MoveMyBox keeps your move and storage inventory organized from the first packed item to the last unpacked box. Create numbered boxes, add items in seconds, and group everything by move and room. Track each box with statuses, flags, notes and photos, so finding chargers, dishes or documents does not mean opening every box after moving day. For storage, record units with numbers, sizes, access codes, locations, companies, lease dates and costs. Search across boxes, items and rooms, generate QR labels for boxes, share labels as images or PDFs, and export inventories as PDF or CSV when you need a copy for movers, storage planning or your own records. No Life Utility Apps account is required. Your inventory is stored on your device and, when enabled, in your iCloud account so it can sync across your devices.
