Cribly is an agent, not another app full of forms. Every home inventory app hands you the same thing: empty fields, dropdowns, and a spreadsheet with better fonts. Nobody finishes them. Cribly starts from the opposite idea — you shouldn't be doing the data entry at all. You capture; your agent catalogs. NO FORMS. EVER. Snap a photo of anything — an appliance, a receipt, a manual, a paint can. Cribly's AI works out what it is, extracts the details, and files it in the right place. Model numbers, purchase dates, prices, warranty periods: read from the photo, not typed by you. A LIVING INVENTORY, BUILT FOR YOU Your home becomes an organized, searchable registry — rooms, appliances, systems, documents, and the receipts that prove it all. It stays current because adding to it costs you nothing more than pointing your camera. ASK YOUR HOME ANYTHING "When did we buy the dishwasher?" "Where's the manual for the furnace?" "What paint is in the bedroom?" Chat with Cribly by text or voice and get answers from your home's own records — because your agent has been keeping track all along. MAINTENANCE THAT MINDS ITSELF Cribly knows what's in your home, so it knows what needs care. Filter changes, servicing, seasonal upkeep — your agent suggests the tasks and reminds you at the right time. No recurring-reminder setup required. CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE Forward a receipt by email. Send a photo over WhatsApp. Use the app or the web. However a document reaches you, it can reach your agent — and it gets filed the same way: automatically. FOR THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD Invite family members to your home. Everyone can add with a snap, everyone can ask, and the answers come from one shared source of truth. WORKS WITH THE AI YOU ALREADY USE Cribly connects to assistants like Claude and ChatGPT, so you can ask about your home — or add to it — right from the AI tools you already talk to every day.
