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.

About

BoxLabels

Features
Read full description

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.

Verdict

The call
