Our Terms of Use & Privacy Policy: Apple Wallet only accepts a card signed with our certificate. The app therefore builds the card on your device and sends only checksums of the card's files, encrypted, to our server in Germany (HostEurope) – texts, barcodes and images never leave your device. Only as a fallback, for example on devices without Apple App Attest, is the card itself sent encrypted and deleted from the server straight after signing.

ThingPlace remembers where everything is — so you don't have to. Photograph a thing, drop it into a place, and find it again in seconds with search, Spotlight, or Siri. SNAP, SUGGEST, CONFIRM Take a photo of any item. On-device AI suggests a name, category, and quantity — you always review and confirm before anything is saved. No auto-commit, no surprises, and no photo ever leaves your device. (AI photo intake requires iOS 26 and a device with Apple Intelligence; on other devices the same flow works with a simple manual form.) A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING Build your own place tree: home → rooms → shelves, boxes, and drawers. Put an item in a place once, and ThingPlace remembers exactly where it lives. FIND IT ANYWHERE Search inside the app, swipe down for Spotlight, or just ask Siri: "Where is my drill?" Your stuff answers back. LEND WITHOUT LOSING Mark things as lent — to whom, and when they're due back — and get a reminder before you have to ask that awkward question. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. Photos and AI recognition are processed entirely on your device; your inventory syncs across your own devices with iCloud. FREE 20, LIFETIME PRO Catalog up to 20 items free, forever. A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited items — no subscriptions, ever. Family Sharing included.

The call
