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.
