Stow: Home Inventory

Tejada Dev

About this app

Stow is a calm, simple home inventory. Write down what you own once, and always know where it is: which room, which shelf, which box.

EARLY ACCESS
Stow is in Early Access: free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. Everything here works today, but features may still change and you may hit a rough edge. Your inventory is never locked in: export all of it, photos included, any time. Missing something? Settings › Send feedback goes straight to the developer and shapes what comes next.

WHERE DID I PUT IT?
Search your whole home at once. Type "batteries" and Stow lists every pack you own, along with exactly where each one lives: Maple Street › Garage › Red tool chest.

ORGANIZE THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY STORE THINGS
• A separate inventory for each place: your home, a holiday rental, the office, a storage unit
• Rooms and areas, with ready-made presets like Kitchen, Garage and Attic
• Containers inside rooms: boxes, bins, shelves, cabinets, toolboxes, bags and more
• Containers inside containers, nested as deep as you keep things
• Moving things around? Pick them up into the tray, open their new spot and drop them all there at once

ADD THINGS QUICKLY
• Capture several items in a row with the camera, then review and save them together
• Get a category and tags suggested from each photo, by Google's Gemini AI or only on your phone, your choice
• Scan a product barcode to fill in its name and details
• Bring in an existing spreadsheet (CSV), or a ZIP file with photos

THE DETAILS THAT MATTER
• Photos for items, boxes and rooms, plus a second photo for a receipt or label
• Quantity, category, tags and notes
• Value, purchase date and expiry date, handy for insurance lists and pantry stock
• Links to manuals, receipts or product pages
• Your own custom categories alongside the built-in ones

KNOW WHAT'S OUT
Lent the drill to a neighbor, or packed the tent for a trip? Take it out and note who has it. It stays listed where it lives with an Out badge until you put it back.

LABEL YOUR BOXES
Stick a QR code or barcode on a box or item, then scan it later to see what's inside without opening it. Labels you already have work, no special stickers needed. Perfect for moving day, the attic and the garage.

SHARE WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD
Invite family or housemates to a home so everyone can search it and add to it.

YOURS, ON YOUR TERMS
• Start right away as a guest, no sign-up needed
• Link a Google or email account whenever you like to keep your inventory and use it on a new phone
• Works offline: browse, search and edit, and it syncs when you reconnect
• Export a spreadsheet (CSV), a full backup, or everything with photos in one ZIP
• No ads, and your information is never sold or used for advertising
• Saves are instant, and photos upload in the background, even on a patchy connection

Stow is great for:
• Remembering what's in the storage boxes in the attic or basement
• Packing, moving and unpacking
• Keeping a home contents list for insurance
• Tracking pantry stock and expiry dates
• Keeping track of things you lend out
• Garage, workshop and craft supplies
• Shared homes where nobody remembers who put what where

Everything in its place.
