The inventory app that talks to your AI. Most inventory apps just store your stuff. This one makes it usable by the tools you already rely on. Add items in seconds, then connect your inventory to ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI assistant — so you can simply ask "what do I have?" instead of digging through lists. Add anything in seconds Point your camera, snap a photo, and let the app draft the item for you — name, details, and all. Prefer to type it in? The manual editor is always one tap away. Context Ready: your inventory, shared with AI This is what sets the app apart. Your catalog isn't locked inside another silo. Export it as a Skill.md file or connect it live through MCP (Model Context Protocol), and any compatible AI assistant can read, search, and reason over everything you own. Ask questions in plain language: • "Do I already own an HDMI cable?" • "What's in the garage bins?" • "List everything I bought this year." Find it fast Powerful search and browse let you locate any item instantly. Tap through to full details whenever you need them. Built for control • Camera-first capture with smart auto-fill • Fast, full-text search across your whole inventory • Bring your own LLM API key • Configurable backend and secure token storage • Clean, native iOS design Whether you're tracking household belongings, small-business stock, gear, or a growing collection, this is the inventory that's ready to work with AI — not just sit there. Download now and make your inventory Context Ready.

Verdict
