BoxScan

BoxScan is a mobile + web app that helps people digitize and organize nostalgia clutter—photos, letters, ticket stubs, postcards, and random keepsakes—without needing museum-level effort. Users snap items with their phone, and the app auto-crops, enhances, and extracts text (handwriting included when possible). It then suggests a simple structure: person, place, year range, and “memory tags” (e.g., graduation, first job, trip). The core value is retrieval: a fast search bar that finds “that letter from 2009” or “all items from Grandma’s house.” It also generates lightweight “Archive Packs” you can share with family members as read-only links, avoiding the chaos of group chats and shared drives. This is an AI + traditional app: AI helps with capture, OCR, and tagging, but the product is built around practical organization and long-term access.
