BoxTrail vs Bookhand

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.

Bookhand is a free app for writing little books: journals, notes, ideas, short stories, poetry, philosophical treatises or anything else you feel like writing. The idea is that your words live on something like actual paper. Your text is typeset onto real pages with proper margins and page numbers, the pages curl as you turn them, and every notebook gets its own paper size, typefaces, colors and a cover you design yourself. READING A notebook opens in Page Mode, laid out the way it would be set on printed paper, from pocket A6 up to A4. There's also a full-screen e-reader mode with the same page-turning, an outline for jumping to a chapter or section, in-book search, and a page grid for finding your place visually. WRITING Edit Mode is a full-screen, distraction-free editor for your award-winning novel, thrilling memoir or truly revolutionary shopping list, whichever the case may be. Paragraphs can be headings, body text or block quotes; add images and control how they sit on the page. A rearrange mode lets you move, copy and cut whole paragraphs at once. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from seventeen carefully picked typefaces, set your paper size and margins, pick paper and ink colors, style the page numbers, then design the cover: board color, patterns, foil stamping, frames, flourishes and your own lettering. YOUR WORDS ARE YOURS Notebooks are stored on your device. There are no accounts, no servers and no database, and your text goes nowhere unless you want it to. Export to PDF, EPUB, Markdown or plain text, or as a .bookhand file for handing a notebook to someone else (or storing a backup for yourself). Import works too: bring in Markdown, plain text or EPUB. Notebooks can also be locked or hidden behind a PIN. FREE, REALLY Bookhand is made by one person as a personal project, so it's free, with no ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions and no upsell pop-ups. I just wanted an app where it's fun to sit down and write little books. I imagine you do too, so here we are.
