Boxxy App (Apartment Keys) #

You need the Boxxy app to enter the apartment complex and to access shared spaces such as the recycling room, laundry facilities, and other communal spaces. You will not receive a physical key to enter the complex or communal spaces. (You will, however, have a physical key for your individual apartment.)

Please download the app and activate your account before you arrive in Stockholm so that you can access the complex. Your keys will appear in your account a few days before you arrive.

Bluetooth and location services must be enabled to use Boxxy to unlock doors. If your phone runs out of power, there is a free charging station in the complex at the the entrance for Nekvägen 41 (see photo).

Activating Your Account #

Download Boxxy for iPhone or Android. Open the app and follow these steps:

1. Click Logga in (Sign in). Enter your phone number (mobilnummer) and password (lösenord), then click Fortsätt (continue). Your password was sent to you via email on August 21. Please note that your account is linked to the mobile number you provided on your registration form. If you want to change this number, email the Program Coordinator immediately at [email protected] to request a new account with your new phone number.
2. Click on the gear icon in the top right to access your settings (Inställningar). Click Språk (language) and select English.
3. Click on the gear icon in the top right to access your settings again. Click “Password” and enter a new password of your choosing.

Open a Door #

Click on “Keys” on the bottom toolbar and scroll to select a door, or click the key icon in the upper left corner (#7 in the diagram above) to easily identify which doors are nearby. Click “Open” to open your selected door.

Note that bluetooth and location services must be enabled for Boxxy to locate and unlock doors.

Make a Booking #

Click on “Bookings” on the bottom toolbar. Scroll to the room you want to book and click “Book your access.” After selecting a room, click on your preferred date, select a time slot, and confirm that you want to make the booking. You can see your active bookings by clicking on “Keys” in the bottom toolbar and scrolling down to the room you booked. Your key will be activated when the booking begins.

Change Your Phone Number #

Your account is linked to the phone number you provided during registration. If you change your phone number, email the Program Coordinator immediately at [email protected] to request a new account with your new phone number.

Share Door Access Temporarily #

Click on “Keys” on the bottom toolbar and scroll to select a door. Click on the share icon in the upper right. In the pop-up box, enter the phone number of the person you want to share access with, then select the duration of access (one, three, or 24 hours).

Alternatively, for some doors, you can create a one-time code to enter the door once without the Boxxy app. If this option is available for your selected door, there will be a link to “Create a one-time code” on the bottom of the “Share key” pop-up box.

If you have a visitor staying in your apartment for more than 24 hours, you can share a “Family Key” with them. Click on the gear icon in the top right to access Settings, then click “Family Keys.” Scroll to the door you want to share and click “Share key,” then enter your visitor’s phone number to invite them to share access in Boxxy. Once the visit ends, make sure to remove the Family Key in the Boxxy app to revoke the door access.

Please be aware that you are responsible for the conduct of all guests (see Apartment Care and Conduct).
