I built a home inventory app that fills in an item's details from a photo, and shows you the box it went into

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.koalalab.storeandforget

Solo dev here. Store & Forget is a home inventory app for the stuff you box up and forget: cables, chargers, tools, seasonal things. You snap a photo of something as you put it away and the app fills in the name, description and specs for you. Later you find it by typing a plain word or by tapping Smart Find, and it shows you the exact box or shelf it went into, so you go straight there instead of opening every container.

The first image is that flow. The app writing up a power bank on the left, Smart Find pulling up where something is on the right.

Here is why I am posting now. Bring Your Own Key lets you plug in your own AI key and run unlimited Smart Scans. Getting that key is free, and in the store the unlock costs $4.99. Right now a hidden easter egg turns that same unlock on for free: in Settings, tap the version number five times to open a retro dev console, then type unlock byok. You sign in with Google so the unlock saves to your account and survives a reinstall. I am removing the free path in an update on 31 August, so anyone who turns it on before then keeps it for good.

The rest is straightforward. The app is free to use, everything lives on your own device, and backup to your Google Drive is optional. The photo scan runs on a cloud AI service, so the free tier gives you a set number of scans. Android only for now.

Happy to answer anything, and I would genuinely like to hear where it feels clunky.

[Android] [4.99$ -> Free] Store & Forget : home inventory app that writes each item's details from the photo, BYOK unlock free until 31 August

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.koalalab.storeandforget

Dev here. Store & Forget is a home inventory app for the stuff you box up and forget: cables, tools, seasonal things. You photograph a thing as you put it away and the app writes the name, brand and description for you, so there is nothing to type. Months later you search for it and the result tells you which box or shelf it is sitting in.

The deal is BYOK, short for bring your own key. It is a 4.99$ unlock in the app and it is free until 31 August. You paste in your own API key, which costs nothing to get and needs no billing account, and Smart Scans run on your own quota instead of spending the app's credits.

To claim it, open Settings and tap the app version label at the bottom five times. A small console opens. Type unlock byok. You sign in with Google so BYOK saves to your account, which is why it survives a reinstall or a new phone. Switch it on before the 31st and it stays yours after the offer closes.

The app itself is free either way. Your inventory is a database on the phone, so adding, browsing and keyword search work with no account and no connection, and backup to your own Google Drive is optional. Android only.

Happy to answer anything here.

Home inventory app that writes the details for you

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.koalalab.storeandforget

I made this because I kept losing things inside my own house. Nothing was ever really gone, it was in one of about thirty boxes and I had no idea which one.

The app is one loop. You photograph a thing as you put it away and it fills in the name and the description for you, so there is nothing to type. Months later you search for it in plain words and every result shows the box or shelf it is sitting in, so you go straight there instead of opening everything.

What that buys you is not having to sort anything first. Throw random things into one box and let the app keep track of what went in there. Every inventory app I tried before wanted me to become an organised person first, and that was never going to happen.

While it is up: the BYOK unlock is free until 31 August. You paste in your own API key and Smart Scans run unlimited on your own quota. The key is free to get and there is no billing account involved. To switch it on, open Settings, tap the app version 5 times, then type unlock byok in the console that opens.

I am one person building this, so if something breaks or it names an item wrong, tell me here and I will fix it.

Home inventory app that writes an item's details from a photo. 1.26 lets a shared inventory carry every photo and file.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.koalalab.storeandforget

https://hkstudio.casarit.site/

Solo dev here. Store & Forget is a home inventory app for the stuff you own but cannot find. You photograph a thing as you put it away, the app writes its name, brand and description for you, and months later you describe it the way you would actually say it and it tells you which box or shelf it is sitting in.

1.26 went live this week and it is mostly about sharing, plus filing things faster.

  • Share all photos and files: a shared inventory used to send one photo per item. Switch this on and every photo goes across with the receipts and manuals attached to it. Off by default, set per inventory, and you see the cost before anything sends. Prices, private fields and loans never travel either way.

  • Spot picker: your Areas are now headers you open and close with a count of what is inside, and a banner across the top tells you where the item is filing while you browse.

A few older parts, in case this is your first look:

  • Documents live on the item itself. Photograph a multi-page warranty and it lands as one PDF there. Put an expiry date on it and your phone reminds you before it lapses, thirty days ahead for something like a passport.

  • Supplies: mark something as a supply, say how few is too few, and the ones you are nearly out of gather in a strip on the Items screen. It shows you, it does not order anything.

  • Bring Your Own Key: paste in your own free key and scans stop spending credits. Normally $4.99, free until 31 August. Open Settings, tap the app version five times, type unlock byok.

The inventory is a database on the phone itself, so adding, browsing and keyword search work with no account and no connection. The expiry reminder is a local notification, nothing leaves the phone for it. Backup to your own Google Drive is optional. 18 languages, Android only for now.

Happy to hear where it feels clunky, especially the first five minutes.

Instead of organizing the drawer I photographed it into a home inventory app that writes each item's name and description

Solo dev here, and that is my own desk drawer in the clip. The app is called Store & Forget, Android only for now.

