BoxBuddy: Moving Box Organizer

Photo inventory & QR labels

Free · In‑App Purchases

Photograph every layer, up to 10 photos per box on paid plans. Say what's inside, and BoxBuddy makes it searchable and prints it on the label. Moving doesn't have to mean losing track of your stuff. BoxBuddy turns chaotic moving boxes into a searchable, shareable inventory — so you always know what's where, even before you've unpacked. SNAP A PHOTO OF WHAT'S INSIDE Photograph the contents of each box as you pack — 2 photos per box free, up to 10 on paid plans. The photos stay with the box, so when you find it in a search or scan its label, you see what went in. No guessing what's inside box #14. TALK WHILE YOU PACK — BOXBUDDY DOES THE FILING This is the part people don't expect. Say what's going into the box while your hands are busy with tape and bubble wrap, and BoxBuddy doesn't just transcribe you — it reads what you said against a dictionary of hundreds of household items and pulls out the things that matter. The cast iron pan. The winter coats. The good glasses. Those become searchable keywords attached to that box, and they print right on its label. So the box that took you eight seconds to describe out loud is findable months later by typing "cast iron" — and readable from the outside without opening it. No typing, no stopping, no checklist. You talk, the inventory builds itself. PRINT QR LABELS, SEE INSIDE WITHOUT OPENING Every box gets a unique QR code label. Scan it with your phone to see exactly what's inside — without opening a single flap. Print labels right from the app, or from your computer at boxbuddy.tech. No special printer or extra hardware required — and printing is included on every plan, free ones too. SEARCH YOUR ENTIRE MOVE BY KEYWORD Looking for the coffee maker? Type it in and BoxBuddy tells you exactly which box — and which room — it's in. No more opening ten boxes to find one item. SHARE YOUR MOVE WITH FAMILY Moving is a team sport. With the Family plan, invite your partner, roommates, or family to your BoxBuddy inventory — up to five people on one move, all working from the same boxes, labels, and rooms. One person packs the kitchen, another handles the garage, and nobody loses track of anything. NOT JUST FOR MOVING DAY Keep using BoxBuddy long after you unpack — basements, garages, storage units, seasonal bins, closets. Downsizing, renovating, or just tired of not knowing what's in the bins? It keeps your household organized all year round. Keep the storage unit as its own list, separate from the house, and switch between them any time.

Search now shows only the boxes that match, big box lists load faster, and your boxes are harder to lose. Paid plans also get up to 10 photos per box. SEARCH SHOWS WHAT YOU ASKED FOR A search could bring back boxes that had nothing to do with what you typed. A stray space at the start or end of a description made that box match every search, and short words like "a" or "of" made others match far too many, so on a big move the right box was buried among the wrong ones. One customer unpacking more than 150 boxes found more than a dozen of them turning up in every search. Results now come only from words in a box's name, contents or room. Plurals and common alternatives still count, so "screwdrivers" still finds "screwdriver". BIG MOVES LOAD FASTER Opening the box list used to download the full-size photo of every box at once. On a big move that took a long time, and some photos never appeared. Photos now load as you scroll to them, as smaller previews made for the list, and a box you open no longer waits behind the rest. Your photos are unchanged: open a box to see them full size. YOUR BOXES ARE HARDER TO LOSE If a save failed on a weak signal, it used to wait until you happened to type something else, and if you left the screen first, that change could be lost. Now a failed save keeps retrying on its own while the box is open. And whatever you entered in the moment before closing a box or switching apps is now saved straight away instead of being dropped. In the box list, the delete button sat right beside Print, and it was too easy to hit the wrong one. It's gone from the list. You can still delete a box from its own page, where you're asked to confirm, or select several at once. FAMILY INVITES SHOW UP On some Family accounts the option to invite people never appeared, even though the plan included it. The app was asking only the App Store about your plan; it now also asks your BoxBuddy account, which is what invites depend on. UP TO 10 PHOTOS PER BOX Paid plans now hold up to 10 photos per box, up from 5, so a box packed in layers can show each one. Free accounts keep 2 per box. Printed labels still show up to five. ADD A BOX, IN THE ORDER YOU PACK Adding a box now goes Photo, Describe, Room, Organize: what's in it first, where it goes after. The room still carries over from your last box, and is now named at the top of the screen with a tap to change it. PACKING REMINDERS, IF YOU WANT THEM Until you've added 10 boxes, BoxBuddy can remind you to add the next one: a day after you were last in the app, and again after three. It asks once, after you add a box, and sends nothing unless you allow it. SHARED MOVES If you've joined someone else's move and it reaches the free limit, you now see that the move's owner needs to upgrade, instead of a purchase screen that couldn't have raised the limit for you. ALSO • On iPhone, BoxBuddy now stays upright when you turn the phone. iPad still rotates. • Page numbers on the printed inventory report are bigger, bolder and clear of the bottom edge, where many printers cut them off. Most of this release came from two customers who wrote in with real detail. Thank you both. Please keep them coming, through the app or boxbuddy.tech.
