PackQR 1.2 now live
Version 1.2 is now available on the App Store. The release adds a complete appearance-aware Dark Mode with refined action hierarchy, readable sheets, fields and scanning controls.
QR-label output now supports A4 and US Letter in 1-up, 2-up, 4-up and four-copy layouts, plus native 4 × 6-inch output for compatible label printers. Private contents lists can be printed on A4 or US Letter. Labels continue to show box number, room and handling flags only—never item contents.
The release also improves contextual Move Planner installation detection and clarifies that private packing-summary sharing is optional, off by default and readable only on-device when the companion app is installed.

PackQR 1.1 phased rollout
Version 1.1 added encrypted-backup improvements, Quick Photos, safer Unassigned Contents handling and an off-by-default private on-device summary for the separate Move Planner app.
Move Planner integration was included in preparation for the companion app’s App Store release.
Enabling sharing prepares an aggregate summary on the device. Item names, notes, photographs, QR information and backup contents are not shared, and nothing happens until Move Planner is installed.
