For anyone moving house

Say it. Pack it. Find it.

Pack ’n Say is an iPhone app that remembers what’s in every box. Point your camera at something, say what it is, and it’s saved with a photo. No lists, no typing, no plan needed.

Why it’s different

Packing that keeps up with you

Most box apps want you to stop and type. With Pack ’n Say you just point, say what it is, and carry on packing.

No typing, ever

Tap the button or just say “take” to snap a photo, then describe the item in your own words. Nothing to type, nothing to confirm.

Pack in any order

No plan needed. Books in with the bath towels? Fine. Every item is logged as it goes in, so the mess doesn’t matter.

Find anything later

Type “passport” or “phone charger” and see which box it’s in, with the photo you took.

Printed box labels

Print QR labels for your boxes. Point the camera at a label to start adding things to that box, and again when you’re done. Come back and add more whenever you like.

Pack together

Friends and family can help pack the same move on their own iPhones, and everything ends up in one place.

An AI helper, if you want one

An optional extra that fixes misheard words and writes a short summary of each box. It’s off unless you turn it on.

Why I made it

“I have ADHD, and every packing system I found meant logging things one by one and writing lists on boxes. That was never going to happen, so I put off packing altogether. Then I built my own app: pack in any order, say what’s going in, never write a thing down. It took the worry away, and I threw myself into it. It was life changing.”

Andy, who made Pack ’n Say

A real move

From this, to this

These are photos from the move Pack ’n Say was built for. Every one of those boxes was packed and logged without writing a single thing down.

A loft piled high with loose boxes, bags, packaging and clutter under the rafters.

The short version

Three steps. That’s it.

Say it

Point your camera at an item, say “take”, then say what it is: “Grandma’s blue teapot.”

Pack it

Pop it in the box and carry on with the next thing. The photo and your words are saved to that box.

Find it

Weeks later, search for “teapot” and Pack ’n Say tells you it’s in box 7, in the kitchen.

Private by design

Your stuff stays on your phone

Photos, captions and boxes are kept on your iPhone. Your voice is turned into text on the phone itself, and recordings are deleted straight away.
