PutSpot is a privacy-focused item finder and home inventory app that helps you save where you put things at home using photos, names, tags, notes, reminders, and location details. Save keys, glasses, pill organizers, passports, chargers, remotes, jewelry, warranty papers, seasonal clothes, moving boxes, storage bins, or household documents — then find them in seconds. Stop searching for things at home Instead of asking “Where did I put that?” again and again, save it in PutSpot. Link items to rooms, closets, drawers, shelves, boxes, or storage areas. Use search and voice search to quickly find what you need. How it works • Take a photo of an item or add one from your gallery. • Add a name, note, tag, or location. • Create a location system such as Room > Closet > Box. • Scan QR labels for boxes and places to see what’s inside. • Keep item reminders, documents, purchase and warranty details with items. • Find items fast with search or voice search. • Share item photos, notes, and location details with family or caregivers. For moving, boxes, and home organization PutSpot helps you build a simple digital home inventory for moving lists, storage boxes, closets, drawers, pantry areas, office supplies, important documents, and everyday items. Track what is inside each box, where each item is stored, and which drawer, shelf, closet, or room it belongs to. Helpful for memory-friendly organization PutSpot gives you a visual item tracking space to help remember where things are placed at home. It can be useful for ADHD-friendly home organization, visual routines, or keeping frequently misplaced items such as keys, glasses, pill organizers, papers, remotes, and chargers easier to find. PutSpot can also support family members and caregivers by making item locations easier to share and remember.
