The Packed Rabbit
When should I start packing?
Type your moving date and set your rooms. You get the day to start, the room for each packing day and how many boxes.

Your packing days
The app numbers each box as you pack it and keeps a photo of what's inside, so the schedule turns into a list you can search later. No account, and it works with no signal.
How this works
Your rooms give a box count, the same way as the boxes calculator. That count is divided by the boxes you pack on a packing day to get the number of packing days. Those days are counted back from the day before the move, on the days of the week you pack, with one spare day added for whatever runs over. The day before the move is kept for the last things.
Rooms go in order from least used to most used, so the home keeps working while you pack:
| 1. Garage and storage | Things you won't need before the move |
| 2. Office | Books and files, in small boxes |
| 3. Dining | Serving dishes, table linens, decor |
| 4. Living room | Books, decor, games. The TV goes last |
| 5. Bedrooms | Out-of-season clothes first. Keep a week's worth out |
| 6. Bathrooms | Spares first. Daily things go in the first-night box |
| 7. Kitchen | Rarely used things first. Keep a plate, cup and pan each |
Pack heavy things such as books, tins and tools in small boxes and light, bulky things in large ones, and keep every box light enough to lift without straining. Keep medicine, documents, chargers and keys with you, not in a box.
Every number here is an estimate. Box counts per room, the 6-a-day starting pace, the spare day and the room order are our own suggestions, not a published standard. If you are short on time, adding a packing day a week usually helps more than packing more boxes a day.
