Do you want to keep track of your collections, your hobby supplies, your pantry, your wardrobe, etc.? If so, CardFiler is for you. Whether you’re a knitter who needs to keep track of the needles and yarn you own, or a hobbyist that wants to keep track of your tools and supplies or a school teacher trying to remember where all of your classroom supplies are kept. If you’ve ever been at the store and wondered, for example, if you have that paint color, that shade of yarn, that rubber stamp, or that book or magazine? CardFiler is for you. If you've tried other inventory apps and found them to be cumbersome and overloaded with bells and whistles, more suitable for a business than the homeowner or hobbyist?

To enter an item just press the +, take 1 or 2 pictures, give the item a name and a category, and enter any notes you would like. This can be the location, the price, when acquired, whatever; it’s up to you. Then hit List and your item is recorded. When you are ready to find that tool or you are at the store and want to know if you already have that set of knitting needles, or that book, simply go to CardFiler on your iPhone or iPad. You can search by name or category or simply have CardFiler display all items alphabetically by name or category, just in case you can’t remember what you called something.
