Box Retriever
Know what's in every bin without opening it.
Snap a photo of what's going in the bin and Box Retriever lists it for you, even the titles on book, movie and game spines. Print a QR label, tape it on, and scan it later to see what's inside.
For iPhone. No account, and your lists stay on your phone.
Room, location, bin. Or just bins.
Set it up however your house works: a barn with a metal shelf and six totes, or three bins under the bed. Each item gets a photo, a quantity, tags and notes.
- Room, then location (a shelf, closet or corner), then bin. Room and location are optional.
- Mark items In storage, In use or Gone.
- Swipe to move something to another bin.
Find it in a second.
Search "lights" and you'll see every string of lights, which bin it's in and where that bin lives.
- Searches names, tags, notes and the words read from photos.
- Narrow it to one room or one tag.
- Tap a result to jump straight to its bin.
QR labels you print at home.
Every label shows the bin's name, where it lives and the first few things inside. Scan it with Box Retriever to open the bin. Scan it with any other phone camera to see the list as of the day you printed it.
- Full, half or quarter page on plain paper.
- Avery 5163 (2 × 4 in) and 5160 address labels.
- Print straight from your phone, or save a PDF.
Snap a photo. It fills in the list.
Take a photo of what's going into the bin and Box Retriever suggests the items and the words printed on them. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, it reads whole shelves of titles. Your photos are never uploaded to us or stored by anyone.
