Read full description

Toss the box, keep everything else. Boxless is a private home inventory for everything you own — appliances, electronics, smart-home gear, tools, and more. Snap a photo, scan the barcode or read the model and serial numbers off the label, and keep the receipts and manuals in one place. Then set maintenance reminders so nothing gets neglected. Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with your inventory kept in sync across all your devices. Made for keeping track of it all: • Add items fast — photograph them, or use the camera to scan barcodes and read model/serial numbers. • Keep the paperwork — attach receipts and manuals (PDFs or photos) to any item. • Never miss upkeep — reminders for filter changes, battery swaps, and warranty expirations. • Organize your way — sort by what needs attention, name, recently added, or room, and filter by room or category. Big built-in brand and retailer lists speed up entry. • Multiple homes — keep separate inventories for your house, a rental, or a family member's place. • Make it yours — choose from hundreds of icons, including tools and smart-home devices. • Export anytime — get a ZIP with a spreadsheet of everything, plus all your photos and documents. It's a ready-made record if you ever need to prove what you owned for an insurance claim. Free to start — your first 15 items are free. Unlock unlimited items with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever. Private by design: • No account, no sign-up, no servers of ours. • No analytics, no tracking, no ads. • Your data stays on your device and syncs only through your own private iCloud — we can't see your data, ever. Perfect for homeowners, renters, and smart-home enthusiasts who want warranties, manuals, and model numbers at their fingertips — without handing their life to a cloud service. Toss the box. Keep everything else.
