TackleCache

Read full description

Know what you own. Know what you use. TackleCache is a fishing tackle inventory app, tackle box organizer, barcode scanner, and fishing log built to help anglers catalog and manage their gear faster. SCAN FIRST. TYPE LESS. Adding tackle shouldn’t feel like work. Scan a product barcode and TackleCache uses known product information to help fill in the details. If the barcode isn’t recognized, photograph the front and back of the package and let TackleCache read the label. Review and edit everything before adding it to your inventory. TackleCache can help capture: • Product and brand names • Colors and sizes • Model numbers and SKUs • Package quantities • Notes You can also enter tackle manually. ORGANIZE YOUR FISHING TACKLE Build a searchable inventory that reflects how your gear is actually stored. Track quantities, attach photos, add notes, and organize tackle by inventory. Premium containers let you mirror your tackle boxes, bags, and other storage. Use TackleCache to: • Record detailed tackle information • Track how many of each item you own • Search and sort your inventory • Add item and package photos • Organize gear by inventory and container • Move tackle between storage locations • Receive low-stock alerts CHECK WHAT IS ACTUALLY ON HAND Inventory Check helps you physically count tackle using barcode scans, NFC tags, or manual selection. Add newly found items as you count, then review, edit, accept, or ignore suggested adjustments before anything changes. Premium members can check a container, an entire inventory, or every inventory and container in one session. Smart move detection can suggest when tackle has moved between boxes instead of showing confusing quantity mismatches. TAP TO FIND YOUR GEAR Assign NFC tags to tackle, inventories, and Premium containers. Tap your phone to a tag to instantly pull up the linked gear—ideal for homemade tackle, custom items, storage boxes, and equipment without manufacturer barcodes. TRACK YOUR TRIPS AND CATCHES Trip Mode connects your fishing log and catch tracker directly to your tackle inventory. During a trip, mark tackle as used, record catches, and track which baits produced results. Afterward, review what you used and apply approved quantity adjustments. MAP YOUR CATCHES See every catch with a saved location on an interactive map in Trip Mode, Trip Log, and trip summaries. Switch between satellite imagery and a USGS land-map view, then filter catches by date range or lake. Premium members can save private custom waypoints anywhere on the map. Mark structure, rock piles, brush, points, and other locations with color-coded categories, fine-tune pin placement, and filter which spots appear. Your saved waypoints are visible only to you. FREE FEATURES • One inventory with up to 50 items • Barcode and package-label scanning • NFC tag scanning and assignment • Inventory Check • Editable item details and photos • Search and sorting tools • Default low-stock alerts • Basic Trip Mode • Trip and catch tracking • Interactive Catch Map • Export selected items TACKLECACHE PREMIUM • Unlimited tackle items • Multiple inventories and transfers • Containers for tackle boxes, bags, and storage • Container-aware transfers and filtering • Full Inventory Check with smart move suggestions • Private custom map waypoints • Advanced sorting and item rankings • Item locking • Custom low-stock thresholds • Expanded trip summaries • Monthly, yearly, and custom-date analytics • Lake-based trip filtering • Rankings based on use, catches, and adjustments • Recommended bait insights • Enhanced export options Whether your tackle is stored in one box or spread between your boat, garage, bags, and tackle boxes, TackleCache helps you add it faster, find it more easily, and understand what you use. Scan first. Type less. Know what you own. Know what you use. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
