Where Is It
Read full descriptionHide full description
Find anything in your home — a photo-first inventory organized by room. **THE PROBLEM** Where did you put the spare charger? The good scissors? That box of holiday lights? Every household has hundreds of small things, and remembering where each one lives is the kind of friction that nobody ever solves — until you're tearing apart drawers. **WHY YOUR NOTES APP ISN'T ENOUGH** Drop household items into the same notes app where work ideas, shopping lists, and meeting prep already live, and they get buried — filtering them out becomes its own search problem. Notes apps are built around text too, not photos, but you remember what a thing looks like, not what it's called. **THE SOLUTION** Where Is It uses your camera as the front door. Open a room, point at an object, snap. The app organizes every photo by the room it lives in — Living Room, Kitchen, Bedroom, Garage — so "where did I put it" is one tap, one scroll. Share a household with your partner over iCloud, in real time. Photo-first. Private by default. No ads, no tracking.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Where Is It at none against Simple List's shown. Simple List's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
