Never lose track of where you put it again. Cabinote is a quiet photo inventory log for your home — every box, shelf, closet, garage corner, and storage unit, captured with photos, locations, and warranties. Without opening a single cabinet, you'll see what's where: cardboard boxes, attic crates, closets, the garage, the storage unit, your collection. Everything, in one offline log. ■ The Daily "Where is it?" Problems • Which box did I pack the winter coats in? • That spare camera charger — is it in the desk drawer? • Where did I put the warranty for the fridge? • I think I bought batteries already… • I want to declutter, but I don't even know what I own. • My collection keeps growing — am I buying duplicates? Cabinote quietly solves all of this. ■ Core Features ▼ Photos for every appliance, every box Snap your appliances, gear, warranties, collection, clothing, documents — everything in your home becomes a calm visual log. Add multiple photos per item to capture every angle and accessory. ▼ Record exactly where things are Tag rooms, shelves, containers, and boxes in a clean hierarchy: "Storage room → top shelf → white box → left compartment." On the Detail screen, the location card sits right at the top — find anything in seconds. ▼ AI Auto-Tagging Snap a photo, and AI suggests Category, Color, and Features. No more typing tags one by one. ▼ OCR Text Search Cabinote reads model numbers, JAN/UPC codes, and product names directly from your photos. Even text on packaging or document titles becomes searchable. Barcodes can be scanned directly. ▼ Warranty Expiry Notifications Save a warranty end date and Cabinote reminds you before it lapses. No more piles of paperwork hiding expiring warranties. ▼ Inbox for "sort it later" Too busy to organize? Just snap a photo and drop it in the Inbox. Sort whenever you have time. ▼ 100% Offline All data stays on your device. Works even in basements, attics, or self-storage units with no signal. ■ Perfect For ▼ Moving & Packing Photograph each box's contents while packing. Find anything without opening a single box at the new place. ▼ Decluttering & Minimalism Visualize your belongings to make better decluttering decisions. Avoid duplicate purchases by knowing what you already own. ▼ Closet & Seasonal Wardrobe Off-season clothes, swimwear, winter coats — you'll always know which bin they're in. ▼ Appliance & Gadget Management Warranties, model numbers, JAN/UPC, S/N, accessories — all in one place. Apple Watch bands, camera chargers, vacuum attachments — never lose them again. ▼ Documents & Receipts Digitize manuals, warranties, receipts, and contracts. Search the actual text inside. ▼ Collections & Hobbies Gadgets, figures, sneakers, books, models — see your collection at a glance. ▼ Garage, Warehouse & Emergency Supplies Tools, camping gear, car parts, emergency kits — all trackable. ■ Privacy First All photos and inventory data stay on your device. Cabinote never uploads or sells your photos or inventory data. (The free version shows ads, which require a network connection.) Manage your private belongings with peace of mind. Moving prep, decluttering, organizing, warranty tracking, minimalism, collection management — Cabinote is the calm photo inventory log that ends "Where did I put it?" forever. Start organizing today.
