About

Homeshift

Homeshift is a moving inventory for iPhone and iPad. It is for anyone who is moving and does not want to search through twenty boxes to find one thing. You pack a box, photograph what went into it and stick a QR label on top. Three weeks later the boxes are standing in the new place and you are looking for the kettle. You scan the label and see straight away what is in which box. Homeshift keeps everything on your device: boxes, items and photos. The app works without an account and without an internet connection. If you are moving with somebody else, you can sign in and share the move. That part is optional. BOXES AND ROOMS • Number, title, room and note for each box • Status from Open through Packed and Arrived to Unpacked • Mark a box as fragile, attach photos • Search across every box and its contents RECORDING THE CONTENTS WITHOUT MUCH TYPING • Quick entry understands quantities: "4 plates" becomes 4x plate • Photograph the contents of a box and add the recognized items with one tap • Scan labels and printed text live with the camera • Packing suggestions that fit the room • Image recognition runs on the device. No photo leaves your iPhone. QR LABELS TO STICK ON • Print-ready labels with a QR code, box number, title and room • One scan opens the box directly in the app • All labels at once as a PDF, and you decide what goes on them TASKS WITH A TIMELINE • 58 suggestions for a move, sorted into paperwork, packing, old place, new place, moving day and afterwards • The due dates follow moving day. If the date moves, the tasks move with it • A date you set yourself stays unchanged • Task board with Backlog, Active and Done, with drag and drop on iPad NOT ONLY BOXES • Furniture list with what happens to each piece: take it along, sell it or dispose of it • Damage report for the handover, with severity, photos and PDF export • Storage for the cellar, the attic and lockups, kept apart from the move and with its own labels • AR mode that shows you the contents above every box in the room • Several moves side by side, switched with one tap MOVING TOGETHER, IF YOU WANT TO • Sign in with Apple or Google, put the move into the cloud and invite helpers by link or QR code • Changes appear on every device right away • Roles: work along, or read only • Photos are transferred only if you switch that on • You can stop sharing at any time and delete your account in the app at any time ON IPAD • A sidebar instead of a tab bar, list and detail side by side • The same data as on the iPhone EXPORT AND BACKUP • PDF manifest, CSV table or JSON archive • If you want it, syncing between your own devices through your own iCloud account, photos included and without an account with us • Widget with a countdown to moving day and your packing progress Homeshift follows the language of your device.
