The end of "I know it's here somewhere." WhichDrawer is a visual inventory for your drawer organizers, parts cabinets, bins, and toolboxes. Photograph your storage, map its drawers, and catalog what lives inside — then find any of it in seconds, even the stuff you packed away years ago. Storing things out of sight shouldn't mean losing touch with them. This is how you reconnect with your things. FIND IT WITH A PHOTO Can't remember what it's called — just what it looks like? Snap a photo (or pick one from your library) and AI image search matches it against your own item photos and answers with a drawer: 8 x 8 parts cabinet, Drawer 15. MAP YOUR REAL DRAWERS Recreate any organizer as a grid — from a 2x2 caddy to a 12x12 parts cabinet. Merge cells for wider drawers, color-code sections, and label everything. Tap a drawer to see exactly what's inside, with quantities. SCAN BARCODES, SKIP THE TYPING Point the camera at a UPC/EAN barcode — or scan one from an existing photo — and the details fill themselves in: name, brand, product image. KNOW WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING LOW Set minimum quantities and get a restock list before you run out. Track expiration dates for anything with a shelf life. One tap finds a replacement on Amazon. ONE ITEM, MANY PLACES Keep the same part in three drawers? WhichDrawer tracks per-drawer quantities and totals them automatically, so "where is it?" always gets a complete answer. SHARE WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD Bring family or housemates into a household and everyone can see each other's organizers, on any plan. You can also share a single organizer with anyone by email. Pro supports Apple Family Sharing: one subscription, up to five family members. MADE TO FEEL LIKE A WORKSHOP WhichDrawer is styled like the places your stuff actually lives: warm paper, brass and sage, typewriter labels, stamped badges — and a lamplit dark mode for the midnight where-are-the-fuses run. PERFECT FOR: • Workshop & garage — screws, bolts, connectors, spare hardware • Craft room — beads, buttons, thread, brushes • Kitchen & pantry — spices, baking supplies, batteries (we know) • Electronics bench — resistors, capacitors, cables • Collections — bricks, minifigs, cards, miniatures • Anywhere else the "just in case" stuff accumulates ALSO IN THE DRAWER: • Up to 5 photos per item • Ready-made layout templates, from a 2x2 caddy to a workshop cabinet • Categories with colors and icons • Low stock & expiration alerts • CSV import, CSV/JSON export • Browse, search, and add or edit items offline (Standard & Pro) • Face ID / Touch ID app lock and two-factor authentication • Lamplit dark mode FREE TO START Every plan includes unlimited items, barcode scanning, alerts, sharing and export. Free covers one organizer and 20 AI image searches a month, with no time limit. Standard ($0.99/month) covers 5 organizers and adds unlimited AI image search and offline access. Pro ($1.99/month) covers 25 organizers, unlimited AI image search, offline access, and Family Sharing. Annual plans save about 20%. — WhichDrawer began with a father's basement workshop: an 8 x 8 wall of little drawers whose peeling labels were more rumor than record. The real index lived in his head. This app is that tribal knowledge, written down — with a search engine attached. Reconnect with your things.
