EDC Buddy: Everyday Carry

SpeakTwice

In-app purchases

About this app

Everything you carry, photographed, organised and packed.

Add all your gear to an inventory. Then build your bags from it:
• Daily carry: wallet, keys, flashlight, ...
• Suitcase: passport, chargers, toiletries, ...
• Gym bag: earbuds, towel, drink bottle, ...
• Tool bag: tape measure, hammer, level, ...

Every bag gets a packing checklist, and a flat-lay canvas to arrange your gear and export a pocket dump photo.

INVENTORY

• Every piece of gear in one place, with a name, category, photo and notes
• Mark gear as "not owned yet" for items on your wishlist
• Fifteen gear categories to start with (Blade, Light, Tools, Keys and more), all renamable and reorderable
• Search across names, notes and categories
• Filters for gear that has no photo yet, gear that isn't in any bag, or gear you don't own yet
• A grid of cut-outs, or a compact list
• 1,700+ line icons and monochrome emoji for gear you haven't photographed

BAGS

• Bags are assembled from your inventory (an item can live in many bags at once)
• Quantities per bag, like two batteries in the travel bag and one in the day bag
• Duplicate a bag when the new one is "the day bag, plus a few things"
• Group bags under Daily, Work, Travel, Outdoors and Sport, or your own headings
• A photo of the bag itself

PACKING

• A checklist for each bag, with big rows for one-handed use
• Ticked items sink to the bottom, so the next thing to grab is always on top
• Ticks stay until you unpack, so you can put the phone down halfway through
• Skip an item for today without needing to delete it from the bag
• An optional daily reset at a time you pick, so your everyday bag starts fresh each morning
• Print a packing list for any bag on A4, US Letter or A5, or save it as a PDF

FLAT-LAYS

• Drag, pinch and twist your cut-outs into a knolling layout, or let the app arrange them
• Lay it all on white, black, charcoal, leather, walnut, luggage, workbench, concrete, diamond plate, sand or marble, or your own background
• Soft shadows under each piece, and name labels if you want them
• Export as a portrait photo with your bag's name stamped in the corner

PHOTOS

• Background removal that runs on your phone, so nothing is ever uploaded to a server
• Take a photo, pick one from your gallery, or paste one you copied
• Paste a link to a product page and the app takes its picture and fills in the name
• Share a picture or a web page into the app from Chrome or any other app

There are no accounts and no servers; your gear lives on your phone, and you can make backups to zip files. This app has no ads and no analytics, and only goes online when you give it a link to take a picture from.

EDC Buddy is free for 2 bags and 20 items, and exported layouts carry a small EDC Buddy stamp. EDC Buddy Pro is a one-time purchase that removes both limits and makes the stamp optional, for good. No subscription.

Background removal needs Google Play services.
