Stowkeep is a home inventory. It knows what you own and where it is. Places at any depth Apartment, garage, summer house, storage room, storage unit. Inside them β€” rooms, wardrobes, shelves, boxes: as many levels as there really are. Every item is tied to a specific place, and search returns the full path rather than a name: "Garage β€Ί Rack β€Ί Blue box". The item card Name, category, quantity, photos, note. Price, serial number, barcode, a link to the shop. Dates: purchase, expiry, warranty, service, return. Status β€” in place or lent out. The history of moves is kept. Quick entry By hand β€” a name and a place, the rest optional. Scan a receipt, a document or a shelf β€” the items are recognised together with prices and dates. By voice β€” recognition runs on the device; audio never leaves the phone. QR labels on boxes open the right place with a single scan. Dates and reminders All dates in one feed: overdue, next 7 days, next 30 days, later. A notification arrives the chosen number of days ahead, at the chosen hour; move the date and the reminder moves with it. Widgets show the nearest dates and the shopping list. Shared home An invite code opens the same shelves on another phone. The app works offline and syncs once a connection is available. The subscription is taken out for the home and covers every member. Free and by subscription Free: 30 places and 100 items, scanning, voice input, the shared home, QR labels, CSV export. The subscription removes the limits on places and items β€” for every member of the home. Subscription: monthly or yearly. You'll see the price for your country in the App Store before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account, renewal is automatic, and it can be cancelled in Settings no later than 24 hours before the end of the period.
