Help

The same text as in the app under Settings → Help. Every topic explains what it is and tells you where to find it in the app.

Basics

Boxes

Every box has a number, a room and a status.

Rooms

Rooms sort boxes, furniture and defects by origin or destination.

Items

This is where you record what is in a box.

Capture faster

Photo recognition & suggestions

Photograph the contents instead of typing them in.

Scan text & labels

Read labels with the camera.

Box title from the contents

Homeshift suggests a short title based on the items you recorded.

Siri, Spotlight and Lock Screen

Ask questions and pack without opening the app.

Organize

Tasks

Your tasks in three columns: Backlog, Active and Done.

Furniture

Large pieces and what should happen to them.

Storage

For the cellar, attic and storage unit: everything that does not move with you.

Defect report

Document damage and hand it over as a PDF.

Handover record

Meter readings, keys, defects and a signature, as a PDF.

Printing & exporting

Home inventory & next move

What is in storage, what it is worth and how you carry it into your next move.

Print box labels

QR stickers that open the box in the app.

Bought QR stickers

The stickers are already on the boxes. The box is created in the app when you scan one.

Export

PDF manifest, CSV spreadsheet or JSON archive.

Data & privacy

Where is my data?

Your data is on this device. It needs no sign-in and no server.

Private iCloud backup

A copy in your own iCloud account.

Homeshift Cloud

The same move on several devices, together with helpers.

Purchases & unlocks

The three modules

Pay once, unlocked for good.

What stays free

The limits only apply to new entries. Nothing is lost.

Cloud subscription

The cloud is the only part of Homeshift with running costs, because it needs a server.
