journeybot: trip packing list

Keep the screen on while you pack The packing list menu has a new Keep Screen Awake switch that stops the display from locking, so you can set your phone down between items without the screen going dark. It's off by default, and once you turn it on it applies to every journey's packing list.

Siri and Shortcuts Ask when your next trip starts, what's left to pack, or whether you need a plug adapter. You can create a journey, add items to a packing list, and check them off just by asking. Every action is in the Shortcuts app too, ready to drop into your own automations. Journeys in Spotlight Search for a trip by name or destination from the Home Screen and go straight to it. Boarding pass widgets The journey widget is now a boarding pass in your trip's color, with a countdown stub and packing progress. Siri's answer cards match it. The currency converter is now free for everyone. Launch is quicker, and Siri and the widget now pick the trip you're actually on. This update also polishes the Home Screen widgets: the countdown on the small widget fits properly, text on the large widget is no longer tinted orange, and the medium widget has roomier margins.

Item photo stickers: snap a photo of anything you're packing and journeybot turns it into a clean sticker, so your lists look just like your gear. Everyone gets five free. Journey reminders: switch them on and journeybot nudges you as each trip gets close, with weather outlooks and packing prompts at the right moments. Plus a faster Settings screen, a tidier experience on Mac, and the usual round of fixes.
