Moving Apps: Tech Tools to Streamline Your Move

If you prefer digital tools to sticky notes and spreadsheets, moving apps can be a game changer for keeping your move organized and stress-free. These apps help with inventory, layout planning, and even easing children's transition. Here are four highly recommended apps that make every step smoother.

1. Sortly – Visual Inventory That Simplifies Packing

Sortly offers an intuitive way to inventory your home. Snap photos, assign each box or item to a category, and track exact locations, no need for manual logs . Use Sortly to:

• • Create customized folders for rooms or storage units
  • Add QR/barcode labels and scan them with your phone
  • Generate condition reports, tags, and exportable lists

A free 14-day trial and tiered plans let you scale based on your needs. Ideal for combining with Verity’s packing supplies or full-service packing for keeping track of what's inside each labeled box.

2. MagicPlan – Pre-Plan Layouts & Furniture Placement

MagicPlan uses AR technology to generate accurate 2D and 3D floor plans from your smartphone camera. For moving, this means you can:

• • Measure rooms and furniture before unloading
  • Plan placement for sofas, beds, and large items
  • Avoid guesswork that leads to heavy lifting and delays

Use this alongside our packing services and storage solutions to ensure everything fits where you want it—to simplify your unpacking process.

3. The Big Moving Adventure – Easing Kids' Move Experience

For households with kids aged 2–5, The Big Moving Adventure by Sesame Workshop is an engaging, emotional support tool. Kids can:

• • Create a Muppet buddy to move with
  • Explore packing, saying goodbye, and settling in
  • Express feelings through activity and journaling

As a free app, it complements Verity’s child-focused moving insights, helping ease transitions without extra cost.

4. Productivity Helpers (Not Moving Services)

These general productivity apps pair well with your move:

• • Todoist: Track tasks like utilities setup, address change, and cleaning. It's free for basic use, with paid upgrades.
  • Trello: Use visual boards for packing room-by-room, labeling, and coordinating helpers.

These tools are especially useful when combined with Verity’s services like estate cleanouts, senior moves, or packing supplies to keep tasks aligned with physical progress.

How to Use Moving Apps Effectively

Sync the Tech and the Physical

• • Inventory & label: Use Sortly first for everything you pack, matching labels for easy retrieval.
  • Plan placement: Measure your new space in MagicPlan before unloading.
  • Organize tasks: Assign duties and deadlines using Todoist or Trello, all visible to your team.

Combine these apps with Verity’s packing services and storage solutions to create a smoother, stress-free move.

Final Thoughts

When moving apps are integrated with professional moving help, you get the best of both worlds: efficiency and expertise. Track your belongings with Sortly, plan furniture placement in MagicPlan, support your child emotionally with Sesame’s app, and manage your tasks with productivity tools.
