About

TraceNook

Features
Read full description

TraceNook is a simple home inventory app that tracks where things are, how many you have, and when they expire. Search by name to see the exact room, shelf, and box. It's free to start, with no ads and no account. Take a photo of a package and TraceNook reads the product name and expiration date for you. Unlimited, even on the free plan. GREAT IF YOU… • Search the whole house for something you know you have • Keep hearing "Where's the thermometer?" or "Where are the scissors?" • Buy plastic wrap or detergent when you already have some • Reach for medicine or emergency food and find it already expired • Want to know what's in a storage bin without opening it WHAT YOU CAN DO • Locations: go from room to shelf to box, like Hallway > Cabinet > Top shelf > Blue box • Search by name: finds items even with small typos • Quantity and expiration: see what's running low or expiring soon in one list. Different expiration dates for the same item are tracked separately • Less typing: take a photo of the package to fill in the product name and printed date. Recognition runs on your phone and is unlimited on the free plan • Everyday presets: pick from 260+ items like tissues and detergent, with name, category, and unit already filled in • QR labels: put a TraceNook QR label on a box and scan it to open that box's list • Family sharing: on the same Wi-Fi, phones sync directly. Away from it, open the app and your changes travel end-to-end encrypted through a relay server, which deletes them once delivered (first pairing and photo sync need the same Wi-Fi). • Bulk entry from a computer: add many items at once from a web browser on the same Wi-Fi • Backup: export an encrypted backup file and restore it whenever you need PRICING • Free: up to 50 items in your personal space (up to 80 by completing reward tasks). No ads • Pro (one-time purchase): unlimited items • Max (one-time purchase): create a shared family space • Joining a family space is free Pro and Max are one-time purchases, not subscriptions. Your records and photos are stored on your device. When you sync away from home, only encrypted data passes through the relay server, and TraceNook can't read it. It is deleted once delivered, or within 7 days if it can't be. Privacy Policy: https://tracenook.com/privacy/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
