With ToteScan you can easily itemize your storage totes and containers to help you quickly find the things you need. ToteScan works by scanning official ToteScan labels. The ToteScan labels are individually connected with your account, and by affixing them to your totes and containers, you can easily scan and add items that you place into the containers. Once entered, you can use the built-in text search capability to find totes by name, individual item name, description, or keyword. ToteScan supports family sharing with the ability to add profiles to the account for individuals to keep separate collections, but still be within the same account. Additional ToteScan labels can be purchased in-app and digitally delivered to you by email link. You can then print them on basic paper, cut them out, and tape to your totes and containers. Or you can choose to buy pre-printed ready to peel and stick ToteScan labels and have them shipped to you. Movers/Real Estate Agents/Organizers can now scan and fill ToteScan labels (totes) for their customer on-site, and once complete, can transfer the totes to their customer's own ToteScan account. Let ToteScan help you organize your storage totes and containers, and take organizing to the next level! Features: - Itemize the contents of your totes and containers with title, description, quantity and location. - Attach multiple pictures to each item for quick identification and review within the app. - Optionally scan an item's barcode, pre-populate title and image, when adding items to totes. - Search by any number of methods, such as tote name, item title, description, or keyword. - Clone item(s) within a Tote label to make copies without re-entering data. - Parent/Child tote option to enable boxes/containers within other boxes/containers. - Share a common account with family members or business associates. - Supports multiple profiles to categorize collections and share with family members. - Supports multiple container types for identification as well - Email support offered 7 days a week.

Mass Intentions

Read full description

Mass Intentions helps priests, parish secretaries keep track of requested Mass intentions — who asked, for whom, when it's scheduled, and whether the stipend has been received. Track every intention at a glance Log each Mass intention with the requester's name, the date, an optional label for parishes with more than one Mass a day, and any notes. Mark intentions fulfilled as they're said, and see at a glance which ones are overdue. Stay on top of stipends A running summary shows stipends received versus outstanding, so nothing falls through the cracks — especially useful heading into a busy season like Christmas or Lent. Bulk-add without double-booking Adding a batch of intentions for a novena, anniversary Masses, or a full month at once? Batch scheduling automatically flags date conflicts before they happen. Share a clean schedule Generate a plain-text Mass schedule for any date range — ready to paste straight into a parish bulletin, email, or bulletin board announcement. See the liturgical calendar alongside your schedule Subscribe to any standard iCalendar (.ics) feed — including public liturgical calendars — to see feast days and liturgical seasons right next to your intentions. Sync and back up Your data syncs automatically across your devices with iCloud, and a Home Screen widget keeps upcoming intentions visible without opening the app. Export a full backup or a spreadsheet-ready CSV any time. Bilingual Available in English and Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt), with more languages planned. Whether you're managing a single parish or several, Mass Intentions keeps the ledger simple, accurate, and always up to date.
