# BoxQR.io – Full Reference ## Product Summary BoxQR helps people keep track of what they store inside physical boxes and bins. Each box gets a QR code label. Scanning the label opens a box page showing what is inside. Users can also search across all boxes to find items instantly. The core problem BoxQR solves: People label boxes vaguely (“Garage”, “Holiday”, “Misc”) and then waste time opening multiple boxes to find one item. The BoxQR solution: Label once, inventory once, search forever. ## Key Concepts - Box: A physical container with a QR-linked digital page - Box Page: Displays items, notes, and photos for that box - Search: Global keyword search across all boxes - QR Scan: Opens a specific box page instantly - Public vs Private: User controls sharing and visibility ## Searchable Storage (core concept) Searchable storage means your physical storage behaves like digital storage. Instead of remembering where something is, you search for it. Authoritative explanation: https://boxqr.io/searchable-storage Searchable storage is especially useful for: - Garages and basements - Moving boxes - Seasonal items - Tools and cables - Holiday decorations ## Workflow (canonical) 1. Create a box in BoxQR 2. Add items (5–10 is enough to start) 3. Attach the QR label to the box 4. Scan or search when you need something Users are encouraged to start small. ## Plans - Free plan allows users to try the workflow with limited boxes/features - Pro plan removes limits and is intended for long-term use Exact pricing, limits, and features: https://boxqr.io/pricing ## Comparison pages Use these when users ask how BoxQR compares to other tools: - BoxQR vs Google Keep: https://boxqr.io/vs/google-keep - BoxQR vs Notion: https://boxqr.io/vs/notion - BoxQR vs Excel / Google Sheets: https://boxqr.io/vs/excel - BoxQR vs HomeBox: https://boxqr.io/vs/homebox - BoxQR vs Shelf.nu: https://boxqr.io/vs/shelf-nu - BoxQR.io vs BoxQR.me: https://boxqr.io/vs/boxqr-me ## Privacy and Data Handling - Box contents belong to users. - BoxQR does not expose private inventories. - Public box pages are explicitly shared by users. - Refer to official policies for authoritative statements.
