Point the camera at the pile.
Photograph what you're taking and Trunk lists it back: each thing named, described and given a weight. Nothing lands in a bag until you've seen the list and unticked whatever you didn't mean.

Trunk
Packing, weighed
Photographwhatyou'retaking.Knowwhatitweighs.
Trunk is a packing app with a camera. Photograph what you're taking and it names each thing, estimates what it weighs and drops it into the right bag. You watch the bag fill against the limit you've set, long before you're standing at the desk.
No account, and nothing you photograph is kept. Weights are estimates to plan with, so the airline's scale still has the last word.
Closed alpha on Android. Free while it's in closed alpha, and there's nothing to buy inside it.

What it is
A packing app with a camera.
Packing goes wrong in the same two places every time. Typing out a list of everything you own is a chore nobody finishes, so the list is never real. And nobody knows what a bag weighs until it's on the belt at the desk, which is the worst possible moment to find out.
Trunk closes both. Photograph a pile of things and it lists them back to you, each one named, described and given a weight, and you tick off what's actually going. Every bag then carries a running total against the limit you set for it, so you see the problem while you can still do something about it.
Who it's for
Who Trunk is for.
- 01

- 02
Travellers juggling a carry-on and a hold bag on the same trip
- 03
People who buy things abroad and want the room to bring them home
- 04
Anyone who'd rather photograph a pile than type out a list
- 05
Frequent flyers repacking the same wardrobe a dozen times a year
How it works
Four steps from a pile to a packed bag.
01 / 04Scan 02 / 04Describe Or just say it out loud.
Talk to it in any of eight languages, or type the sentence instead. Trunk understands what you said, translates it and adds what you mentioned, keeping the details that matter, like which gift is for whom.
Voice
03 / 04Weigh Watch the bag fill against the limit.
Every bag carries a running total against the limit you set for it. Presets cover the usual carry-on, checked and backpack sizes, and you edit them to match whoever you're flying with. The bar turns amber before you're close and red before the desk tells you.
Limits
04 / 04Remember Weigh a jumper once.
Everything you pack goes into your wardrobe with the weight you settled on. Correct a figure and it's corrected for every trip after, so the second trip is quicker than the first and the tenth barely takes a minute.
Wardrobe
What's inside
Everything it does.
Filling the list
Two ways in, and neither one is typing.
The reason packing lists don't get made is the typing. Trunk takes a photograph or a sentence instead, and does the naming, the describing and the weight for you.
- •Photograph a pile and get every thing in it listed separately
- •Say what you're taking out loud, in any of eight languages, or type the sentence
- •A review sheet before anything is added, so you untick what you didn't mean
- •A weight and a short description written for each thing found
- •Add or correct anything by hand whenever you'd rather
Weight
The number you want, before the desk asks for it.
Every weight in Trunk is an estimate, and an estimate is enough to plan around. What you get is a running total per bag and enough warning to move something.
- •A live total per bag against the limit you set for it
- •Presets for the usual carry-on, checked and backpack sizes, all editable
- •Amber and red warnings before you're over, not after
- •A weight map showing which few things are making the bag heavy
- •Souvenir headroom reserved up front, so the trip home isn't a surprise
Clothes
Your own wardrobe, remembered and worn.
The things you take travel with you from trip to trip. Trunk keeps them, keeps their weights, and puts outfits together out of what you've actually packed.
- •A wardrobe that carries every weight you've settled on
- •Outfit suggestions built only from what's in the bag
- •Built from your own things rather than catalogue pictures
- •Correct a weight once and every future trip has it right
- •Categories, tags and quantities, so four T-shirts are one row
On your phone
No account, and the photos don't stick around.
There's no sign-up, because there's nothing to sign up to. Your trips, your things and your wardrobe live on the phone.
- •No account, no email, no password
- •A photograph is read and then thrown away. It's never written to a server's disk
- •The small crop of a thing you keep stays in the app's own storage, and leaves the phone only for the moment an outfit is being put together
- •Delete a thing and its picture goes with it
- •No advertising, no ad identifiers and no cross-app tracking
- •Works in English, Greek, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Dutch
What you get
What you get out of it.
- A real packing list without typing one
- A weight for every bag before you leave the house
- Warning while you can still move something
- Room set aside for what you're bringing home
- A wardrobe that makes the next trip quicker
- Everything on your phone, with no account behind it
Compared with
Against a packing checklist.
| Dimension | Trunk | A packing checklist |
|---|---|---|
| Getting the list in | Photograph a pile, or say it out loud | You type every line yourself |
| Weight | An estimate for every thing, totalled per bag | Nothing. A list doesn't weigh anything |
| Limits | A running total against your limit, with warnings | You find out at the desk |
| The trip home | Souvenir headroom reserved before you fly | Not a concept |
| Next trip | Your wardrobe and its weights carry over | A fresh blank list |
| Language | Speak to it in any of eight | Type in whichever one it ships in |

