Taking. Ready. Packed.
Farangur is a packing list for every pack — the work trip, the weekend away, the festival. You tick off what you are taking, what is ready on the pile, and what is already in the car.
When several of you pack for the same thing, everyone sees who brings what. No more four gas stoves and no pan.

How it works
Every item on a pack goes through three phases. One tap on a row moves it one phase further; a tap on a done row moves it back.
- Taking1/3
Yes, this one comes with me. A pack starts from the master list of its event, so you decide — you do not type.
- Ready2/3
Out of the cupboard and on the pile in the room. The counter says how far you are: Getting ready 12/40.
- Packed3/3
In the suitcase. Skipped a phase because you carried it straight to the car? That is not a mistake.
"To buy" is a mark next to the phases, not a fourth phase. Marked items gather in a shopping list you can share as plain text.
Next time you clone last year's pack. Quantities follow the number of nights — six nights, six pairs of socks — with a laundry cap, so you never pack twenty.
Who brings what
Turn on "Packing together" when you create the pack. Your own list stays yours; the group gets a board.
- A need is an item the group needs: gas stove, 1 piece.
- A claim is a promise — I bring it. A claimed item lands on your own list too, so you do not forget it.
- The board is ordered from the problem: MISSING first, then EXTRA, then COVERED. When a claim goes over the need, the app asks whether you really mean it. Four camping tables and not one stove came about exactly this way.
- The invite is a link. Whoever opens it gets into the pack and can claim an item even without an account.

What it is not
- It does not work offline. You pack at home, where there is wifi; the state lives on the server, not in the phone. At a camp without a signal you cannot claim an item.
- It is not a daily checklist. No keys-and-wallet list, no morning routine. You pack when you leave home for a while, not every day.
- It is not a calendar. No recurring events, no reminders, no sync. Next year you clone last year's pack — three taps, always right.
- It does not do photos, barcodes or luggage weight. Nor partial quantities ("3 of 6 socks"). A name, a count and three phases are enough.
- It does not sort out who drives whom. The pack says what comes along, not in whose boot.
From the blog
- Where this is heading
The near plan is to join Farangur with syntrofi.com — the event and its pack — plus what stays exactly as it is, what I refuse to put a date on, and an open invitation to write to me.
- Why it's called Farangur
The app was born as Kufrant, after the Slovak word for suitcase — then I looked at the world map, learned what "kufr" means in Arabic, and went through two thousand domain names before an Icelandic word said yes.
- What Farangur deliberately does not do
No offline, no daily checklist, no calendar, no photos or barcodes, no half-packed socks, no ride sharing — thirty-four things were cut on purpose, and here is the reasoning behind the ones people argue with most.
