FROM THE DEVELOPER Hey there! I designed Spool Shelf to make filament inventory management fun and intuitive, so 3D printing hobbyists (like me!) can easily manage their ever-growing filament stockpile. As a 3D printing hobbyist myself, I took great care when building Spool Shelf so that it works exactly as a hobbyist would expect. I am incredibly proud to share Spool Shelf with you, and I truly hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed building it. If you love Spool Shelf, Iβd love to hear about it! If you find a bug, have a feature request, or if something else is on your mind, Iβd love to hear about that too! My goal is to make Spool Shelf the best it can be, and feedback like yours makes all the difference. You can reach out to me at hello@spoolshelf.app Happy printing!

MoveBox is the moving command center: one place for the plan, the boxes, and the lists that make moving day boring (in the best way). You do not start from a blank page. MoveBox ships with a curated 8-week timeline, a Canadian address-change checklist, and a day-one essentials template, all fully editable. THE 8-WEEK TIMELINE 48 real tasks in weekly buckets: book the movers, give notice, reserve the elevator, transfer utilities, defrost the freezer. Set your moving day and MoveBox highlights the week you are in, with practical notes on the tasks that need them. Completed weeks fold away; what matters now stays on top. A BOX INVENTORY THAT ANSWERS QUESTIONS Every box gets an automatic number (B-001, B-002...) that is never reused, so the marker writing on the cardboard stays true. Give each box a room color, a contents list, a photo of the open box, and flags: fragile, heavy, open first. Then search. "Chargers" finds the right box in seconds, three weeks after you taped it shut. ROOM COLOR CODES Eight label colors, one per room. The chips appear on box cards, in the box detail, and in the printed manifest legend, so movers know where everything goes without asking. DAY-ONE ESSENTIALS The box you open before anything else: toilet paper, kettle, chargers, tools, bedding, medications. An 18-item template, categorized and editable, with progress you can see. ADDRESS-CHANGE CHECKLIST 25 organizations grouped the sensible way: government (CRA, SAAQ or your provincial registrar, health card, Canada Post forwarding), money, home services, health and school, subscriptions. Add your own, check them off, done. MOVERS AND QUOTES Keep every quote next to the plan: company, contact, amount, notes on stairs fees and insurance. Mark the winner as booked. PRINTABLE LABELS, MANIFEST, AND CSV Print a sheet of big numbered labels, one per box, with the room color and flags, then cut and tape them on. Export a box manifest grouped by room, ready to tape inside the truck, and the moving-day checklist for the fridge. Send your whole inventory to a CSV spreadsheet for insurance or your own records. UNPACKING, NOT JUST PACKING The move is not over at the truck. Mark each box unpacked at the destination and watch the progress fill. A move overview keeps packing, unpacking, and the timeline in one glance. Duplicate a box in one tap when the next one looks just like it. FREE VS LIFETIME Free includes 10 boxes and the first 2 weeks of the timeline, plus the essentials list, the address checklist, and mover quotes. One lifetime purchase unlocks everything forever: unlimited boxes, all 8 weeks, printable labels, and PDF and CSV export. No subscription, no account. Everything stays on your iPhone. No cloud, no tracking, no sign-up.
