**Step by step**

# **How Pack Planner works**

From download to your first shared week in a few minutes.

![Pack Planner's Lists tab with the grocery list and chores](https://pack-planner.io/_nuxt/lists.CenpP5OD.webp)

1. **1**### **Create your family**

   Download the app or open it in your browser, sign up and name your pack. Add your kids — they don't need a phone.
2. **2**### **Invite everyone with a link**

   Send the invite link to your partner, grandparents or the babysitter. Inviting is free, however many people join.
3. **3**### **Bring in what's already there**

   Subscribe to the school or daycare calendar via iCal link, connect Google Calendar with Premium, and add your first shopping items and chores.
4. **4**### **Everyone stays in sync**

   Changes show up for the whole family straight away. The grocery list and chores even work without signal and catch up once you're back online.
