About
Hardtack is the calm, reliable, offline-first home inventory app. Catalog your household reserves (water, food, first-aid, tools, energy, documents) and see at a glance how many days of self-sufficiency your home really has.
Pay once. Own forever. No account, no cloud, no ads, no usage telemetry. Your data stays on your device.
WHAT HARDTACK DOES
• Home inventory, your way
Add items with quantities, units, unit costs and notes. Organize by category and by location: pantry, garage, cellar, vehicle, kit bags and your own custom places.
• Add by barcode
Scan a product and its details fill in automatically: name, brand, nutrition values, net weight and the product image once it is recognised online. Works with UPC and EAN codes. Once a product is identified, its name and nutrition values stay available offline on your device. Manual entry remains available as a fallback.
• Expiry date tracking
One date per item. Local notifications warn you 7 days then 1 day before anything expires, and a removal eats into what expires soonest first. Nothing slips through forgotten.
• Days of self-sufficiency
A clear dashboard computes your days of water, calories and key reserves from your household composition. Add household members and their needs for a personalized estimate.
• Ready-made kits, and kits of your own
Start from proven checklists: 72-hour bag, vehicle kit, blackout kit, earthquake kit, basic first-aid, infant and pet kits, with visual completion progress. Hide the ones that do not apply, rename, reorder, edit line by line, duplicate, or build your own.
• Smart rotation & restocking
A first-in-first-out view surfaces what to use next. Items below your minimum threshold flow into an automatic shopping list you can export.
• Stock removal & spending tracking
Take a quantity out in one gesture, without deleting the item, or scan your products as you go. Keep an eye on what your reserves cost, with a breakdown by category.
• Privacy controls built in
Optional app lock (Face ID / Touch ID / PIN), item-name obfuscation and a decoy view keep your inventory private on a shared or lost device.
• Local sharing, no cloud
Share an inventory snapshot with family as an encrypted QR code, scanned on the other device, imported locally. No server in the middle.
• Export and back up
Export to CSV or JSON and save a local backup through the native share sheet to Files, Drive or iCloud Drive. Your data, in your hands.
BUILT TO LAST
Hardtack is a one-time purchase, not a subscription treadmill. A free tier lets you start, with your whole household, expiry reminders and an overall self-sufficiency score. The full version lifts the item and location caps, and unlocks the detailed self-sufficiency breakdown (water, calories, medication), every kit template and custom kits, all themes, privacy controls, scan-out mode, export and local sharing, all for a single one-time purchase.
Localized in English, French, German and Spanish.
