PackQR is a private, offline-first moving inventory for organising rooms, boxes, items, photos, QR labels and contents records. Keep track of what you packed, where it is and which boxes matter most — without putting your household inventory into a PackQR cloud account. **Pack together on two devices** Use two nearby iPhones or iPads to work on the same move. One device keeps the Master project while a second PackQR device joins by scanning a collaboration QR code. Choose to share the entire project, selected rooms or selected boxes. The Contributor can then work independently and offline, creating boxes, adding items, using AI Pack Scan, voice or keyboard entry, and adding photos. When you’re together again, the Contributor returns their additions directly to the Master. The Master reviews the changes before importing them and can then start another collaboration round. Collaboration is private and direct: one Master, one Contributor, no PackQR account, no cloud backend, no live sync and no third-party server. Sensitive Boxes are excluded. **Optional replacement values** Add estimated replacement values only where useful. Values stay out of quick entry and can be added later from Item Detail, Add values quickly or Review estimated values. PackQR calculates quantity-based line totals and box/project rollups. When only some items have values, valuation coverage makes it clear that totals are partial. PDF and CSV contents reports can optionally include values and totals. PackQR never guesses prices, performs external price lookups or claims to provide a professional appraisal. **Protect Sensitive Boxes** Mark any box as Sensitive to protect item names, notes, photos and estimated values with Face ID, Touch ID or device passcode. Sensitive contents are hidden while locked, excluded from collaboration, and omitted from standard reports by default. Including them in a report requires fresh device authentication. **Plan your move** • Create rooms and numbered boxes • Add contents, quantities, notes and photos • Mark priority, fragile and needs-check boxes • Search items, box labels, rooms and notes • Use Move Day tools to find important boxes quickly • Generate printable QR labels **Faster item entry with AI and voice** Photograph a household item and AI Pack Scan can suggest a name and quantity to reduce typing. You can also add several items naturally by voice, for example: “Candles, tea towels, three mugs and a spice rack.” AI and voice additions can be collected into a temporary Pack Batch so you can review and correct them before confirming. Nothing changes your saved inventory until you confirm it. Voice input is currently available in English (UK and US) on supported devices. AI Pack Scan uses Apple Vision on device; every suggestion can be reviewed or edited before saving. **Private by design** • Core image recognition runs on your device using Apple Vision • Voice input uses Apple on-device speech recognition when supported • PackQR does not store voice recordings or fall back to online speech recognition • Item photos are not sent to an external AI-recognition service • Nearby collaboration transfers directly between devices • No PackQR account or cloud backend • Your move data stays locally on your device • Backups are manual files you export when you choose • QR labels do not contain private box contents • Estimated values stay local unless you deliberately export or transfer them PackQR also includes safeguards designed to stop an unexpectedly missing previous inventory from being silently replaced with a new empty one. **Built for real packing** Pack alone or pack together. Scan what PackQR can see. Say what it can’t. Add values only where useful. Protect what’s private. Review what gets added. Keep your move organised without putting your household inventory in the cloud. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.8 — 2026-08-22 PackQR 1.8 makes it easier to pack together, protect private contents and keep a clearer record of your move.
