Private moving inventory

Some boxes are nobody else’s business.

A moving inventory can reveal valuables, documents, medications, collections and personal details about your home. PackQR keeps detailed contents off public QR labels and lets you protect selected boxes inside the app.

Private outside and inside.Detailed contents stay off the label. Sensitive Master boxes stay out of collaboration copies.

Private QR moving labels

The label identifies the box—not everything you own.

PackQR’s printed moving labels are designed to be useful without advertising the detailed contents. The box number, destination room and handling information can help movers; the item list, notes and photos remain in your local PackQR record.

That is a deliberate trade-off. A stranger scanning the physical label does not get a browser page containing your detailed household inventory.

Sensitive Boxes

Hand someone your phone without handing them every box record.

Mark a box Sensitive and PackQR conceals its custom name, item names and quantities, notes and photos until device-owner authentication succeeds.

The Home Sensitive boxes switch can re-lock protected boxes immediately while leaving ordinary PackQR functions available.

Uses your device authenticationFace ID, Touch ID or device passcode as available through iOS.

Redacted while lockedProtected names, quantities, notes and photos stay concealed in normal views and search.

Redacted standard exportsOrdinary contents-list PDF/CSV output keeps structural context but omits protected details and item rows.

Not a separate vaultThis is an access-control layer on top of iOS-protected local storage, not a claim of separate per-record cryptographic vaulting.

Private collaboration

Share the Kitchen without sending the Bedroom.

Before collaboration starts, the Master chooses the whole eligible project, selected rooms or selected boxes. Anything outside that scope is not transferred to the Contributor.

Sensitive Master boxes are excluded from every collaboration scope. The Contributor does not receive their names, contents or box-specific placeholders.

Privacy questions

What PackQR does—and does not—claim.

Does PackQR store my box inventory in its cloud?

The core PackQR inventory is local-first and does not require a PackQR-operated hosted inventory database or account.

Does Face ID mean every box is separately encrypted?

No. PackQR uses iOS device-owner authentication as an access-control gate for App Lock and Sensitive Boxes. It should not be described as a separate per-record encrypted vault.

Can a packing partner see a Sensitive Master box?

No. In PackQR 1.6, Sensitive Master boxes are excluded from collaboration baselines entirely.

Can someone scan my label with a normal camera and see the contents online?

PackQR’s label is not designed as a public web inventory. Detailed contents remain in the local PackQR record rather than being published behind the physical QR label.

What about backups?

Backups are portable copies and may contain private contents. PackQR offers the existing plain backup and an optional passphrase-protected encrypted backup. Treat exported backup files as sensitive data.
