Less software. More certainty.
A moving checklist that understands uncertainty.
Move Planner turns a moving date, date confidence and household needs into a focused timeline. It is a complete app in its own right, not a limited gateway to PackQR.

Every curated action explains why its timing matters and what to hold back while a date is uncertain.

Useful without nagging
See what is coming up before the app has to interrupt you.
The current development build combines low-noise reminders with glanceable system surfaces. Everything remains optional and local to the device.
One meaningful badge
The app icon normally shows 1 only when an unseen actionable reminder is waiting. It does not display the total unfinished task count.
Clears when Today is viewedOne smart daily briefing
Same-day task reminders can be consolidated into one calm briefing. Weekly summaries are silent by default.
No notification serverQuick routes
Use notification actions or app-icon shortcuts to open Today, add a task, view the full Plan or jump to Move Day.
Fewer taps under pressureAutomatic cleanup
Archiving or resetting a plan removes Planner reminders, delivered notifications, badges and any active Move Day Live Activity.
Nothing keeps nagging after the moveReview status: badges, widgets, quick actions and the Live Activity are included in the release candidate and remain subject to final App Store availability.
Works alone. Works better together.
A complete free planner—with optional packing context.
The apps have separate jobs. Move Planner decides what to do and when. PackQR records, labels, scans and finds physical boxes.

The app does not need a hosted household profile. Plans, completions, notes, preferences and reminders stay local unless you choose to export them.

Questions
What to know before launch.
Will Move Planner be free?
Yes. Move Planner is a free, ad-free companion app for iPhone and iPad, with no subscription.
Do I need to buy PackQR?
No. Move Planner is designed as a complete standalone application. PackQR is optional and adds contextual packing progress when installed.
What happens when my move date changes?
Incomplete generated tasks are recalculated within their safe windows. Completed work remains complete, and the app provides a compact summary of what moved.
Does the app need internet access?
Core plan creation, task management, rescheduling and local reminders are designed to work offline. The website provides help, legal information and optional future content updates.
Is it built for UK moves?
The first release is UK-first, with date confidence and task packs designed around common buyer, seller, renter, student and downsizer scenarios.
How do reminders avoid becoming nagging?
Badges normally show only one unseen actionable update, same-day reminders can be consolidated, weekly briefings are silent by default, and everything can be disabled independently.
Do the widgets or Live Activity upload my plan?
No hosted Planner account is required. The development design uses local app and extension data on the device. The Move Day Live Activity starts only when you choose.
When can I download it?
Move Planner is completing App Store review and may not yet be available in your region. This page will be updated when the listing is live.
