Simple Item Finder is a calm home for everything you keep — the winter gloves you won't need until November, the warranty cards you'll remember to grab just before they expire, the passport you swore was in that drawer. It's not a label maker. It's not a chore. It's a notebook for your stuff. HOW IT WORKS - Build a hierarchy of locations: Home → Bedroom → Wardrobe → Top shelf - Add items with a title and an optional description — no forms, no photos - Search instantly across every title and description - Every item shows its full path back home WHY IT EXISTS Because the question "where did I put…" is one of the quietest taxes on a day. Because photos of drawers are clutter. Because Evernote is too much. FEATURES - Hierarchical locations, nested as deep as you like - Fast full-text search on title and description - iCloud sync across your Apple devices - CSV export for portability (GDPR Article 20) - 5 calm Scandinavian design themes — light and dark - Works fully offline PRIVACY Your data never leaves your device. No accounts. No servers. No tracking. No analytics. No ads. iCloud sync only if you choose — via your private iCloud account. We never see your data. Made in Germany, GDPR-compliant by design.
