I'm starting to slowly pack boxes for an anticipated move this summer. Before packing, I will de-clutter and sell or donate whatever I can. But when I pack what remains into boxes, I'd like to be able to affix a barcode to the outside which I could scan with my iPhone which would then access a database on my Mac to tell me what is in that box.
For some things, like linens, this seems like a bit too much work, when simply opening the box would tell you quickly. But as I'm looking at my home office, I can see that I will have several boxes for this room alone that will have books, office items, cables, small electronics, etc. Having some way of knowing in detail what is in the box would help me find things quickly once moved.
Any suggestions for a solution to do this?
