Every garage, closet, and gear bin has the same problem: you know you own it, you just can't find it. My Item Finder gives every item a home — and tells you where that home is. SET UP IN MINUTES • Create locations for your bins, shelves, and spots — workbench, charging station, truck • Print QR labels: scan one with your camera and that bin's contents appear • Photograph an item and the app drafts its name, description, category, and tags for you to review FIND ANYTHING • Search by name — or describe it in your own words ("the tool that holds a bike cassette") • Browse by tag, ask Siri, or find items right from iPhone search • Stick an NFC tag on gear and tap your phone to open that item CHECK OUT, CHECK BACK IN • One tap checks an item out to a trip, a job site, or a friend • See everything that's out, grouped by where it went • Check a whole trip back in at once — and see exactly what didn't come home PACK SMARTER • Build reusable packing lists ("Camping", "Ski weekend") from your real gear, plus reminders like "fill the water jugs" • The packing screen groups items by where they're stored, so you walk the garage once • Packing progress lives in your account — resume from any device YOUR DATA IS YOURS • Private by design: your inventory is visible only to you • Sign in with Apple, Google, or email • Export everything — JSON, spreadsheet, or a ZIP with all your photos — anytime • Delete your account and all data from inside the app Browse and search your downloaded inventory even without a connection.