Privacy & data
What happens to the photos.
This page doubles as Trunk's support page, so the camera and microphone questions are answered here rather than buried in a policy.
- No account
- There's no sign-up, no email and no password. Your trips, your things and your wardrobe live on the phone.
- The photograph
- When you photograph your things, the picture goes to our server and straight on to the third-party AI provider that recognises what's in it, and it's thrown away in the same breath. We never save it, never log it and never attach it to a bug report.
- The crops that stay
- If you keep something Trunk found, the small crop of that thing stays on your phone, so your list has pictures and outfit suggestions look like your actual clothes. Those crops never leave the device, except for the moment an outfit is being put together, and they're deleted when you delete the thing.
- Voice
- Voice recordings work the same way. We transcribe what you said, add the things, and the recording is gone.
- Tracking and analytics
- No advertising, no ad identifiers and no cross-app tracking, and we don't record your screen. We do count which screens get opened and keep anonymous crash reports, so we can tell what's broken. Neither one carries your photographs, your item names or anything you typed.
Frequently asked
The questions we get asked first.
How do I know what my luggage weighs before I get to the airport?
Trunk gives every thing you pack a weight and keeps a running total per bag against the limit you've set for it. Photograph a pile or describe what you're taking, and the total builds as you go. It's an estimate rather than a measurement, so treat it as a plan rather than a promise, but it's enough to tell you a fortnight ahead that the hold bag is heading over.
Does Trunk actually weigh my bag?
No. Trunk estimates. It recognises what a thing is and gives it a weight based on what things like that usually weigh, and once you've corrected a figure it uses yours from then on. That's accurate enough to plan a bag around and to warn you when you're heading for trouble. If the number really matters, put the bag on a scale. Airline scales and airline rules are what decide what you can carry.
How does the camera scan work, and what happens to my photos?
The photograph goes to our server and straight on to the third-party AI provider that works out what's in it, and it's thrown away in the same breath. It's never written to disk, never logged and never attached to a bug report. If you keep something Trunk found, the small crop of that thing stays in the app's own storage on your phone so your list has pictures, and it leaves the device only for the moment an outfit is being put together. Delete the thing and the crop goes with it.
Can I add things without using the camera?
Yes, two other ways. Say what you're taking out loud in any of eight languages and Trunk will understand it, translate it and add what you mentioned, keeping details like which gift is for whom. Or type the same sentence, or add a single thing by hand and set its weight yourself.
Does Trunk know my airline's baggage allowance?
Not by name. You set the limit for each bag yourself and Trunk keeps a running total against it. There are presets for the usual carry-on, checked and backpack sizes to start from, and you edit them to match whoever you're flying with, because allowances differ by airline, by fare and sometimes by aircraft.
What's the weight map for?
It draws each bag's contents as blocks sized by weight, so the two or three things making the bag heavy are obvious at a glance rather than buried in a list. Tap a block to change it, move it to the other bag or take it out.
Can it leave room for the things I buy while I'm away?
Yes. Reserve an amount before you fly and Trunk holds it back from the bag's limit, so the total you're looking at already has room in it for what's coming home with you.
Do I need an account?
No. There's no sign-up, no email and no password. Your trips, your things and your wardrobe are on the phone, which is unusual for an app like this and is genuinely how it works.
Is Trunk on iPhone?
Not yet. Trunk is in closed alpha on Android, and if you're testing it you'll have a link and a code from us. An iOS release follows. There's nothing to point you at on the App Store today.
What does Trunk cost?
It's free while it's in closed alpha, and there's nothing to buy inside it. We'll say what the plans are before anything is ever charged for.
Does it work in my language?
Trunk works in English, Greek, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Dutch, and you can speak to it in any of them.
How do I get support?
Email [email protected] and a person will answer.
