"It sold! ...now, which box did I put it in?" HacoStock ends the dig. Search your stored items with a photo and it tells you exactly which numbered box the item is in. No more opening carton after carton to check. ◆ When it sells, search with the listing photo Point the photo you used in your listing at the app, and image search picks out the matching item automatically. See "Box 3", open that one box, done. A 30-minute dig becomes a single search. After shipping, mark it Sold with one tap and keep it as your sales log. ◆ The system is simple: snap, then write a number 1. Snap each item before you store it. OCR reads the name and tags are generated from the photo. No typing. 2. Every box in the app gets an auto-assigned number. Write the same number on the real box with a marker, and the physical box and the app stay linked. 3. When you need something, search by photo. You will know which box it is in without opening any. ◆ Made for - Sellers listing figures, trading cards, merch, or clothes on marketplace apps - Collectors whose collection has outgrown the shelf and lives in boxes - Anyone who wants to stop double-buying ("wait, do I already own this?") - Keeping track of what is in which box across moves, storage units, and closets ◆ More ways to find things Filter by tags, keywords, favorites, and sale status. Three view modes (thumbnail, card, list) keep even hundreds of items scannable. Rename "Box" to "Shelf," "Collection," or anything you like. ◆ Beautiful design Six color themes, including the signature kraft paper look, with a glass UI. Native on both iPhone and iPad, with Multitasking and Split View support. ◆ About Pro The free tier supports up to 3 boxes and 50 items. Pro (one-time purchase, no subscription) unlocks unlimited boxes and items, iCloud sync (one collection across iPhone, iPad, and Mac), and ZIP export for backup and hand-off. ◆ Privacy Your data lives on your device. No account or login required; image analysis and search run on-device, and nothing is sent to the developer's servers. If you want multiple devices, Pro's opt-in iCloud sync goes through your own iCloud only.
