Velvetto Glide

Velvetto Glide answers the one question that decides every move: will this piece actually get through? Instead of guessing on the day, you check each item of furniture against the real passages in your home — the doorway, the turn in the hallway, the stairwell and the lift — and find out before anything is lifted. You start by measuring your own passages once, in the setup screen. Those measurements stay as the baseline for everything that follows, so you never have to re-enter them. From then on, checking a piece takes a moment: type in its width, height and depth, choose the passage it has to cross, and say which room it belongs to. The verdict appears live as you type: pass, tight or blocked. Alongside it you get the clearance in each direction, so you can see exactly where the margin is generous and where it comes down to the last few millimetres. And because a wardrobe or a sofa rarely travels flat on, Velvetto Glide also works out the tilted diagonal and tells you the tilt angle the piece needs to clear the opening — the difference between an impossible item and one that simply has to go through at an angle. Every item you save joins a move list. The list is grouped by room, with tallies for each one, so you can read your move the way you will actually carry it out: this room's pieces, then the next. The total volume is kept as you go, which is the figure you need when you are sizing a van or deciding what to do in one trip. The app also highlights the passage that is blocking the most pieces, and that single line is often the most useful thing on the screen — it tells you whether your problem is the front door, the bend in the corridor or the lift, and where it is worth planning an alternative. The approach suits anyone with something large to shift. Plan a whole flat move room by room. Check a second-hand find before you agree to collect it. Work out whether a new sofa can reach the living room at all, rather than discovering it on the landing. Decide which few pieces genuinely need dismantling instead of taking apart everything out of caution. Velvetto Glide keeps the numbers in one place and turns them into a straight answer. Measure once, check each piece in seconds, and arrive at moving day with a list you can trust rather than a hopeful estimate.