The part I could never make work was the organizing itself. I would sort a drawer properly, feel good about it, and six months later I still could not tell you which drawer the spare charger ended up in. So I gave up on the sorting and put the effort into finding instead.

The method is just this. Before I close a drawer or a box I photograph what is in it, the app writes the name and the description for each thing, and it remembers which drawer that was. Later I type what I am after and it tells me where it is, so I open one drawer instead of all of them.

The clip is burst mode, which is the bit worth watching. I keep shooting and every photo becomes its own item. You can see the counter climb from five named to eight while I am already standing there doing nothing with the phone down. It also spotted a power bank I already owned and asked whether to merge it instead of quietly keeping two. Everything lands in a summary at the end so you can fix whatever it got wrong.

The photo scan runs on a cloud AI service, so that part needs a connection. Adding, browsing and keyword search all work on the device with no account.

You do not need an app for any of this and I would rather say so. A photo album per drawer gets you most of the way there. The app is the version where you do not have to remember which album.

The burst mode is normally $2.99 and it is free until 10 August if you want it. Open Settings, tap the app version at the bottom five times, and type fire in the console that opens.

▲ 2 r/Startup_Ideas

Two things people keep asking my home inventory app to do that I am not going to build. Both look like their own product to me.

I run a small Android app for cataloguing where you put things around the house. I am not pitching it and I am not going to link it, since this sub is for ideas rather than products. I am posting because the request list I have collected has two asks on it that come up constantly, that I have decided are out of scope for me, and that both look like they want to be somebody's startup.

The first one is documents. What people describe as wanting to file a receipt or a warranty or a manual is almost never about the file. They want to answer a question later, and the question is usually whether they can still return the thing or whether it is still covered. Every general document scanner I have looked at treats the PDF as the object and hands you the job of organising it. What people are actually describing is closer to a deadline engine, where the artifact matters much less than the date attached to it and the object it belongs to. Build it around the expiry rather than the folder and I think you have something.

The hard part there is not the OCR, which is solved and cheap now. It is that receipts are wildly inconsistent, warranty terms are frequently not printed on the receipt at all, and the payoff only shows up months later, which makes retention brutal until the first time it saves someone real money. You would need a reason for people to open it in the meantime and I do not have a good answer for that one.

The second is lent items. It arrives in almost identical words every time, some version of I lent someone a drill and I have no idea who has it. The record keeping is not really the hard bit though. What people find awkward is chasing the person, and a reminder that arrives from an app instead of from them is where the actual value sits.

Nobody is going to maintain a lending ledger by hand, so it has to attach to something people already do, and both sides need to be in it for a reminder to be anything other than nagging your friends by proxy. That two sided requirement is why I think it is a genuine startup problem and not a feature someone bolts on. It is also precisely why I am not doing it, because my app is single player by design and adding a second person changes the shape of the whole thing.

If either of these is already solved well somewhere I would honestly like to know, because I would rather send my users to something good than keep telling them no. And if anyone here wants to run at one, the demand is real and repeatable, I just have the wrong app for it.

I posted my Android home inventory app to 49 subreddits in three weeks. 14 posts got removed and the median score is 2.

I have been building a home inventory app for Android on my own and posting it around Reddit for about three weeks. Here are the real numbers instead of the highlight reel version.

65 posts across 49 subreddits. 14 of those got removed, 9 by moderators and 5 by Reddit's own spam filter, which does not tell you it happened and gives you nothing to appeal. Of the 51 still standing, the median score is 2. Twenty five of them sit at 0 or 1, so half of everything I wrote was seen by approximately nobody. Eight posts made it past 5.

All of it together produced 262 comments, and nearly all of the value sits in about five posts. The best one is in a 43k member sub at 17 upvotes and 22 comments. The best conversation came out of a 780k sub, 11 upvotes but 23 comments, and those comments were real people asking real questions about the app rather than drive by upvotes. Everything else is a long tail of one upvote and silence.

I keep going back and forth on whether the median is the signal or the five good ones are. Judging by the median I should stop posting entirely and go find a different channel. Judging by the top five, the three weeks paid for themselves, because that is where every actual user and every piece of usable feedback came from.

The thing I got most wrong early was assuming bigger subs meant more reach. They did not. What actually predicted a decent post was whether its shape matched what people already post in that particular sub, and when I turned up with the wrong shape the member count made no difference whatsoever.

For context on what I am actually building, it is an Android app called "Store & Forget". You photograph an item as you are putting it away, it fills in the name and specs for you, and months later you find it by typing a plain word or tapping Smart Find, which tells you which box or shelf it went into. Not linking it here since this sub does not allow links.

So here is what I actually came to ask. When the median result is this bad but the tail is genuinely good, do you keep grinding the same channel, or is that just me talking myself into sunk cost?

Solo dev here. Store & Forget is a home inventory app for the stuff you box up and forget, the cables and tools and seasonal things. You snap a photo of something as you put it away and the app fills in the details for you, the name and brand and specs, and months later you type a plain word or tap Smart Find and it shows you the exact box or shelf it went into, so you walk straight to it.

