Have you ever found yourself in this situation? Someone asks, "Do we need to order anything online?" and you end up checking every single item in your house, from detergent to tissues, just to figure out your stock. For those who face this dilemma, we've created an iOS app that simplifies home inventory management, called Stockn! With Stockn, you can easily register and manage your inventory. Just save a product's purchase link (URL), and when you run low you can open its store page in a single tap — shop search on services like Amazon and Rakuten, as well as barcode scanning, are also supported. Add expiration dates and Stockn will remind you before they're due, with color-coded badges and a "sort by soonest expiry" view. You can even set when to be notified (how many days before, and at what time). No matter how much your list grows, find anything by name in an instant. You can instantly check your stock status at a glance with color-coded quantities and quickly sort your items with smooth performance. You can also share your inventory with your family or partner. Everything syncs in real time, so even when you're out and about, you won't have to wonder "wait, do we still have this at home?" — no more forgotten items or duplicate purchases. Stockn also supports automatic iCloud backup. So, if your iPhone ever breaks, you can simply reinstall the app and restore your data. Moreover, your data will sync perfectly across multiple devices like your iPhone and iPad. There's no service registration required either; just install the app and start using it right away! We plan to add various new features in future updates!
