Flying abroad to study? Know what’s in every bag.
Four bags, one flight, a whole year packed by three people. Photograph each bag as it is packed — then, in a hostel room thousands of kilometres away, ask where the pressure cooker went.
Saved to “Cabin bag” · Mumbai → Toronto
Leaving home is a lot to keep track of.
Most of it packed by Mummy at midnight. All of it needed in the first week.
“Which bag is the masala box in?”
Two check-in bags packed by different people, and the thing you need on the first evening is at the bottom of the wrong one.
A bag doesn’t arrive
The airline asks what was in it. You are filling in a form at an arrivals counter, jet-lagged, from memory.
What stayed behind
Winter clothes in a trunk at home, books at a cousin’s place, a hostel almirah emptied in a hurry. A year later, nobody remembers where anything went.
Pack once. Know for the whole year.
A few seconds per bag.
Start the trip
In Moves, start “Mumbai → Toronto” and add a box for each bag: cabin bag, check-in 1, check-in 2, backpack.
Photograph as you pack
Open each bag and take a photo, layer by layer. The AI lists what it sees; type names for documents and small things.
Ask after landing
“Which bag has the adapter?” — typed or spoken — and see the photo of that bag.
Store what stays behind
The trunk at home, the box at a relative’s flat: add the location and put things in it, so anyone can find them later.
For the flight, the hostel and home
One place for everything you took and everything you left.
Every bag, its own list
Cabin bag, check-in bags, backpack — each with its photos and what the AI found in it.
Dated photos of what was packed
Photos with the date they were taken — evidence to support a lost or delayed baggage claim.
Parents can see it too
Share one invite link with family. They can look up what you packed, or what’s in the trunk at home.
Many locations
Your room at home, a relative’s flat, the hostel — each with its own rooms, cupboards and drawers.
QR bag and trunk labels
Print a label; scan it to see what’s inside without opening it.

No data on landing? Photos upload by themselves once you are on Wi-Fi.
Picture a student leaving Pune for a January intake
The family packs four bags over a week. Each one is photographed open as it is closed, and the AI lists what is inside — the winter jacket, the pressure cooker, the folder of certificates.
In the first week abroad: “which bag has the travel adapter?” — check-in 2, side pocket, with the photo. Back home, the trunk of school things is recorded too, so when a younger cousin needs the old calculator, someone simply asks.
Your photos live in your own Google Drive.
Not on a server you can’t see into.
Full photos in your Drive
Every photo and the master copy of your records are written to a folder in your own Google Drive. You can see them, download them, or delete them.
Only what it made
The app can open only the files it creates — never the rest of your Drive.
Plain about the rest
To stay fast, our server keeps a working copy of your records, small thumbnails and a search index. To read a photo, it is sent to Google’s Gemini AI. Privacy details
Questions people ask
How do I keep track of what is in each of my bags when going abroad?
Use WhatsWhere. Photograph each bag as you pack it and the AI lists what is inside. After you land, ask “which bag has the adapter?” by voice or typing and see the photo of that bag.
What should Indian students pack when going abroad?
Documents and copies in the cabin bag, medicines with prescriptions, a few days’ clothes in case a bag is delayed, adapters and chargers, and a small kitchen kit. Our packing list for students going abroad goes through it bag by bag.
What if the airline loses my bag on the way?
Report it at the airport before you leave. WhatsWhere keeps dated photos of what was packed in each bag, which you can use as evidence to support your claim. It does not guarantee compensation.
Can my parents see what I packed?
Yes. Invite them with one link. You can give them look-only access, so they can see what is in each bag but not change anything.
Can I use it to store things at home while I am away?
Yes. Add your home or a relative’s flat as a location, photograph the cupboard or trunk, and put things in it. Anyone you invite can find them later.
Does it work on any phone?
Yes. It runs in any modern phone browser and can be added to your home screen. You sign in with your Google account.
Can I use it for a hostel move?
Yes. Treat each carton, trunk or bag as a box: photograph it as you pack, print a QR label, and know what is in each one when you move in or put it in storage over the holidays.
