ABOUT BOXOWL
BoxOwl started with
a lot of boxes.
And one familiar question: why is it so hard to remember where we put our things?
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
The boxes were labeled.
The contents were a mystery.
I've moved enough times to know how easily things disappear into boxes.
While helping with a move, I noticed something simple: labels like Kitchen and Living Room told us where boxes belonged, but not what was inside them. Finding one particular item could mean opening box after box.
That frustration sparked the idea for BoxOwl.
THE FAMILIAR QUESTION
“Where did I put that?”
I wanted an easier way to remember what we own and exactly where we put it—without making organization complicated.
A SIMPLER IDEA
Organization should be easy
to start.
A Sharpie and your phone.
That's the kind of simplicity BoxOwl was built around.
Give a box an identifier, tell BoxOwl what's inside, and put it away. QR labels are available if you want them, but you don't need special equipment to get started.
Technology should make life easier, not give us another complicated project.
THE VISION
What if finding your stuff
was as easy as asking?
Imagine asking, “Where are my Christmas lights?” and knowing exactly where to look.
“Where are my Christmas lights?”
Our vision is to make everyday belongings searchable—including through the voice assistants people already use.
Make the physical world searchable.
THE MISSION BEHIND BOXOWL
More than boxes.
Built with purpose.
I believe a good business should do more than solve a problem. It should also create opportunities to make a difference. Faith, family, and service are the values guiding BoxOwl.
PURPOSE IN PRACTICE
of BoxOwl's profits committed to
mission and service.
Our goal is to turn business growth into lasting, practical support for others—including long-term community service initiatives in Costa Rica.
As BoxOwl grows, we want its positive impact to grow with it.
A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER
A simple problem.
A bigger purpose.
Hi, I'm Andre. I enjoy taking everyday problems and finding simple, practical ways to solve them. BoxOwl grew out of a frustration I knew well, and a belief that technology should make life easier, not more complicated.
My hope is that BoxOwl helps people spend less time searching for things and more time enjoying what matters most.
It started with boxes.
But I hope it becomes much bigger than that.
THE BOXOWL WAY
Know what you have.
Know where it is.
ORGANIZE YOURSELF.
And help us do some good along the way.
