TraceNook Free, Pro and Max: what each plan includes

Free starts at 50 items and can grow to 100 with reward tasks. Choose a plan based on whether that allowance is enough and whether your family needs the same records on their phones. Free covers your own record, Pro removes the item limit, and Max lets you create and run a family space. Pro and Max are one-time purchases, with no subscription and nothing that renews. There is no account on any plan, and your records stay on your own phone.

Free includes labels, computer access and backup

Free starts with 50 item records in your personal space, with up to 100 available through reward tasks. QR labels for your boxes, barcode scanning, photos, computer access for bulk entry and label printing, and encrypted personal backup and restore are all included. Turn on reminders and allow notifications to receive an expiry and low-stock summary at a time you choose, at most once a day when needed. Free limits new item records to your current allowance; creating or running a family space requires Max.

The allowance counts saved item records, not units. Five cans of tomatoes saved as one item are one item. From version 1.0.8, each item holds one date, so cans with a different date go in a separate record, and two separately saved records count as two, even if they have the same name. At your current limit you can’t add a new item, but you can still view, edit or delete existing items, change their quantities, and back up or restore your personal space.

Earn up to 50 extra slots on Free

Open Rewards to see your tasks. The five starter tasks—add your first item, add an item photo, add a spot photo, search and open a result, and create a QR label—each add one slot. The growth tasks add two slots for 20 items, two for 10 item photos, three for using three different spots, and three for adding quantity or expiry information to three items. Built-in preset photos do not count as your own photos.

Complete any three starter tasks to unlock the Starter Chest, then open it for five more slots. The Grand Chest adds ten when opened; it unlocks after any three growth tasks, at least three achievements, and the 20-item achievement. These tasks and both chests together add 30 slots. The Enable Google Drive automatic backup task adds 20 more once the first automatic backup completes, bringing Free to 100. Leveling up alone does not add slots.

Earned slots do not expire. Reward progress stays on this phone and is included in personal backups; it does not sync with family members or travel in family backups. Export a personal backup before changing phones or reinstalling. Family-space items do not use your personal allowance.

Choose Pro when you want no item limit

Pro is everything in Free with no item limit. Choose it when the free allowance—50 items, or up to 100 with tasks—is not enough for your own records and you do not need to create a family space.

Choose Max for the family owner’s phone

Max is everything in Pro plus the family owner’s tools: create one family space, turn on family sync and manage family devices, and back up and restore the family space. Only the owner’s phone needs Max; it is what keeps family sync running for everyone else.

Everyone you invite joins and syncs on Free or Pro, so only one phone in the house needs to buy Max. No account is needed: changes sync directly on the same Wi-Fi and through our end-to-end encrypted relay when the phones are apart, and photos follow on the same Wi-Fi. The family setup guide explains which phone creates the space and how the others join.

When the owner changes phones and restores the family space on the new one, restore the Max purchase on the new phone too. Accepting an invitation doesn’t need Max.
