MoveDay is a structured relocation planner designed around the methodology used by professional moving consultants: timeline segmentation, inventory control, and progress visibility. THE FRAMEWORK 1. Timeline Segmentation — Five non-overlapping stages (8W, 4W, 1W, Moving Day, After Move) bind every task to the correct lead time, eliminating "last-minute scramble" failure modes. 2. Inventory Control — A two-level Room → Box hierarchy maps every item to a numbered container with status (empty, packing, sealed) and free-form contents. 3. Progress Visibility — Two independent KPIs (Task Completion %, Packing Progress %) prevent false confidence from completing only one dimension. KEY CAPABILITIES • 25 evidence-based preset tasks covering utilities, mail forwarding, school transfers, packing supplies, fragile handling, day-of logistics, and post-move setup. • Custom task support with stage assignment. • Bulk room presets (Kitchen, Living Room, Bedroom, Bathroom, Office, Storage) plus user-defined rooms. • Per-box content notes searchable from any context. • Reset / re-plan workflow with confirmation safeguards. ENGINEERING • Built on SwiftUI + SwiftData, iOS 17+ native. • 100% local persistence (SQLite via SwiftData) — no servers, no accounts, no telemetry. • Light / Dark mode, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver accessibility considered. DATA OWNERSHIP Your data lives only on your device. There is no cloud sync, no analytics SDK, no third-party tracker. Delete the app and the data goes with it. For movers, expats, students, and families who treat relocation as a project — and want a tool that respects that.
