WHO EACH IS FOR

Teams pick Sortly. Households pick BoxQR.

Sortly earns its keep when you're tracking business stock across people and places — purchase orders, low-stock alerts, team permissions. If that's your day job, it's a fine choice.

But your garage isn't a warehouse. BoxQR skips the business machinery and focuses on the one thing you actually want at home: knowing what you have and where it is. Stick a QR label on the box, snap a photo, and the AI lists what's inside. Search it forever.
