Stowwell

Stowwell turns trip preparation into a simple, beautiful routine that feels like hanging paper luggage tags on a suitcase handle. The app is built around TripTags, small cards that represent every item you need to pack, every document to gather, and every task to finish before you leave. Each TripTag belongs to one of three categories, Packing, Documents, or Tasks, so your preparation naturally separates into clear focus areas. You create a TripTag by giving it a short label, choosing its category, setting the date it must be ready by, and optionally adding a quick note for extra detail. Editing or deleting any tag is just as straightforward, and you can search by label to instantly find a specific item across your entire collection. The main screen presents your TripTags hanging from a stainless steel ring around a textured leather suitcase handle, with the bottom tabs stitched like leather pull tabs for All Tags, Packing, Documents, and Tasks. Switching tabs filters your view so you only see what matters at that moment, while all lists stay sorted by the ready-by date to keep urgency in sight. A small dashboard at the top left shows two embossed counters on a leather tag shape, one for items due today and one for items past due, so nothing slips your mind. The three most urgent upcoming TripTags appear right beneath the dashboard, giving you an at-a-glance priority list without any clutter. Overdue tags shift visually to a crumpled paper look with a frayed string, while upcoming tags remain crisp and flat, so you instantly recognize what needs attention without tick marks or checkboxes. Every TripTag is styled with a brass eyelet and a colored string loop, navy for Packing, olive for Documents, and rust for Tasks, making categories immediately recognizable. Adding a new item uses a metal split-ring icon, and saving uses a simple luggage tag icon, reinforcing the tactile luggage theme throughout. Your data stays securely on your device in a local database, so the app works completely offline and your trip details remain private. Stowwell is made for frequent travelers, first-time trip planners, and busy professionals who want a lightweight, focused way to stay prepared without bulky planners or complex features.
