Backpacks: packing lists

Inspiration

I often forget just one specific things when I go to the gym or the office. I could use a simple notes app, but I do not like opening separate apps for that, I thought it'd be really nice to use a Home Screen interactive widget for packing.

What it does

Users can create a few packing lists in a form of backpacks which can be used for packing for specific outings, like going to a gym or a coworking space.

How we built it

SwiftUI app targeting iOS 17+, so that we can use the latest APIs like SwiftData or interactive widgets.

Challenges we ran into

Interactive widgets on iOS come with a few challenges, like limited controls support or general slowness.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a laser focused app solving a specific pain point.

What we learned

How to create interactive Home Screen widgets.
