Which drawer holds your passport? Where did you put the camping lantern? Yerlo helps you remember your things and where you keep them. Build your own location tree, from home to room to cupboard to drawer. Assign items to places and find them when you need them. • Add names, categories and notes to your items. • Create your own categories. • Attach a photo of an item or its storage location. • Keep favorites close and archive older entries. • Search by item, category, note or location name. • Set dates and times for local reminders. • Capture your thoughts as voice notes. • Choose English or Turkish, with light and dark themes. No account is required. Items, photos, voice notes and reminders are stored on your device; these features work without an internet connection. Locations are storage places you name yourself. Yerlo does not request your GPS location. Notifications require your permission. Your device's notification settings can affect delivery time. Camera and microphone access are used only when you choose the related feature.
