Why BoxOrganizer?

Everybody knows it: You’ve just moved, everything is packed and suddenly you need something very specific. No matter if it is your grandma’s old vase, your favorite book, or your running shoes. They are probably all in one of the many boxes and you don’t know which.

That’s where BoxOrganizer comes in handy. With the app, you can easily add your boxes to a project and start scanning all of your valuable items. Now, when you need something, just search for it and the app tells you, where you’ve put it. That’s how easy it can be.

And the best part is: It doesn’t end there! BoxOrganizer can also help you keep track of your DVD or book collection, your wine-drawer and many more. You decide, for what and where you want to use it.

How does the BoxOrganizer work?

① Create a new project
② Add your boxes to the project
③ Print your Box-Codes (network-printer required) and stick them on the right boxes
④ Now start adding items by either using the scanner or manually in the respective box
⑤ Create Tags and add them to your items to find them even faster
⑥ Put the item into its real-life box and let us keep track of it

To print Box-Codes, just long-press on one of the boxes, select all the ones you need a Code for and press the printer-symbol.

Can I share boxes with other people?

All of your data is currently saved directly on your device and therefore not accessible for other people. But, we are already working on concepts and plans to enable multi-device support as well as sharing of boxes with friends and family. These features are under activ development and will be released soon.

What are Box-/ Item-Codes?

With Box-Codes you can easily check the content of a box by simply scanning the code and the app tells you what is inside.

Item-Codes work similar and help you to open an item even faster in order to modify it or look at its information.

The codes are available in following sizes:
- Single (1 Code per page)
- Grid (4-9 Codes per page)
- Row (3-6 Codes per page)

What do I need to use Box-/ Item-Codes?

To use our Box-/ or Item-Codes you need to have a network-printer in the same wifi-network as your smartphone. Now select all of the boxes you want to print a Box-Code for and press the printer icon in the header. After that, just select your layout, size and how many copies of each code should be printed. After that press 'next', select your printer and make sure, that 'double-sided printing' is turned off. Finally, press 'print' and you are ready to go with your new box-/ or item-codes!

I don't have a Network-Printer

No problem! Even-though, you are not able to print Box- or Item-Codes, you can still use BoxOrganizer for your projects. Instead of printing individual Codes, you can just name your boxes individually and write the respective name with a bold marker on them. Now you can search for the box’s name and the app tells you what you’ve put inside. The same applies for Items.

What are tags used for?

Tags help you to find multiple items which belong to the same category. Take for example different genres of books (e.g. drama, science, thriller etc.). You want to read a book of one of these genres, but you don’t know which? If you have added appropriate Tags to your books, you can just search for your respective category and the app tells you which books might be fitting and where they are stored. You can apply the same principle also for your wine drawer and your DVD collection. There are no limits!
