A curated everyday-carry reference: 550+ items across 22 categories, each with real specs, honest pros and cons, and an editorial Index Take. Build kits, compare gear side-by-side, track your carry, and find your style with the quiz.
Weights are the brand's published figures — never estimates. When a brand publishes no weight, we show an approximate figure clearly marked "approx". Prices are street prices (what you'd actually pay today), with the original MSRP shown struck through when an item has a standing discount.
Yes — sign in with the same account on iOS and the web and your saved items, kits, streaks, and achievements stay in sync. Sync never downgrades: whichever device has the more complete data wins, so nothing you've earned is ever lost.
Pro unlocks the premium tier — unlimited grails with price-drop alerts and more. On iPhone it's a standard App Store subscription: manage or cancel any time in Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions, and use "Restore Purchases" in the app if Pro doesn't show after reinstalling.
Yes — open your Profile and tap the Units toggle to switch between metric (g/kg) and imperial (oz/lb) for totals and stats. Individual catalog items always show the brand's published weight in grams alongside.
Your streak grows for every day you check in — miss a day and the current run resets, but your longest streak is kept forever. Seasonal achievements are earned from what you actually do during a season (carry days logged, items saved, kit coverage, gear researched), and timed challenge events run alongside them.
Our image system usually heals broken pictures automatically within a day. If one stays broken, send it through Feedback → "Bug or issue" with the product name and we'll fix it.
Absolutely — that's our favorite kind of feedback. Send it through Feedback → "Share an idea". New gear is reviewed and added weekly, with specs verified against the brand's own published data.
Mark an item as a grail and set an alert. We watch the price and email you when it drops — and on iPhone, signed-in users get a push notification too.
Send a request through Feedback → "Have a question" (include the email you signed up with) and we'll remove your account and synced data promptly.
Some links are affiliate links (including Amazon Associates), which may earn us a small commission at no extra cost to you. It never affects which gear we include, the prices shown, or how items are ranked.
The iPhone app is on the App Store, and carryindex.com works everywhere — you can install it to your home screen on Android and desktop for an app-like experience. One account keeps them all in sync.
