Never Lose Track of Your Packages Again
We all do it. You order something online, get a tracking number, and then... it disappears into the ether. You forget which carrier it's with, you lose the email, and suddenly you're left staring at your doorstep wondering where that highly anticipated delivery might be.
This is a surprisingly common daily frustration for millions of us. In our increasingly online shopping world, keeping tabs on multiple incoming shipments can feel like a full-time job. But what if there was a simple, elegant solution right on your iPhone?
Enter Deliveries by Junecloud. It's an iPhone app that tackles this exact problem with remarkable simplicity and effectiveness.

How to Start Using Deliveries
Getting started with Deliveries is blessedly straightforward. It’s designed for immediate utility, so you can be tracking packages within minutes of installation.
- Download the App: Search for "Deliveries" by Junecloud in the App Store and install it on your iPhone.
- Add a Tracking Number: Tap the '+' button. You can manually enter a tracking number, or even better, paste it directly from your clipboard. Deliveries will attempt to detect the carrier automatically.
- Let it Work its Magic: Once added, Deliveries will periodically check the status of your shipment and update you. You can also manually refresh any time.
- Enable Notifications: Go into the app’s settings and ensure notifications are enabled for timely alerts about your package's journey.
- (Optional) Set Up Widgets: Long-press on your Home Screen, tap the '+' icon, and add the Deliveries widget for a quick overview of what's arriving soon.
Tips and Tricks for Power Users
While Deliveries is simple to use, a few tips can enhance your experience even further, especially if you're a frequent online shopper.
Add Packages via URL Scheme: If you're on a Mac or iPad and have a tracking page open in Safari, you can use the URL scheme `deliveries://track/` followed by the tracking number to add it directly. This is a small but useful power-user feature.
Use Alias Names: For important or frequently ordered items, consider giving your shipments custom, memorable alias names within the app (e.g., "Mom's Birthday Gift" instead of just a tracking number). This makes your list much easier to scan.
Customize Notification Settings: Dive into the app's settings to fine-tune which status updates trigger a notification. You might only want to be alerted when a package is out for delivery or has been delivered.
Utilize the Search Function: As your list of active and past deliveries grows, the search bar at the top becomes invaluable for quickly finding a specific shipment.
Pro Tip
Leverage the 'Copy All Tracking Numbers' Feature: If you're in the habit of copying tracking numbers as you receive them, but haven't had time to add them to Deliveries, the app has a clever feature. When you open Deliveries next, it will often detect a tracking number on your clipboard and prompt you to add it. Even better, if you have multiple tracking numbers in your clipboard history (on supporting iOS versions), you can often just open Deliveries and it will list them, allowing you to add them all in bulk with a few taps.
Final Verdict
In a world cluttered with apps promising to do everything, Deliveries by Junecloud stands out as a beacon of focused utility. It elegantly solves a common, albeit minor, daily annoyance in a way that feels almost effortless.
The simple act of knowing exactly where your packages are, without having to hunt for information, brings a surprising amount of peace of mind. For anyone who shops online even occasionally, Deliveries isn't just a nice-to-have; it's an essential tool that streamlines a part of modern life, making it just a little bit less chaotic. It's a prime example of why you should embrace the power of well-made iPhone apps.
