BoxBuddy Press Kit
Everything journalists, bloggers, and content creators need to write about BoxBuddy — the moving organization app for iPhone and iPad.
Key Facts
What Is BoxBuddy?
BoxBuddy is a moving and home inventory app for iPhone and iPad that helps families track the contents of every box they pack. Each box gets a printable QR code label that anyone — movers, family, friends — can scan with their smartphone camera to instantly see what is inside. No app download required.
The app features voice dictation for hands-free descriptions, an offline Fast Capture mode for basements and storage units, room-based color-coded organization, and a 60-second-per-box workflow designed for real packing conditions.
BoxBuddy uses a one-time pricing model ($19.99 Individual, $29.99 Family) with no subscriptions or recurring fees — a key differentiator in a market dominated by monthly subscription apps.
What Makes BoxBuddy Different
- QR labels anyone can scan — movers scan with their phone camera. No app download, no account, no login. Contents appear in the browser.
- Voice-first dictation — speak box contents instead of typing. Industry-first for moving apps.
- Fast Capture mode — log a box in under 10 seconds. Works offline in basements and storage units.
- One-time pricing — $19.99 once. No monthly fees. Competitors like Sortly charge $9.99/month ($119.88/year).
- Family sharing — up to 5 members can pack and search the shared inventory simultaneously.
- 60-second workflow — photograph, describe, label, done. Designed for packing-day speed.
- Room color codes — each room gets a color. Labels and boxes are color-coded so movers know where everything goes at a glance.
- Unlimited everything — unlimited boxes, photos, rooms, and moves. No caps, no tiers.
Founder Quotes
"I built BoxBuddy because I watched my family spend 3 days looking for a coffee maker after our last move. Every box was labeled 'kitchen stuff' in marker. That's not a system — that's chaos."
"Most moving apps charge $10 a month for something you use for two weeks. BoxBuddy is a one-time purchase because moving is stressful enough without subscription anxiety."
"The QR label is the killer feature. Your mover doesn't have BoxBuddy installed — but they can scan the label with their camera and know exactly what's in the box and where it should go. That's useful technology."
