Own your stuff — every thing, every place, every warranty — in one app that talks to my agents.
Why I built it
A house accumulates hundreds of small facts: where the spare filters are, when the boiler was serviced, which drawer the spare keys ended up in. All of it lived in my head, and my head is not a database.
The problem
Household inventory is the classic thing everyone needs and nobody maintains, because every tool for it is either a spreadsheet that goes stale within a week or a barcode app that wants a subscription to store the result.
What I was using before
A spreadsheet, on and off for years. It failed the same way every time: adding something was tedious enough that you stopped doing it, and an inventory you have not updated is worse than none, because you trust it.
What it does
- Items with a home — rooms and containers, so where is it has an answer
- Warranties with expiry dates, so a claim is not discovered after it lapses
- Maintenance schedules for the things in the house that need them
- Search and a location view, because the point is finding it in ten seconds
- It talks to my agents, so the inventory can be queried rather than browsed
Where it is now
In development, and being tested as it is built — a working installable app with items, locations, labels and warranties. Not yet something I would hand to someone else.
Who it might interest
Anyone who has ever bought a second drill because they could not find the first one. It is the clearest example of the pattern I keep repeating: a small tool, built once, that removes a recurring annoyance permanently.
