Never ask "Where did I put that?" again. PutSpot is a private item finder and inventory app for your home, office or storage: save where things are with photos, voice search, notes, QR tags and barcodes, then find them in seconds. Keys, passports, chargers, glasses, documents, seasonal clothes, storage boxes, tools in the garage: give everything a spot on a shelf, in a drawer, a closet, a box or a room, and PutSpot remembers it for you. NEW IN 1.8: KNOW WHAT YOU OWN AND WHERE IT IS • Barcode and receipt scanning: scan a barcode and product details fill in; snap a receipt to capture purchase info and pick the items you want. • Multiple homes and spaces (Pro): keep home, holiday home, office and storage separate and move items between them. • Home value: see the total value of your things by place and category and share a summary. • Expiry dates and reminders: add a best-before date and choose when to be reminded. Upcoming and expired items show on Home. • Export and backup: CSV, a ZIP with all photos and documents, or a PDF report. Restore from a ZIP anytime. • Effortless moving: swipe to move an item, move several at once and see each item's move history. • Smarter filters: by value, warranty, expiry, documents, tags or missing details. • Background removal (Pro): make item photos pop, right on your device. Try it 3 times for free. • Sharing: send items to another PutSpot user or share them as text and photos. • Dates by voice: just say the date. HOW IT WORKS • Take a photo with your camera or pick one from your gallery. • Add a name, notes, tags and where it is: Room > Closet > Box. • Print or scan QR labels for boxes and shelves to see what's inside. • Find anything with search or voice search. • Keep purchase details, warranty papers and documents with each item. FOR MOVING, STORAGE AND ORGANIZING Build a simple digital inventory for moving boxes, storage units, the garage, closets, pantry shelves and office supplies. Know what is inside every box and on every shelf. MEMORY-FRIENDLY AND ADHD-FRIENDLY A visual home inventory helps you remember where things are and keeps often-misplaced items like keys, glasses, pill organizers and remotes easy to find. Families and caregivers can share item locations too. PutSpot is a home organization app, not a medical device, and does not provide medical advice. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account needed. Your items and places stay on your device by default; sync with your own iCloud or Google Drive is optional. App Lock adds extra protection.
