About Schlept

Schlept is the past tense of schlep — to haul, to carry, to drag your stuff from here to there. The name is the promise: by the time you open the app, the schlepping is already done.

It started the way these things usually do. A family that travels a lot — Shabbos away, Pesach with the grandparents, the odd business trip — and a packing “system” made of copied notes: find the most similar past trip, duplicate the list, tweak it, forget half the tweaks, repeat. Every copy a little staler than the last. The baby’s diaper count from a weekend trip, pasted into a ten-day one. The kosher hotplate, remembered at midnight. Again.

The realization behind Schlept is that the trip was never the thing worth saving — the people are. Each person in a family packs in patterns: one pair of socks per day, a Shabbos outfit per Shabbos, two coffee capsules per morning, the kitchen kit whenever there’s a kitchen to kosher. Write those patterns down once, and every trip’s list can simply be computed — the right items, in the right amounts, for exactly who’s coming.

So that’s what Schlept does. Profiles are the source of truth; every trip is a fresh, disposable calculation. And when reality disagrees with the plan — you added a travel adapter on the road, you never once packed that iron — the list doesn’t just shrug. It asks, learns, and packs better next time.

We built it family-first: everyone packs the same list together, live; kids and infants get their own sections; and observant-Jewish travel — Shabbos, Yom Tov, kosher kitchens — is native vocabulary, not a workaround. Your data stays yours: export it whole, delete it whole, whenever you choose.

Nothing forgotten. Consider it schlept.
