Home move inventory & labels

Boxtrot

Photograph an item. Boxtrot names it, sorts it into a category and estimates what it’s worth.

Then sort your move on one board, print QR labels for every box and hand your insurer an inventory report.

Coming soon on theApp Store

For iPad, iPhone and Mac

Free for your first 10 items. AI on your own Claude or ChatGPT key. No account, no tracking, no subscription.

Identify and value

Point the camera, get the facts

Stop typing out every lamp and chair. Photograph it and let Claude or ChatGPT tell you what it is and what it is worth, then keep what you like.

  1. Take a photo

    Photograph the item with Boxtrot’s camera. A few angles and a close-up of the label help; up to four photos are used.

  2. Boxtrot identifies it

    Tap Identify for its name, category, brand, model and condition, read from the photos and anything you already typed.

  3. Get its value and a write-up

    Estimate value gives what it sells for second-hand today and what it cost new. Draft listing writes a title, a description and an asking price you can edit.

Every suggestion sits next to what the item has now: tick the ones you want and apply. Boxtrot also reads receipts (purchase date and total paid) and looks up barcodes on the web.

Each row shows the field now and what the AI suggests: name Uplift V2 Standing Desk, 60 in; category Furniture; brand Uplift; model V2 Commercial; condition Like new. Brand and model fill empty fields and are ticked, and the button reads Apply 2 fields.

Features

Sort, sell and document a move

Moving house means deciding, for every single thing you own, whether it comes with you, gets sold or is given away. Boxtrot turns that into one board you can see at a glance.

  • Identify and value with AI

    Take a photo and Claude or ChatGPT fills in the item for you, on your own key.

    • Identify: name, category, brand, model and condition, from up to four photos and whatever you already typed.
    • Estimate value: what it sells for second-hand today, and what it cost new.
    • Draft listing: a title, a description and an asking price for selling it.

    • Look up barcode: the product behind a barcode, found on the web. Book barcodes are looked up for free, no key needed.
    • Every suggestion sits next to what you have. Nothing changes until you apply it, and Undo puts it back.
    • No key? “Ask your own AI app” copies a prompt and the item’s photos for you to paste into your own Claude or ChatGPT app.

  • Your whole move on one board

    • Filter by category, room or “needs attention”; sort by value or by what you paid.

Pricing

Free to start, one purchase to unlock

No subscription and no hidden paywall.

Free

10 items · 1 board

Every feature, the AI actions included, for your first 10 items on one board. Backups always include everything.

Boxtrot Unlimited

US$1.99 · once

One in-app purchase unlocks unlimited items and boards, for good. The AI actions are the same as in the free version.

AI is included in both: Boxtrot sells no AI plan and no credits. The only extra cost is what your provider charges for the requests you make with your own key.

Nothing is ever hidden or deleted: the free version only limits how many items and boards you can add, and every backup always includes everything.
