Can I use SmartBox offline?

How secure is my data?

No third-party servers are involved - your photos and inventory information remain completely private and under your control, protected by Apple's end-to-end encryption.

What devices does SmartBox support?
▼
SmartBox Organizer is currently available for iOS devices running iOS 17.6 or later. The app works on iPhone and iPad, with automatic iCloud sync keeping your inventory up to date across all your devices.
How do QR codes work in SmartBox?
▼
You can create a QR code for any box that contains all the box information (name, number, and items). When you scan your own box's QR code, the app opens directly showing that box. If someone without the app scans it, they'll see the box contents on a simple web page. The smart part? All the box information is stored inside the QR code itself - nothing is sent to our servers, keeping your data private.
Are QR codes public? Who can see my box contents?
▼
Yes, QR codes are public - anyone who scans the QR code can see what's in that box. This is great for sharing with family members, movers, or helpers. However, your data stays private because the information is encoded directly in the QR code, not stored on any server. Only share QR codes with people you trust to see that box's contents.
Can I print my box contents?
▼
Absolutely! You can print the contents of any box to create physical labels or reference sheets. This is perfect for attaching to boxes, keeping paper records, or sharing with people who prefer physical lists. Simply generate a QR code and print the web page that shows your box contents.
Can I share my inventory with family members?
▼
Yes! Use QR codes to share specific boxes with family members or helpers. When they scan the code, they'll see exactly what's in that box. If they have the app, it opens directly in SmartBox. If they don't have the app, they can view the contents on a web page. You can share as many or as few boxes as you want.
How do I get started with SmartBox Organizer?
▼
Getting started is simple! Download the app from the App Store and start immediately - no account creation needed. Number your storage boxes, add their contents to the app, and start searching. Perfect for organizing seasonal clothes, decorations, tools, hobby supplies, or moving boxes.
