Featherline is a free, mobile-first pack-list builder for ultralight backpackers preparing for thru-hikes such as the PCT, AT, and CDT, weekend trips, and gear shakedowns. Launched in 2026 by a one-person team based in Ontario, Canada, the app imports any LighterPack list in seconds, persists a gear library across packs, works offline at the trailhead via PWA install, and uses Claude AI to suggest lighter cottage-industry alternatives. Core planning features are free forever, including unlimited packs, public share URLs, and offline mode. An optional $4.99 per month Pro tier unlocks unlimited AI gear-swap suggestions.

Founder quote

“LighterPack has been the default for over a decade, and it earned that position. The way backpackers plan trips has changed. People spend more time on phones and less time at desktops, and the planning tool should reflect that. Featherline is what I wanted for my own pack lists when older web tools started feeling tied to old workflows.”

Founder, Featherline
