👋 Hey Product Hunt community! I’m Patrick, a Software Architect and—more importantly—a proud dad. Like many parents, my partner and I quickly found ourselves drowning in the daily "mental load" of family life. Between school letters, changing schedules, doctors' appointments, and vital family documents scattered everywhere, the chaos was real. I tried existing family organizers, but two things deeply bothered me: They required internet access for everything (no fun in cellular dead zones). They lacked data privacy, forcing me to upload sensitive family schedules and documents to unencrypted cloud servers. So, I put my software architecture background to work and built Pack Planner—a privacy-first, offline-first family ecosystem designed to cut the mental load down to zero. Here is what makes Pack Planner different: 🔒 End-to-End Encrypted (E2EE) Document Safe: Store your family's sensitive papers (vaccination records, IDs, insurance) with zero-knowledge local encryption. 🤖 On-Device Local AI: Powered by an offline-capable Gemma 4 model right on your phone. Snap a photo of a school letter, and it automatically extracts events and tasks—100% privately. 📶 True Offline-First: Your shared calendars, grocery lists, and to-dos are fully functional and accessible even when you are completely offline. 📅 No More Silos: Full 2-way Google Calendar synchronization seamlessly links your family life with your personal schedule. I built this tool to help my own "pack," and now I want to share it with yours. Pack Planner is a family-licensed app—one subscription protects and organizes your entire family household. I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and feature requests. How does your family handle the mental load? Let me know in the comments below! 👇 🐺 Happy planning, Patrick Founder of Pack Planner
