DenimNotes is the precision sourcing tool for fashion buyers, designers, and sourcing managers working the trade show floor. Stop photographing labels with your regular camera, scribbling notes on paper, and piecing it all together on a WhatsApp thread at midnight. DenimNotes captures everything in the moment — article number via OCR scan, composition, price, and a voice note — and delivers a polished PDF to your supplier before you leave the building. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Point the camera at any fabric label. The OCR engine reads the article number instantly. Tap the shutter. Done. No typing, no errors, no lost details. For unlabelled swatches, a 4-field manual entry panel slides up from the bottom. For verbal details, hold the mic and speak — Whisper transcription saves your note automatically. CLASSIFY YOUR COLLECTION Organise every fabric with a 5-level taxonomy: stretch type, construction, softness, shade, and price tier. Classify during the show or batch-classify everything afterwards in card-stack mode — swipe right to save, swipe left to skip. The collection overview shows your selection at a glance: 12 rigid, 4 crosshatch, 3 premium — exactly what you need to make buying decisions. TWO MODES, ONE APP Buyers and designers use DenimNotes to capture fabrics and send sample requests to mills. Supplier reps use it to note what buyers select from their range and send selection confirmations back to brands. Set your mode once during onboarding — the app adapts to your workflow. WORKS AT THE SHOW, WORKS ON THE PLANE DenimNotes is offline-first. Capture everything without a signal. The moment you reconnect, everything syncs silently to the cloud. No lost data. No interrupted sessions. SHARE IN ONE TAP Every session ends with a professional PDF — fabric image, article number, composition, price, taxonomy, and any notes. Send it via WhatsApp with a pre-filled message, or share through any app on your phone. BUILT FOR THE DENIM AND TEXTILE INDUSTRY DenimNotes was built by people who have walked Kingpins, Première Vision, and Munich Fabric Start. It speaks the language of the trade: rigid, crosshatch, CDFA, article numbers, MOQs. No learning curve — just open it and start capturing.

BoxTrail helps a household mover pack under time pressure and still find the coffee grinder on move-day. Build a box-by-box inventory on this device, mark which boxes open first, print tape-on labels with a device-local QR code, and walk into the new place able to retrieve any box by room or by item. The app is local-first. There is no account, no sign-in, no cloud sync, and no shared inventory. All boxes, items, optional photos, room lanes, and QR labels stay on this device. The QR code on a printed label is a device-local deep link that opens the matching box record only on the device where it was created. Use BoxTrail to: - Name a move and lay out destination rooms before you start packing - Add boxes as you pack them, with optional contents, photos, and notes - Mark each box Open first, Day 1, Week 1, or Storage so move-day priority is obvious - Print a tape-on label sheet for the printer, the family, the movers, or first-night unpacking - Scan a label to open the matching box on this device or search the manifest by item BoxTrail is for personal moving documentation. It does not provide shipping tracking, insurance valuation, ownership proof, cloud backup, or shared family inventory.
