What's New in Boxes

8.3

September 23, 2026

- New: Add measurements (size and weight) to your boxes and standalone items. Three built-in sizes (S/M/L) can be customized, or you can enter your own values. Volume is automatically calculated for you. - New: Measurements can be included on labels and manifests. - New: There are two new reports to calculate and visualize size and weight across all or part of your inventory. - New: Measurements are also available via Bulk Edit, so you can add many sizes and weights at once. - New: Introducing Smart Search (pro only). Point the camera at labels to peek inside (contents stream on screen as codes are recognized), or enter a search term to locate boxes and items using just the QR code or barcode (matching codes get a green checkmark overlay). - New: You can now restrict which spaces your team members have access to (pro only). - Bug fixes and performance improvements.

Absolutely Perfect!

I tried InvenTree and a few others to manage hundreds of items across multiple storage lockers and the house โ€“ the others were just way too complicated - this is everything I need, it supports the roles of pre-printed barcodes that I bought, I can get my data out in the form of a spreadsheet, and it was cheap compared to all the others. I'm very happy and very appreciative of the developer!

Life Saved

I never leave reviews but this is one of the best apps Iโ€™ve ever used. I downsized from a huge house to a smaller one and moved hundreds of miles and I never lost a single item. You think itโ€™s a little fussy to take the extra time to list the items and take pics but it SAVES HOURS.

Perfect for storage and moving

I needed some long term storage while moving and temporarily downsizing, and quickly realized I was going to need a better system than just handwritten labels. There were several related apps, and I already had a couple inventory apps as well, but this one looked the best for both moving and general storage and also supports NFC tags. So I got myself a shipping container, plastic totes, a roll of NFC tags (these are only pennies now), and a roll of consecutively numbered inventory labels that I include in the tote name. All I need to do to quickly find an item is search for it in the app and then look for that numbered tote. Or, if I want to see everything in a tote without opening or digging through it, I can just scan the NFC tag and the app will open the tote for me with photos and descriptions of every item in it. You can have as much or as little detail on items as you want, make it as simple or advanced as you want (the numbered labels and NFC tags are entirely optional) and itโ€™s extremely flexible for customization. I added some custom attributes (perishable, expiration date, color, liquid, etc.) and hid the ones I didnโ€™t need (cost, warranty, etc.). What was originally an overwhelming task is now a very simple system that makes it very easy to find and organize an entire houseful of packed items. I also ended up buying the lifetime license because I knew Iโ€™d be using it well beyond 3 months for permanent garage and basement storage if nothing else. If you need the additional capacity beyond the free tier, itโ€™s well worth the cost because it pays for itself in the time it saves you looking for items, and in not having to buy new items to replace the ones you know you have somewhere but canโ€™t actually find when you need them right away! The developer was also very responsive to feature requests.

Great app! Works as expected

This is a great app that works as expect Iโ€™m able to organize all of my items into storage bins storage bins into storage locations, and storage locations into building buildings.

Only issue I found is Iโ€™m unable to paste URLโ€™s into the appropriate field

A Must-Have for Moving and Staying Organized

Moving is stressful, but Boxes made staying organized incredibly easy. Documenting everything is quick, and adding photos makes it simple to identify whatโ€™s inside each box. Searching for packed items later has been fast and reliable, saving us countless hours of digging through boxes.

We printed labels with detailed contents, used the QR codes and NFC tags for instant access, and the whole system just worked. The best part is that we didnโ€™t stop using it after the move. More than a year later, weโ€™re still unpacking and continue to use Boxes to stay organized. Iโ€™d highly recommend itโ€”not just for moving, but for anyone who wants an easy way to organize and keep track of their belongings
