Move Prep

Set one date. Move Prep plans the rest. Move Prep is the organized move you've been promising yourself: a plan that follows your real moving date, every box in one searchable list, and every address change in one place. It is quiet, light and offline, and it works without an account. HOME Open the app and see the three things to do this week, not thirty. A countdown to moving day keeps the whole move in view, on your home screen and on your lock screen for the last week. THE PLAN Set your moving date and 77 tasks land on the calendar around it. Every task has a date, a note and an optional reminder. Utilities get their own details: provider, dates and account numbers. Tell us your new state and the driver's license and registration deadlines join the plan with real due dates. BOXES Number every box automatically. Give each one a room, a status and a list of what is inside. Add a photo so you can see the box before you open it. Point the camera at the contents and tap the suggestions that fit. Print box labels as a PDF and tape them on. On moving day, scan a label: the room name fills the screen, tap Unloaded, done. WALKTHROUGH Dated photos of every room, before you leave and when you arrive, with a note on each one. One tap makes a PDF report for your landlord, buyer or insurer. SUPPLIES AND VALUE A packing supplies estimate tells you how many boxes, rolls of tape and pounds of paper to buy. Add a value to any box and export the whole inventory as a PDF and CSV for insurance. ADDRESS CHANGES 70 services and accounts that need your new address, grouped by category, plus your new state's DMV and voter registration links. Copy your new address with one tap, paste it into the form, then check the service off. HOUSEHOLD Share the move with the people moving with you. It syncs through your own iCloud: no account, no server, edits merge on both phones. SIRI "Add a box to Move Prep" and "How many days until my move?" work from Siri and Shortcuts. QUIET REMINDERS One gentle reminder a day, only when something is due. Turn it off any time. EXPORT AND IMPORT Save your whole move to a file and bring it back on another phone, or keep it as a backup. HOW PRICING WORKS Everything is free for the first 7 days. After that, a single one-time purchase of $9.99 unlocks Move Prep for good on your Apple ID. No subscription. No renewals. Nothing to cancel. Pay once, keep it. Already bought it? Restore Purchase brings it back. WHAT WE DO NOT DO - No account, email or password. - No ads and no tracking. - No internet needed. Your data stays on your phone (and in your own iCloud only if you turn on household sharing). - No subscription, ever. Made by SJP Productions for one of the most stressful weeks of your life. This is a general guide, so check with each provider for their own process.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Drawery at every 9 days against Move Prep's every 3 months. Move Prep's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
