Stash

Snap a photo and Stash creates the entry for you: brand, model, category, done. Your home inventory, your collections and every warranty in one place. And when you can't find something, just ask: "Where's my passport?" SNAP IT. AI FILLS IT IN. No typing. Take a photo, the AI recognizes the item and suggests every field. You check it and save. A full bookshelf or a packed garage gets logged in minutes, not weekends. ASK YOUR STUFF ANYTHING The built-in AI assistant knows your entries and gives straight answers: • "Where's my passport?" • "Which warranties expire in the next 30 days?" • "What's the serial number of my printer?" • "Who did I lend my drill to?" • "What's stored in the garage?" READY BEFORE YOU NEED IT After a fire, flood or break-in, insurers ask for a list of everything you owned. Most people start from memory. With Stash you already have it: photos, purchase dates, prices, receipts and serial numbers for every item, plus the total value of each room and collection. NEVER BUY THE SAME THING TWICE Books, manga, vinyl records, watches, fragrances, sneakers, coins, board games. See instantly what you already own, what you paid and what your collection is worth. WARRANTIES, RECEIPTS, SERIAL NUMBERS Purchase date, warranty, receipt, serial number and photos live right on the item. No more digging through emails when something breaks or when you want to sell it. TAP A TAG, SEE WHAT'S INSIDE Stick an NFC tag on a moving box, a toolbox or your laptop. Tap it with your iPhone and the right item opens. Barcodes and your own QR labels work the same way. Moving gets a lot easier when every box tells you what's in it. 70+ TEMPLATES, READY TO GO Books, records, movies, board games, bikes, tools, electronics, cameras, camping gear, furniture, kitchen, documents, insurance policies, subscriptions and many more. Business bundles for fleets, buildings and IT included. BUILT THE WAY YOU THINK • Custom fields: text, number with unit, date, choice, image, location • Custom templates for any collection • Nest it: house → room → shelf → item • Link items, like a battery to its camera • See every location on a map: home, basement, garage, office, storage unit • Instant search across every field and note FREE TO START Try Stash for free.
