Features & Capabilities

Say what's in the box while you tape it shut. BoxBuddy turns your words into searchable keywords and prints them on the label. Snap. Label. Move.

Moving doesn't have to mean losing track of your stuff.

BoxBuddy turns chaotic moving boxes into a searchable, shareable inventory — so you always know what's where, even before you've unpacked.

SNAP A PHOTO, BOXBUDDY DOES THE REST Photograph the contents of each box as you pack. BoxBuddy catalogs everything automatically, building a visual inventory you can search later — no manual lists, no guessing what's inside box #14.

TALK WHILE YOU PACK — BOXBUDDY DOES THE FILING This is the part people don't expect. Say what's going into the box while your hands are busy with tape and bubble wrap, and BoxBuddy doesn't just transcribe you — it reads what you said against a dictionary of hundreds of household items and pulls out the things that matter. The cast iron pan. The winter coats. The good glasses.

Those become searchable keywords attached to that box, and they print right on its label. So the box that took you eight seconds to describe out loud is findable months later by typing "cast iron" — and readable from the outside without opening it. No typing, no stopping, no checklist. You talk, the inventory builds itself.

PRINT QR LABELS, FIND ANYTHING INSTANTLY Every box gets a unique QR code label. Scan it with your phone to see exactly what's inside — without opening a single flap. Print labels right from the app, or from your computer at boxbuddy.tech. No special printer or extra hardware required — and printing is included on every plan, free ones too.

SEARCH YOUR ENTIRE MOVE BY KEYWORD Looking for the coffee maker? Type it in and BoxBuddy tells you exactly which box — and which room — it's in. No more opening ten boxes to find one item.

SHARE YOUR MOVE WITH FAMILY Moving is a team sport. Invite your partner, roommates, or family to your BoxBuddy inventory — up to five people on one move, all seeing the same boxes, labels, and locations in real time. One person packs the kitchen, another handles the garage, and nobody loses track of anything.

NOT JUST FOR MOVING DAY Keep using BoxBuddy long after you unpack — basements, garages, storage units, seasonal bins, closets. Downsizing, renovating, or just tired of not knowing what's in the bins? It keeps your household organized all year round.

BUILT FOR EVERY KIND OF MOVE • Young professionals moving into their first apartment • Growing families relocating for more space • Empty nesters downsizing after the kids move out • Anyone facing a divorce, renovation, or major life change

WHY PEOPLE LOVE BOXBUDDY • No more "where did we put the can opener?" • No more handwritten labels that smudge, fall off, or get packed face-down • A searchable photo inventory of everything you own — good for insurance and home records long after the boxes are gone • A printable packing checklist that keeps your move organized room by room

User Reviews

Let me start by saying that of all of the ‘moving’ apps this one looks to be the most promising. The others are just awful. Initially, I blasted this app, but after getting solid and cordial responses from Steffen, the developer, who’s been working with me to sort out some issues, I’ve re-written my review and upped this app to Four Stars. Now, with that said, I’m writing this review early in the this apps life and I have had a fair share of challenges with it. Some of it has to do with the convoluted way that Apple associates additional email addresses to the actual ‘iCloud’ or ‘Mac.com’ email addresses they let to one’s Apple ID. The developer has attempted to make logging easy and to invite guests to join in on the +moving fun+. What we learned is that using Apple’s +Hide My Email+ alias is not a great idea at this juncture. It’ll cause you a headache. All that said, I think this app will be the one to top. The others are so convoluted, I’d rather just track things in a paper notebook or an Excel sheet. Hopefully we can get BoxBuddy fully on track, and I’ll update my review and star rating, accordingly.

I didn’t find an app that was better, but this one has some quirky features that are really problematic. First unlike every other iPad program that’s been written, this one does not auto save. You can be packing and taking photographs but if you navigate away from BoxBuddy or look at something else in the program, all of your work for that box is gone—pictures, descriptions, everything. You must implicitly save the box or risk losing it while you’re packing. - I bought the family plan and my husband has an iPad and he can’t log into box buddy or hit it from the web. The link takes him to a page where it wants him to buy the app. He’s on my Apple family plan so I should’ve been able to do it with just a single subscriber, but that didn’t work and now after paying for the family plan it still doesn’t work for two people. Printing is also a challenge. I could not get any of the barcodes to print, whether print directly or sharing to Acrobat. I can see them on the screen, but they don’t print out . One workaround that worked was taking a photograph of the printout and then printing it out from iPad pictures. Also, when I scan the barcode, it opened up BoxBuddy showed me the box and then froze the app so I had to unload the app to look at anything else . I see on various sites that many other people are having similar problems to me but BoxBuddy hasn’t fixed it. I wrote an email to tech-support which they advertise response in 24 hours, but it’s been a week and no response. BoxBuddy sort of works,but not as advertised. You have to be very careful how you use it and don’t expect all the features to be functional. I just hope my box inventory will still be there after I move.
