How does the travel cable pouch checker work?

Upload one photo of your cable pouch and the checker estimates how many cables you are carrying, scores your readiness out of 100, grades how organized the pouch looks, and returns three specific tips. The photo is checked for this one request and never stored.

Do I need a travel adapter from the United States?

It depends on the destination. The United States uses Type A and B plugs at 120 V, 60 Hz, so you need no adapter for trips within the US, Canada, Mexico, or Japan. For the United Kingdom, Europe, or Australia you need a plug adapter that matches the destination socket. Most US phone and laptop USB chargers are rated 100-240 V, so a plug adapter is usually enough.

How do I organize cables for travel?

Group cords by how often you use them, give each bundle one reusable hold, and keep everything in a single pouch. Put the daily phone cable and wall charger on top, and coil the bulky laptop charger on its own so it does not tangle the small cords.

Is the pouch checker free and private?

Yes. There is no email, no account, and no sign up. Your photo is sent for the single check and is not stored, logged, or reused.
