Posted on January 26, 2024

Getting organized can be stressful, so we’ve got some ideas for you

In our fast-paced lives, it’s essential we manage those tasks on our to-do list efficiently. Thankfully, there's now an app for almost everything to keep you on track. High-tech moving and storage organization apps can significantly reduce stress in these areas, whether you're handling personal items at your Okanagan home or business products at work. Curious to learn more? Explore our top picks for apps that kickstart your journey to a more streamlined and stress-free space.


Digitally store your items with Stuffkeeper

Virtually keep track of everything! The Stuffkeeper app allows you to document your items in designated spaces so you know where they are with just a click of a button. Whether it be old high school photo albums, seasonal clothes, or serving platters that only come out on holidays, Stuffkeeper allows you to create your ‘rooms’ and digitally log items for retrieval later. Lending something to a friend? Set up that storage space and track it on the app! You can even take photos of the items to drill down on the item specifics if you need to. The free version lets you store up to 50 items, but if you pony up for the premium, your inventory can be unlimited.


Organize your self-storage activities with Todoist

Life gets busy, so getting your items ready for storage means, yes, getting organized! Voted the ‘Best To Do List App’ by the New York Times Wirecutter, Todoist is an app that helps you arrange your critical tasks into Today or Upcoming and allows you to track your progress. You can set up reminders and add in colour-coding to help your eyes make sense of it all. There is a free version, but the reasonably-priced paid edition comes with all the extra features you want in an organizational app.


Manage your items or inventory with Sortly

Do you have personal items you’d like to store or business products that need to be tracked? Create a full inventory visual with Sortly by smoothly importing your items into the app, updating their quantities and locations, and using the in-app scanner to set “low stock” alerts and other notifications. Auditing is a breeze on Sortly with the easy generation of reports so you can maintain control and monitor all activities related to your self-storage items and business.


Map out your storage space with MagicPlan

A local storage unit (or space in your home) is only useful if it handily fits all of your items! Get the Magicplan app and map out the space to ensure it’s the right size. Contractors are big fans of this app, but everyone will find it useful as you can develop 2D and 3D images of a space, add photos and notes, and share with other collaborators if you need more input. Whether you’re trying to figure out a storage space for gardening tools, old baby clothes, or a grand piano, get your hands on a trial version of Magicplan!
