BoxLabels

BoxLabels helps you keep track of storage boxes without building a spreadsheet first. Create boxes, add the items inside, print durable QR labels, and scan a label later to find the exact box. It is designed for moves, garages, archives, office storage, classrooms, and long-term household organization. The app keeps the core workflow on device: box inventory, search, QR generation, PDF label export, and JSON metadata backup run locally. When iCloud is available, inventory can sync through the user's private iCloud database. A one-time unlock enables unlimited boxes, Pro label formats, and item photos. Attached photos stay in the app's Documents folder or iCloud Drive when available.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Open MobileUI at none against BoxLabels's 1. Open MobileUI also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
