Shedstock

Know what you've got before you buy it again. Renovations leak money through rebuying: the half-empty box of screws, the second multi-tool bought because the first one is somewhere, the wall anchors that were already in the van. Shedstock is a catalog of the materials and tools around your home, shared with the people you live with. It answers one question in seconds, even from the aisle of a hardware store: do I already have this, and where is it? SEARCH BY SIZE, NOT JUST BY NAME Type "70mm wood screw", "5x70", "M6" or "3 inch" and Shedstock reads the size. Exact matches come first, then near matches with the difference stated ("5×75, 5 mm longer"), each with its full location (Garage › Shelf 2 › Red toolbox) and how full the box is. On devices with Apple Intelligence, looser phrasing works too, on the device. When you have none, it says so plainly. CUSTOM CATEGORIES AND FILTERS Set up categories for your household and choose the details you want to record. Combine search with filters for location, stock level, and category. SCAN THE LABEL OR TYPE IT Point the camera at the box and Shedstock reads "5.0 × 70mm", "PZ2" and "zinc" into the right fields for you to check. Or type it: one screen, only the name required, and shorthand such as "5x70" or "M6x40" fills in the sizes as you go. Save and add another keeps the location and category, so a whole shelf goes in at once. IT KNOWS WHAT A SCREW IS Length, diameter, gauge, thread, head, drive, material and finish: the fields a fastener actually has, shown only for the categories that need them. Fill level is one tap (full, half, low, empty), because nobody counts 200 screws. TOOLS: WHERE THEY ARE, AND WHO HAS THEM Every tool has a status: at home, lent out (and to whom), in the van, in for repair, or lost. LOCATIONS THE WAY YOUR HOME IS LAID OUT Rooms, shelves, bins and vans, nested as deep as you like. Anything not yet put away lives in Unsorted, never nowhere. SHARED WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD Invite the people you live with by a link in Messages, with edit access or view only. Everyone works from the same catalog, and changes made offline merge when you reconnect. Keep more than one household (the house, a workshop, a parent's garage) and switch between them in one tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your catalog and photos stay on your devices and in the household owner's iCloud. There is no Shedstock server, and the developer cannot read any of it. It works offline in garages and basements, and syncs when you are back in signal. IPHONE AND IPAD A three-column layout on iPad, with keyboard shortcuts for fast entry. FREE AND PRO Free: one household of your own with up to 100 items, any number of households you are invited into, label scanning, photos, search and iCloud sync. Shedstock Pro is a single purchase, not a subscription. It lets you share any household you own, own as many households as you like, and add unlimited items. Only the owner needs Pro: the people you invite join free, and Family Sharing covers your family.
