Who operates this website
PackQR is an independent UK software project operated by Ross Williams. Privacy questions can be sent to support@packqr.app.
Cookies and analytics
This static website does not currently set advertising cookies or use third-party analytics scripts. PackQR does not sell website visitor data.
Hosting and security logs
The website hosting provider may create standard server logs when pages or files are requested. These can include an IP address, browser information, requested address, time and basic security information. Such logs are used by the hosting provider and site operator for delivery, reliability, abuse prevention and troubleshooting.
Emails and support enquiries
When you email PackQR, the message, contact details and any information you choose to include are received through the email provider. Correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably needed to answer the enquiry, understand recurring issues, maintain a support record and meet legal obligations. Avoid sending private household contents unless they are necessary and you are comfortable sharing them.
Downloads
The website offers PNG and ZIP downloads. PackQR does not require an account or email address to download these files. Your browser and hosting provider may still record the ordinary request in technical logs.
Third-party links
Articles may refer to external websites or services. Those organisations control their own data practices. Review their privacy information before submitting personal information or creating an account.
Local-first app storage
PackQR stores boxes, items, notes and photos locally on the user’s iPhone or iPad. The core workflow does not require a PackQR account, hosted PackQR box database or automatic cross-device sync.
Manual backups
PackQR creates backup files only when the user chooses to export them. A backup may contain box contents, notes, photographs, labels and metadata, so it should be stored carefully and removed when no longer needed. A compatible plain format remains available; an optional encrypted format can protect the exported package with a user-supplied backup code. Encryption and decryption happen locally using Apple platform cryptography. PackQR cannot recover a forgotten code. The destination selected by the user, such as Files or a cloud-storage provider, has its own privacy terms.
Optional Move Planner connection
PackQR 1.2 includes optional on-device integration with the separate Move Planner app. The feature is disabled by default. PackQR can check whether Move Planner is detected on the device; detection does not enable sharing. When sharing is enabled, PackQR prepares a limited aggregate packing summary in an Apple App Group on the same device. The summary may include box totals, unpacking totals, Open First totals, room identifiers and names, aggregate room counts, the latest successful backup date and the time the summary was updated.
Move Planner must be installed to read the summary. PackQR does not transmit the summary to PackQR servers or third parties.
Item names, item details, notes, photographs, QR information, searches and backup contents are never included in the shared summary. Disabling sharing removes the summary from the shared on-device container.
QR labels
PackQR labels show moving-day information such as box number, destination room, handling flags and an opaque QR code. They do not print readable box contents, item names, notes or photographs on the label.
