"When was the last time you changed your toothbrush?" Some things do not need to stay on your mind every day, but when it is time to replace them, restock them, or handle them later, they still need a place to go. Swap It helps you remember these small everyday things. It is not just another to-do list. It helps you manage the status of household items: still fine, almost due, due today, running low, or postponed for later. Open the app and you will know what needs your attention. Family Swap It. 2.0: from keeping track on your own, to keeping track together as a family. You used to log, replace, and restock household items by yourself. Now create a family and invite people in. Everyone can open the app and see what is running low or due. Who restocked and who replaced something stays in Family Activity. No more asking who bought the toilet paper. 9 key features: 1. Today's reminders See what needs to be replaced, restocked, or handled today, sorted by urgency so the most important items are easy to find. 2. Replacement cycle tracking Set a usage cycle and reminder date for each item. Great for toothbrushes, towels, filters, contact lenses, air conditioner filters, and other items that need regular replacement. 3. Spare item inventory Keep track of how many spare items you have at home and set a safe stock level. When the quantity gets low, the app reminds you to restock. 4. Automatic shopping list Items that are running low can be gathered into a shopping list, so you are less likely to forget them when you go out. 5. Collection book and item photos Add photos and categories to your items, making household supplies easier to browse and manage than a plain text list. 6. Quick setup for common items Use built-in templates for common household consumables, so you can add frequently used items faster without starting from scratch. 7. Location organization Organize items by places such as the living room, kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom, making it easier to find things and check what you have. 8. Usage history and statistics Record each replacement and restock, then review your actual usage cycle over time to create reminders that better match your routine. 9. Track together as a family Create a family and invite people in. Everyone can see what is running low or due; who restocked and who replaced something stays in Family Activity. Expiration dates and shelf life: Beyond replacement cycles, you can track the expiration date of food, medicine, cosmetics, and skincare. Period-after-opening shelf life is tracked separately, so you get reminded before something expires instead of finding out too late. Great for tracking: ・Toothbrushes, towels, contact lenses, and other items replaced regularly ・Water purifier filters, air purifier filters, vacuum accessories, and other maintenance supplies ・Batteries, toilet paper, laundry detergent, cleaning refills, and other spare items ・Cosmetics, skincare, and medicine with an expiry date ・Food and condiments in your fridge or pantry ・Any small household task you do not want to think about every day, but also do not want to forget Items that are running low are gathered into a shopping list, so you know what to buy before you head out. Your item data is mainly managed on your device, making it a simple and private way to organize everyday supplies. With a Pro account, you can turn on Personal Space auto-sync so your data follows you to another device. After you create a family, everyone in it can keep track together. Keep replacements, restocking, and reminders in one place. Let Swap It remember every day that something needs attention.
