ToteScan is gone. Your totes don't have to be a mystery again.
What happened
ToteScan was pulled from the App Store on April 21, 2026. No migration window, no export prompt for most users — the app that indexed your totes simply stopped being downloadable, and inventories that lived in it went with it. If you're here, you probably have a shelf of QR-labeled totes and no way to look inside them from your phone anymore.
The honest comparison
| ToteScan (as it was) | Snap & Store | |
|---|---|---|
| Contents list | You typed or captioned it | Film the tote — on-device AI writes the list |
| Labels | Printed packs shipped to you | Print from the app onto standard 2.5″ sticker sheets |
| Where data lived | Synced via their service | On your phone — no server to shut down |
| Account | Required | None |
Migrating your totes (an afternoon, not a weekend)
- Print a sheet of Snap & Store labels from the app.
- Open each tote once, film the contents for ten seconds (narrate the highlights), and stick the new label next to the old ToteScan one.
- Done. Every tote is searchable again — and this time the index lives on your phone, where it can't be discontinued out from under you.
Where ToteScan was better
Credit where due: ToteScan shipped physical label packs to your door, which was genuinely convenient, and its dedicated tote-first design had fans for a reason. If pre-printed label packs matter more to you than the inventory surviving, a label-pack product like Smart Labels may fit better — the typing is still yours, though.
More on the architecture point: why an inventory of everything you own shouldn't live on someone's server, and how the Snap & Store flow works.
