QR
Label without publishing the contents
The printed QR label identifies the box and opens its local PackQR record. It does not turn your detailed item list into a public web page.

Keep track of what is inside every moving box, print QR moving labels and find packed items offline. When useful, add estimated replacement values later and create a clear record without slowing the packing flow.

PackQR 1.8 · pack together, stay private
Share only what they need.Selected rooms or boxes can go to the helper. Sensitive boxes stay on your device.
What PackQR is
A moving inventory that stays useful after the tape goes on.
PackQR gives each box a private record on your iPhone or iPad. Add the contents while you pack, put a QR label on the outside, then scan or search when you need to find something later.
⌕
Find boxes offline
Search by item, room, box or notes even when the signal is poor. Your core inventory does not depend on a PackQR server.
🎙
Record items faster
Type, speak several items, or use AI Pack Scan as a suggestion tool. Review what PackQR proposes before saving it.
£
Pay once
PackQR costs £1.99 once. There is no PackQR subscription to keep your box inventory searchable after moving day.
PackQR 1.8
Pack together, protect what’s private and keep a clearer record of your move.
Version 1.8 brings PackQR’s privacy-first moving workflow together: QR-paired two-device collaboration with encrypted remote return, Sensitive Boxes, optional replacement values and reports, plus stronger safeguards around local inventory continuity.
↔
Start nearby, return from anywhere
Pair one Master and one Contributor by QR code, share the whole eligible move or only selected rooms or boxes, then work independently offline. Returned additions can come back directly when nearby or as an encrypted PackQR handoff file shared remotely for Master review.
◉
Protect Sensitive Boxes
Hide private item names, notes, photos and estimated values behind Face ID, Touch ID or device passcode. Sensitive Boxes stay out of collaboration sharing.
£
Build a replacement-value record
Record optional estimated replacement values after packing, review missing values quickly and create coverage-aware PDF or CSV household contents reports for your own moving or insurance records.
✓
Safer local data handling
If PackQR finds evidence of a previous inventory but the protected local store is unexpectedly missing, it stops before silently creating an empty replacement and gives you a clear recovery choice.
Join nearby
Pair the Contributor directly with the Master.
Review coverage
See what is valued and what is still blank.
Value what matters
Add values after packing without slowing quick entry.
Privacy-first collaboration
Let someone help with the move without sharing your whole inventory.
Most shared apps put everyone into one continuously synced inventory. PackQR takes a different route: you choose what the second device receives, both people can pack independently, and you review what comes back.
Choose what they can see
Share the whole eligible move, selected rooms or individual boxes. Out-of-scope Master inventory is not sent to the Contributor.
Keep Sensitive Boxes private
Boxes marked Sensitive are excluded from the Master share and can be hidden behind Face ID, Touch ID or device passcode on your own device.
Pack independently
The Contributor gets a local packing copy and can create boxes, add items, use supported voice and AI, and take photos without staying connected to the Master.
Return nearby or remotely
Return additions directly when the devices are together, or send the encrypted PackQR handoff file back remotely—for example by email. The Master still reviews what to import before anything changes.
Start nearby. Return from anywhere.
The initial collaboration handoff still needs both PackQR devices nearby so the Contributor can scan the QR and receive the scoped packing copy directly. After that, the Contributor can work offline or in another location and return an encrypted PackQR handoff file remotely—for example by email—or return directly when the devices are together again.
Simple moving-box workflow
Pack. Label. Scan. Find.
The app is built around the thing you actually need on moving day: knowing what is in a box and where it should go.
Create the box
Give it a number and destination room, then add contents by keyboard, voice or AI-assisted photo recognition.
Print the QR label
Print a label with the box number, room and useful handling information without placing the detailed contents on the outside.
Keep packing
Add photos, notes and handling details as useful. Your inventory remains available locally on the device.
Scan or search later
When you need the kettle, charger or documents, search the inventory or scan the box instead of opening everything.
Privacy you can understand
A QR label should identify the box—not advertise what is inside it.
PackQR keeps the detailed inventory in your local app record. Sensitive Boxes add another layer for private inventory, and collaboration lets you choose how much context a packing partner receives.
No PackQR accountThe core box inventory does not require usernames, passwords or a PackQR identity.
No PackQR cloud inventoryYour household item list is not stored in a PackQR-operated shared database.
Manual backupsYou choose when to make a backup and where to store the exported file.
Honest limitsDevice authentication is access control, not a claim that each record sits in a separate encrypted vault.
When PackQR is the right fit
Choose privacy and control over always-on sharing.
PackQR is strongest for one or two people who want a moving-specific QR inventory, offline access, deliberate sharing and optional post-packing replacement-value records without creating a shared cloud inventory.
✓
Good fit
You want private labels, local records, offline searching, one helper and a review step before their work becomes part of your main inventory.
↔
Live sync is different
If several people need to edit the same inventory at once and see changes instantly from different places, a cloud-sync product may suit you better.
Moving beyond the boxes
Plan the move separately. Keep the box inventory focused.
Move Planner by PackQR is a separate free companion for dates, tasks and moving-day planning. PackQR remains focused on the physical boxes and what is inside them.
