Built packing app for personal use; you need it too?

Built packing app for personal use; you need it too?

I built an iPhone app for myself because on trips I often miss-Match which item I put into which bag, as I am packing differently for various conditions (mostly weather, method of sleeping). So I took a few weeks to build something to fix that for me and used it for my latest trips. No AI fluff inside, just a basic digital twin, that is more visual than a list.
It works really fine for me. I am thinking of putting it publicly. Would you use something like this, or would you go with your existing packing-method?

Is anyone actually using an EA tool that doesn't cost a fortune and isn't garbage?

Here's my situation. I need a central app inventory, capability mapping, something to draw solution architectures that doesn't look like it's from 2005, and basic threat/control tracking so security stops asking me for spreadsheets every quarter.

We don't have the budget for a leanix or similar, and honestly we don't have the appetite for a 6 month procurement process that ends up creating more tool admin work than it solves.

But everything else I find online is either abandoned open source or some web app that looks nice in the demo and falls apart the moment you need to produce a real artifact for a SteerCo meeting.

Is anyone actually using something smaller that holds up in practice? I am genuinely curious what's out there that my team is not finding. Saw some pitches in this sub from a while ago but most of them seem quite abandoned. Also happy about any open source suggestions
