Never pack from memory again

Kit & Roll

I love going on adventures. Packing for them? Not so much. I was tired of trying to remember what to bring, where I put everything, and whether I’d forgotten something.

So I built Kit & Roll. It keeps track of your gear and where it lives, then lets you turn that gear into reusable loadouts for different kinds of trips. When it’s time to go, you know what to pack, where to find it, and what needs charging or restocking.

The app in four screens

The gear screen listed by place: twenty-four things in the Garage, beginning with two closed containers — a camp kitchen kit holding six and a spares box holding four — and then the gear that lives loose there, each row carrying its make under its name: a Nemo Hornet OSMO 2P tent, a Helinox Chair Zero, two Sea to Summit dry bags, an Adventure Medical first-aid kit and a Bahco folding saw.

Where your gear lives

Everything you own, grouped by where it actually is — the garage, the closet, the bike — so nothing is hunted for an hour before you leave.

A loadout named Moto camping, described as two panniers and a tail bag, grouped by where its gear comes from: the camp kitchen kit taken whole, then eleven things out of the Garage — a tent, a camp chair marked optional, two dry bags, a first-aid kit, four freeze-dried meals, and a ground tarp that only comes along on a trip marked Rain.

A loadout you build once

The gear for one kind of trip, grouped once and reused. Every moto-camping weekend after this one starts from the same list.

The Cascade Lakes loop trip, three of nineteen things loaded, with tabs for packing, charging and replenishing, and rows showing the carrier each item travels in — the camp kitchen kit already loaded in the left pannier, the tent packed into the tail bag, the first-aid kit bound for the right pannier.

The checklist for the trip

A trip turns the loadout into a checklist you tick off as you pack, and it knows which pannier or bag each thing goes in.

The home screen three days before the trip: a notice to check what needs charging and topping up, the Cascade Lakes loop with three things to charge and four to replenish, a warning that one item isn’t in its spot, and a reminder that two items have no category yet.

What’s out of place or needs charging

Home shows you what needs attention before your next trip. See what needs charging or refilling, and what still needs to be put away.
