Magic Home Inventory

Róbert Papp (TWiStErRob)

About this app

This is a home inventory application.
It helps you maintain a list of stuff you have, with an efficient interface and easy navigation. The inventory structure is based on real life. There are 3 types of belongings: properties have rooms (or areas) and items located within. Container items, like boxes, can contain any other items. You can create lists of items, just like you could on a piece of paper. See Structure section in Help for more details.

Features:
 • Infinite hierarchy: Property ▶ Room ▶ Item ▶ Item ▶ …
 • Categories: 15 diverse categories with 300+ well-defined finer categories
 • Categorization aid based on 2,500+ hand-selected keywords
 • Custom camera to help selecting the item on the picture
 • Move selection of items into any container
 • Advanced search to easily find anything in moments
 • Sunburst chart to see a visual overview of your stuff
 • Import/Export to manually backup or transfer your inventory

When is it useful?
 • You have a remote storage and you don't remember exactly what's there.
 • You're moving, to remember which box contains what.
 • You're tidy and organized and want to know where your stuff belongs.
 • You want to inventory valuable items for insurance purposes.
 • You're not at home, but your family member/flatmate wants something.
 • You want to declutter, you can create a list of stuff you want to throw away.
 • You're transitioning to a minimalist lifestyle and want to share your redundant stuff up for grabs.
 • You're curious how many pens you have lying around the house.

If you have any question or comment feel free to send a feedback email, I'll answer them.
Please send the error reports if they pop up. The app doesn't have Internet permission, so it can't send automatic crash reports.

Ratings and reviews

It appears this inventory program is being compared with a few others I have tested. With that said this is a great inventory program! It may not have every Bell and whistle of every inventory app, but it surely does a good job of keeping up with your home inventory. It is NOT complicated, and also allows backup via more than one option. You can also import. I can't find any reason rating less than 3 stars. Helpful and great standalone inventory app. I would buy if it wasnt free. Thanks

Very helpful setup-nice to have an app that helps you really see what you have. Well done! Update as of 12/22/19: Started using this app and I'm amazed at how much I can break down my inventory. The sunburst model is awesome; it gives you a really cool perspective if the things you have and where. While the icons are clean, it was actually fun to insert my pics for the location headers. I highly recommend this app for anyone who is detailed oriented when it comes to inventorying your things!👍

Dev emails bounce back - App must not be developed anymore. ISSUES: VERY complicated and granular. I guess with flexibility comes complexity. No cloud storage backup so if you lose your phone, you are screwed unless you happened to backup your database and saved it somewhere. I guess this would be ok but the UI is busy, complicated, haphazard and cumbersome to navigate. Adding items to rooms in a category takes 7 or more clicks. You can't assign quantities to things so you need to add notes. Dev Website does not work and emails to the dev bounce back. But hey... IT"S FREE so what do you expect?
