See inside every box, without opening it.
You own it. You just cannot find it. Basic Bins turns your storage into an inventory you can search: photograph things as they go in and they name themselves, stick a label on the box, and months later ask your phone instead of digging.
Free for one location and 50 items. Premium $59.99 a year.

Extension ladderGreyson · 7dGarageCamp stoveGreyson · 7dStorage Unit 214 › Camping GearTap a location.
Point, shoot, it names itself.
Photograph what goes in the box. The name writes itself while you keep packing.
If it guesses wrong, fixing it is one tap, and nothing ever waits on you to finish a form. You catalog at the speed you can pack, not the speed you can type.
Camera naming is included on the free plan.
Sleeping…LanternNot everything lives in a box.
Locations hold boxes. Boxes hold items. The bike, the ladder, and the floor lamp live loose in the location, because a box was never going to hold them.
Move an item to another box, or move a whole box to another location. A note or a count goes on anything: six folding chairs, the drill that is missing its charger.
GarageKnow who has the camp stove.
Take something out and your name goes on it. Anyone in the household can see who has it and for how long, and putting it back clears it.
Tap an item, then take it out or put it back.

Stick a label on it, scan it later.
Every box gets a QR label. It prints on plain paper or sticker sheets from your own printer, so there is nothing to buy.
Scan it with the iPhone Camera and the whole box comes up. No opening, no digging, no pulling a tote down from a shelf to find out it is the wrong one.
Scanning this with the iPhone Camera opens Basic Bins straight to this box.
Every box lands in the right room.
Start a move and give each box the room it is going to. The room prints on its label, in capitals above the box name, so whoever carries it knows where it goes.
Mark each box packed, loaded and arrived as it goes, or set the scanner to Loaded and scan every label on the way onto the truck. The move card counts them, so you see what is still missing.
When the last box is in, finish the move and everything goes to the new place, contents and all.
Starting a move is part of Premium.

Storage Unit 214, then Camping Gear. The box, not just the fact it exists.
Search reads names and notes, and when nothing matches exactly it shows the closest thing. Your things turn up in iPhone search too.
