Get Early AccessYou are three days from a family vacation and staring at an empty suitcase. You know you will forget something important. Sunscreen? Chargers? That one medication your kid needs? This prompt generates a complete, categorized packing list customized to your trip type, [DESTINATION_CLIMATE], [TRIP_LENGTH], and [CHILDREN_AGES].
Tell it whether you are heading to the beach, camping, or visiting family. Add your destination climate, trip length, and who is traveling. If you have young kids, it builds a separate section for kid-specific items: diapers, snacks, car seat, comfort objects. The output organizes everything by category (clothing, toiletries, electronics, documents) with quantities where helpful. It separates carry-on essentials from checked luggage items if you are flying.
The pre-departure checklist is what sets this apart from a generic packing list. It reminds you to stop mail, set lights on timers, arrange pet care, and check in for flights. Run it through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or build your list in the Dock Editor where you can check items off as you pack. Planning a birthday trip while you are away? The Birthday Party Planner handles event logistics at any destination. For packing school supplies specifically, the Back-to-School Planner includes a prioritized supply checklist.
Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or the Dock Editor to get started.
Choose [TRIP_TYPE] to match your travel (beach, camping, business, etc.). Describe [DESTINATION_CLIMATE] with specifics like "Hawaii in March, warm and humid" or "Colorado ski resort, below freezing." Climate drives the clothing section.
Pick [TRAVELERS] and add [CHILDREN_AGES] if kids are coming. Select [LUGGAGE] constraints. "Carry-on only" dramatically changes the list. The prompt cuts non-essentials and suggests multi-use items when space is tight.
List planned [ACTIVITIES] like snorkeling, hiking, or a wedding. Add [SPECIAL_NEEDS] for medications, baby gear, or hobby equipment. These details ensure you do not arrive without hiking boots or formal wear.
The output works as a printable checklist. Go category by category. The pre-departure section covers home prep tasks like watering plants and locking up. Check off items as you pack.
Select "family with young kids" or "solo with infant" and the list includes age-specific essentials: diapers, wipes, portable high chair, white noise machine, and comfort items. Quantities are calculated based on trip length.
Set [LUGGAGE] to "carry-on only" and the prompt optimizes for space. It suggests compression bags, multi-purpose clothing, and travel-size alternatives. Checked luggage items get flagged as "skip or ship ahead."
Choose "camping or outdoor adventure" and list your planned [ACTIVITIES]. The list covers tent setup, cooking gear, weather layers, and safety items specific to your destination climate and trip length.
Select "business travel" and note meetings or events in [ACTIVITIES]. The list separates business essentials (laptop, chargers, presentation clicker) from personal items, with carry-on prioritization for anything you cannot afford to lose.
