⚖️ BoxQR vs Google Keep

Google Keep is for notes.
BoxQR is for boxes.

People use Google Keep to track what's in their storage boxes — and it works, until you have 40 notes and can't find anything. BoxQR was built specifically for this problem: scan a box, search your whole home, never open the wrong one again.

Notes fall apart when storage gets serious

📝

Notes don't attach to boxes

Your "Garage Box 3" note lives in Keep. Your actual box sits in the garage. There's no connection between them.

🔍

Search finds words, not boxes

Keep searches your note text — but it can't tell you which physical box an item is in, or where that box is located.

🖨️

No labels to print

Keep can't generate a QR code or printable label for your boxes. You're still writing on tape with a Sharpie.

👨‍👩‍👧

Sharing is clunky

Sharing a Keep note with your spouse doesn't give them a way to scan the box in the garage or see what's inside it.

Keep is a fantastic notes app. But when you're standing in front of 20 boxes in the garage trying to find a drill bit, you don't need a note — you need to scan the box.
