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. Questions or feedback?

Relaunch it whenever you want from Settings. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-24 Water needs now follow the size of your animals. • An animal no longer counts as one flat figure. Three sizes, small, medium and large, estimate 0.25 L, 0.75 L or 1.5 L a day, and your days of autonomy follow. • The setup questionnaire counts your animals by size. A bird and a large dog no longer weigh the same on your reserve. • The size can be changed at any time in Settings, Household, and the figure in litres stays editable by hand. • The opening screens and the dashboard drop their jargon. • The Write to us draft opens on a blank space, followed by the technical block alone. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-18 No release notes. ## More apps by Aurore Troubat - [Cookfolio: Recipes & Planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cookfolio-recipes-and-planner/id6761372144) - [Bunkly](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bunkly/id6775972410) All apps by Aurore Troubat: https://appshunter.io/developer/1889179962 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
