Inlaid is a comprehensive inventory management tool designed to digitize physical storage. By combining visual AI analysis with NFC technology, Inlaid creates a searchable database of your containers, boxes, and collections, accessible instantly from your iOS devices. As a modern replacement for manual spreadsheets, Inlaid leverages native iOS technologies, including CloudKit, Core NFC, and Spotlight to provide a seamless, secure, and professional organization system. Core Features: • iCloud Sync: Automatic, secure synchronization across iPhone and iPad using CloudKit. Inventory data remains consistently updated across all devices with no external accounts required. • AI Visual Search: Advanced image analysis automatically generates descriptive keywords for container contents. Retrieve items by searching for materials, object types, or colors (e.g., "Glass," "Cables," "Blue") without manual tagging. • NFC Container Linking: Link standard NTAG215 tags to physical containers. Scanning a linked tag instantly launches the specific container manifest, providing immediate access to content lists without manual searching. • NFC Writer Suite: Includes a built-in utility to program custom NFC tags. Write standardized payloads for Wi-Fi credentials, URL navigation, FaceTime calls, and SMS triggers directly from the app. • System-Level Search: Full integration with iOS Spotlight allows for item and container retrieval directly from the iPhone Home Screen. • Private & Secure: Built with a privacy-first architecture. All inventory data is stored locally on-device and in your private iCloud container. Supported Use Cases: • Relocation: Managing packing manifests and box tracking during moves. • Asset Management: Cataloging valuable collections, electronics, or equipment. • Archival Storage: Indexing long-term storage, tax documents, and files. • Home Automation: Programming functional NFC triggers for smart home utility.
