Packmap turns a pile of identical moving boxes into something you can actually search. Label each box with a QR code and a big, color-coded badge, then log what goes inside however is fastest — type it, dictate it, or snap a photo and let Packmap name what it sees. When you're unpacking and can't find the coffee maker, just search for it and Packmap tells you which box it's in. The color-coded, named, numbered labels can be spotted from across the room! PRINT SMART LABELS • Create a whole room's boxes at once and print their labels two to a page. • Each label has a scannable QR code and a bold room color so you can spot it across a room. • Renaming a box never breaks its printed label (but you can reprint with the new name and color). LOG HANDS-FREE • Hold the microphone button like a walkie-talkie and rattle off items — they drop into the list as you speak. • Snap or pick a photo and Packmap suggests the items it recognizes. • Or just type. Whatever's fastest with your hands full. FIND ANYTHING • Search in plain language — "where are my headphones?" works. • Scan a box's QR code to jump straight to its contents. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Everything works on your device, offline, with no account. • Even photo recognition runs on-device — your photos never leave your iPhone. • Nothing collected, no ads, no tracking.
