Is the tent in the garage, the attic, or the cabin? And which box did it end up in?
— everyone, standing in front of a wall of unlabeled boxes
The box you can't remember
Storage shouldn't be a guessing game.
Most of what we own spends its life in a box we never opened again — in the garage, the attic, a cabin, or a storage unit across town. When you finally need something, you're opening box after box, hoping you guessed right.
Item Buddy remembers for you. Photograph what's inside, and it keeps a calm, searchable record of everything you own and exactly where it lives.
How it works
Three steps. That's the whole thing.
From a pile of mystery boxes to a tidy, searchable inventory — without the tedious part.
STEP 01
Photograph the box
Open a box and take a few photos of what's inside. With Pro, there is no long contents list to type.
STEP 02
AI lists what's inside
With Pro, Item Buddy recognizes visible items in your photos and writes a contents list for you to review or add to.
STEP 03
Find it in seconds
Search by name or just remember the location. Item Buddy tells you which box it's in and where that box is stored.
More than a box list
A better memory for your home.
Keep the everyday details that save time now — and make a real difference later.
For the things worth keeping track of
Remember what you own.
Add photos, estimated values, purchase dates and receipts to the belongings you would not want to replace from memory.
Receipts, without the paper pile
Keep proof where you need it.
Scan receipts and connect them to the things they belong to, so your records are useful when an insurance claim calls for details.
Everything in its place
Made for real garages, not spreadsheets.
A handful of thoughtful tools that keep your whole home's worth of stuff calm and findable.
AI that identifies your things
With Pro, photograph what's inside a box and Item Buddy suggests the visible contents automatically — so there is far less to type.
Locations & boxes
Group things into boxes and file them under where they actually live — garage, attic, cabin — or track a single standalone item on its own.
Search that just finds it
Look up anything by name, description, or what the AI spotted — and know where it is in seconds.
Receipts & insurance reports
Scan receipts, link them to the right items, and create a clear PDF report with photos, values and purchase details when you need a record.
Share with family
Invite the people you share a home or storage space with, so everyone can find things and add to it together.
Across all your devices
Start in the garage on iPhone, review the details on iPad, and manage the same synced inventory from a roomy Mac sidebar.
Where it helps
For every box you'd rather not open twice.
Moving house
Pack, photograph, and know exactly which box everything ended up in — so unpacking on the other end is calm instead of chaotic.
Decluttering & seasonal storage
Holiday decorations, winter gear, kids' outgrown clothes — box them up for the season and find them again next year without digging.
Cabins, attics & storage units
Keep track of what's stashed somewhere you don't visit often, so you always know what's there before you make the trip.
Peace of mind for insurance
Keep photos, values, purchase dates and receipts together, then export an item, box or complete location as an insurance-ready PDF.
