Getting started Pack your first trip in Alba To pack a trip in Alba, create the trip, let Alba build a starter checklist from your destination and dates, then tap items off until the readiness ring reaches 100%. Alba always shows what's still missing, so nothing slips past you. Read the guide → Photo packing Scan your items into your bag Alba can pack your bag from a single photo. Lay everything out, take one shot, and Alba lifts out each object, matches it to your checklist, and ticks each one off — each with its own cutout as proof. There's no tapping through a list. Read the guide → Collaboration Pack a trip together Alba lets several people pack one trip at the same time. Share the trip with an invite link; everyone packs the same checklist live and sees who packed what, so two people never pack the same thing twice. Read the guide → Templates Reuse your packing list with templates Templates are saved packing lists you reuse. Build your “beach weekend” or “ski trip” list once, then start any similar trip from it — or load it into a trip you've already begun — instead of starting from scratch. Read the guide → How it works Understand your readiness score Your “% ready” is the share of your trip's items you've packed — checked ÷ total across every section. The green ring fills and the number counts up live as you pack, and the home screen surfaces what's still missing so the score is actionable, not just a number. Read the guide → Weight & bags Know your bag's weight before the airport You don't need a luggage scale to know if your bag will pass the airline check. Alba estimates your packed weight from the list itself — every item carries a typical weight for its kind, multiplied by how many you're bringing, plus the empty weight of your actual suitcase. The result is an honest "~7.2 / 23 kg" figure per bag that turns red only when you cross the limit, with suggestions for the way out. Read the guide →
