Stop losing track of your belongings. Tap your iPhone on a box's NFC tag, or scan its QR label, and that box opens with everything inside. BOXY is a smart box organizer that helps you catalog, locate, and organize everything you own — and share it with others for free. Label your storage boxes with unique 4-character codes. Add your box contents by typing, speaking, or snapping a photo. Search across all boxes to find any item in seconds. BOXY turns packing and decluttering into a simple, satisfying process. WHAT MAKES BOXY DIFFERENT • Items from a Photo: Photograph an open box and BOXY suggests what's inside. You review the list before anything is saved.

Writing tags is a Pro feature • Voice Input: Add items hands-free — just speak and BOXY listens • Siri & Shortcuts: Ask Siri where something is and hear the answer, or build your own automations from 20+ actions • AI Descriptions: Get smart summaries of each box's contents • Free Sharing: Invite family or friends to view and edit boxes at no cost • Print Labels: Create sticker labels with QR codes for your storage boxes KEY FEATURES • Quick Box Creation: Generate unique codes for easy identification • Smart Search: Find any item across all categories and boxes • Interactive Widgets: Access boxes from your home screen and lock screen • Code Scanning: Use your camera to open a box instantly • Customizable Categories: Organize boxes into groups that make sense to you • Cloud Sync: Access your inventory on all your devices • Spotlight Search: Find your items directly from iOS search • Control Center: Manage boxes with one tap Perfect for moving, seasonal storage, home organization, or anyone who wants to know exactly where their belongings are.
