Know what you're carrying before you leave the house.
Setoff builds your packing list from your own trips, tracks what's in which bag, and shows what it'll actually weigh — using weights other travelers have measured, not guesses. Works with no signal at all.
No credit card. No premium tier. No account required to start.
Four things most packing apps don't do
Personalized suggestions and generic checklists are common enough by now. These four aren't.
Start packing before you sign up
Open Setoff and you're straight into a real trip, not a signup form. Add an email only if you want to sync across devices or share a trip — nothing is ever required to start.
No subscription, no premium tier
Every feature — generation, offline sync, weight tracking — is free. Not a trial, not a limited tier.
Actually works with no internet
Not "poor connection tolerant" — genuinely offline. Build your list on the flight, check things off in a village with no signal, edit from a hotel with no wifi. It all syncs the moment you're back online, nothing lost.
Real numbers, not estimates
Weigh an item once and Setoff remembers it. Haven't weighed it yet? See the average from everyone who has.
See your bag before you zip it
Group your list by bag instead of category, and each one totals its own weight as you go — so you find out you're over a budget airline's carry-on limit before you're at the gate, not after.
Never guess a weight again
Once a few other travelers have weighed the same item, Setoff offers their average as a one-tap suggestion — so a first-time item still gets a real number, not a shrug.
The list itself still starts from your own trips
Clone a past trip outright, or blend in whatever you've packed most often for similar ones — then adjust quantities, bags, and weights as the list is actually yours to edit, not a fixed template.
Pack together, not around each other
Send an invite link and whoever you're traveling with sees the same list — same items, same bags, same checkboxes. Either of you can add or check things off from your own phone, and it's synced for both the moment you're both online.
Pack now, add an account whenever you want
Every trip you start as a guest is already yours — nothing sits behind a signup wall. Add an email or Google account later to sync across devices or share a trip, and if you ever sign into an account you already have, whatever you'd started here comes with you automatically.
I've kept a packing list for every trip I've taken over the last ten years — the same document, slowly refined trip after trip, so I'd stop forgetting the one thing I always forget.
Setoff is that list, finally built into something that remembers for me. I built it for myself first — so I made it free, for me and for anyone else who's been keeping their own version of the same list.

Before you ask
Do I need to create an account?
No. Setoff works fully as a guest from your very first visit — create trips and start packing immediately. Add an email or Google account anytime later if you want to sync across devices or share a trip.
What if I already have an account, on a new device?
Tap the guest pill and add your email or Google account as usual — Setoff recognizes it's already yours and signs you in automatically, no separate "sign in" step needed. If you'd already started anything as a guest on that device, you'll be asked whether to bring it into your account before anything is combined.
Is Setoff free?
Yes. Setoff is free, with no subscription, premium tier, or paywalled features.
Does Setoff work without an internet connection?
Yes. Setoff is offline-first: your trips, packing lists, and edits are stored on your device and sync automatically once you're back online.
How does Setoff know how much an item weighs?
You can weigh your own items, or use Setoff's community average — a running average built from weights other Setoff users have entered for the same item, shown once enough people have weighed it.
How does Setoff generate a packing list?
Setoff can build a new trip's list from a past trip of yours, either cloning one directly or blending the items you've packed most often for similar trips.
Can I share a trip with someone else?
Yes. Send an invite link from the trip and whoever opens it sees the same packing list — items, bags, and checked-off state stay in sync for everyone on the trip, offline edits included.
Set off packed right.
Free, offline-capable, and ready for your next trip in under a minute.
