Parcel App for macOS and IOS

Parcel App for macOS and IOS

Started using an app for tracking deliveries to my house.  During this Covid-19 time I have spent way too much money ordering stuff.  It seems that everyday I am receiving 2-3 packages.   Anything from ammo, food, office supplies, DHL, UPS, FedEx, Amazon, etc.

I found an app named Parcel from the AppStore.  Here is their website.

I am running the macOS version as well as the iPhone version.

They synchronize via iCloud.

What I did was set a rule that looks for emails from shipment-tracking@amazon.com and have it forward to my parcel email address provided by them.  The new version as of this writing is the ability to log into your Amazon account so that the app can display the actual contents of the order.

Here you can see a shipment with its history.  This is automatically updated by Parcel.
