Moving house? Packing for storage? Never lose track of what's in which box again. Boxed Up turns every cardboard box into a smart, searchable container. Stick a QR code on the outside, scan it with your camera, and the contents pop up live on screen - even if you packed it six months ago. Free to download — try it with up to 2 locations, 5 boxes, and 15 items per box. Unlock unlimited storage with a one-time Full Access purchase when you're ready. Add items in seconds: * Scan a product barcode and Boxed Up auto-fills the name, brand, category, and even the ingredient list (food) or author and publisher (books). * Snap a photo and on-device AI suggests the item name - no internet required. * Take a few photos of the inside before sealing each box, so you can browse what's in there visually later. Built for real moves: * Track boxes across multiple locations - Living Room, Garage, Storage Unit A, anywhere. * Bulk-move every box to a new location in two taps. * Search across every item in every box to find exactly what you need. * Print custom QR labels sized for NIIMBOT thermal printers (12-50 mm rolls), or A4 sheets if you're going analog. Your data stays on your phone. No accounts, no servers, no telemetry. Boxed Up works completely offline - the only outbound calls are user-initiated barcode lookups to Open Food Facts and Open Library, and only the scanned barcode number is sent.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Boxed Up at every 2 months against Screen Light App's every 4 months. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
