Buying emergency supplies is just the first step. Staying prepared means knowing what you have, what’s missing, and when to restock. When does your drinking water expire? How much emergency food is left? How long have you had those spare batteries? Does everyone in your family have what they need? PrepNotify is an emergency supply tracker built for you. Organize your supplies, track quantities and expiration dates, and get timely reminders so your supplies are ready when you need them. ## Know What You Have Organize food, water, emergency supplies, and essentials for babies, older adults, and pets by category. Record quantities, photos, expiration dates, and more. Search and filter to check your stock faster. ## Know What to Use First Based on quantities and expiration dates, PrepNotify marks items as Expiring Soon, Out of stock, Good, or Expired. See what to use or replace first. With notifications enabled, the app schedules one-time expiration reminders when a valid reminder time is available. Items with no stock don’t receive reminders. ## Check Without Opening the App Use a Home Screen widget to check items that need attention and their expiration status at a glance. ## Prepare Your Way Everyone’s needs are different. Build a supply list that fits you or your household, from everyday essentials and emergency kits to items for babies, older adults, and pets. ## Your Supplies, Across Devices Your item data and photos stay on your device and sync through your private iCloud database across devices signed in to the same Apple Account, so you don’t have to start over. ## Your Data Stays Yours No ads. No cross-app tracking. We don’t store your item data or photos on our own servers. They stay on your devices and in your private iCloud database. PrepNotify — Don’t just think you’re prepared. Know what you have.

Keep the little moments that make your days. LittleBox is a soft, pretty journal built around boxes. Make a box for anything you love, like matcha, walks, piano, flowers or journaling, and give it a name, a colour and a print of its own. When something happens, tap its box. That's it. Add a photo or a few words if you feel like it, or nothing at all. EVERY DAY GETS A BOARD Each moment lands on a pinboard for that day as a polaroid or a little sticker. Scroll back through your days and see how they looked. Choose a paper, pattern and frame for your boards. YOUR MONTH, IN PHOTOS See the whole month on a calendar, or as a timeline of daily boards. Browse every photo as a polaroid in your album, and open any moment to read its story. MAKE A MONTHLY POSTER Turn a month into a keepsake poster with your photos, stickers and tape, then save or share it. With Pro, restyle the paper, title and tape, and shuffle the layout until it feels right. SEE WHAT YOUR DAYS ARE MADE OF A monthly recap shows which boxes you visit most, your busiest days, and the notes you wrote along the way. Pro adds a full-year view. GENTLE BY DESIGN • Tap a box to save a moment in two taps • Add up to five photos and a short note to any moment • Take a photo in the app and save a copy to your Photos library • A daily reminder that you choose, or none at all • Reminders for individual boxes • Automatic backups on your iPhone PRIVATE, ALWAYS Your moments are yours. LittleBox doesn't collect, read or keep your boxes, photos or notes. They stay on your iPhone and in your own private iCloud, where only you can see them. No account, no ads, no advertising trackers. LITTLEBOX FREE AND PRO Start free with three boxes, the board, calendar, timeline, album, monthly poster, monthly recap and iCloud sync. LittleBox Pro unlocks unlimited boxes, every board style and box pattern, the full sticker collection, poster styling and shuffle, and the yearly recap.
