functionality, but to Privacy Policy doc and Photos permission screen).
And finally it’s on the App Store now!
If you’re the kind of person who actually enjoys planning trips — or you live with someone who is — try it and feel free to jump into the comments with the feedback and ideas for improvements!
I’d love to know what you think!