The codes first, because those will go quickly. Below are 10 one-time codes that switch off the banner ads for good. That unlock is $2.99 in the store. These only work inside the app, so you need it installed and signed in with Google, which is also what ties the unlock to your account so it survives a reinstall. Open the Profile tab, tap the Upgrade button, and paste the code into the "Have a code?" box at the bottom of the sheet. First come first served, and each code stops working the moment somebody uses it.

What went live this week is that you can now share an inventory with the people you live with. That was the gap in the whole idea. The person who put the thing away is almost never the person going to look for it, so a private inventory really only works if you live alone. Now your partner or your roommate opens their own phone, searches the same words, and lands on the same shelf.

You invite someone by having them scan a QR code, or by sending them a short code if they are not in the room. You choose what they get: an editor can add and change things, a viewer can only look, and a viewer genuinely cannot edit, the server checks it as well as the screen does. Inventories other people share with you sit in their own tab so they never mix into yours. Joining costs nothing, and an invite expires on its own and can be revoked.

On privacy, since somebody always asks and fairly so. The contents of a shared inventory, the item details and the photos, are encrypted on your phone before they upload, and the key is generated on your device, so what sits on my server is ciphertext I cannot read. Two things I would rather say myself than have you find: the inventory's own name is stored in plain text, and saving any item sends that item's text to a cloud service so the search-by-meaning index can be built, whether you share it or not.

If you miss the codes there is a second thing worth having, and that one is free for everybody. The $6.99 unlock that lets you plug in your own AI key and run unlimited scans is sitting behind a hidden easter egg right now: open Settings, tap the version number at the bottom five times, then type unlock byok. You sign in with Google so it saves to your account and survives a reinstall. I am removing that path in an update around mid August, and anyone who turns it on keeps it.

The rest is straightforward. Free to use, Android only, your inventory is a database on your own phone, and backup to your own Google Drive is optional. The photo scan runs on a cloud AI service, so the free tier gives you a set number of scans and shows the banner that those codes turn off.

Happy to answer anything, and I would like to hear from anyone who shares a place with more stuff than shelf space.

How I built a home inventory app on top of a vision model that catalogs objects from one photo

What keeps surprising me is how far multimodal vision models have moved past captioning into clean extraction. Hand a current hosted model one ordinary phone photo of some random object, a power bank or a hex key, and it hands back structured fields: a sensible name, the brand, rough specs, a category. Values you can store and query, not a sentence about the picture. Two years ago that was too flaky to build on. The single-object case is now reliable enough that a person never types any of it.

That capability is the whole reason the app works. You photograph an item as you put it away, the model turns the photo into a record, and it remembers which box it went in. Later you find it by searching what you remember instead of digging. The model does the cataloging that every earlier inventory app pushed onto the user, which is exactly why those never stuck.

Where it still falls short, honestly: one item in frame is solid, several laid out in one photo needs a review step to catch the misses, and nothing sees inside a sealed box. It only knows the frame, and it guesses wrong sometimes, so every field stays editable. Android for now.

One bonus while it lasts: the $6.99 unlock that gives unlimited scans on your own AI key is free right now through a hidden dev console. In Settings, tap the version five times, then type unlock byok. It saves to your Google account so it sticks, and I am removing that path around mid-August.

Home inventory app where you photograph each item instead of typing it in, stuck on how to price the AI part

Solo dev here, first published app. Store & Forget is a home inventory app: you snap a photo of something as you put it away, and it fills in the name, description and specs for you, so you are not typing every item into a list. Later you find it by a plain word or by tapping Smart Find, and it points you to the box or shelf it went into.

The part I keep going back and forth on is pricing, and I would value how you all think about it. The photo scan calls a cloud AI service, so every scan costs me a little. Right now I give a free quota, then it is either a one time $6.99 unlock or you bring your own AI key for unlimited scans. To seed early users I am even giving that unlock away for a while through a hidden easter egg in the app.

Does a one time unlock plus bring your own key make sense for a tool like this, or am I leaving money on the table versus a small subscription? And is giving the unlock away early a smart way to get reviews, or does it just train people to expect it free?

Everything is stored on the device, backup to your own Google Drive is optional, Android only for now. It is free on Google Play if you want to search the name Store and Forget and see what I mean. Grateful for any pricing takes.

[Self-Promotion] Store & Forget, a home inventory app: drop it in any box, snap a photo, and it fills in the details so you find it later with no digging through every box

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.koalalab.storeandforget

I am the solo dev, so yes this is a self-promo, but I would genuinely like feedback from this crowd.

Store & Forget is an Android home inventory app. You drop something in a box or drawer, snap a photo, and the app fills in the name and details for you. Months later you search in plain words and Smart Find takes you to the exact box or shelf it is in. No labeling system, no digging through every box.

It is also BYOK. Paste in your own AI key and the photo scan and the plain-words search both run unlimited on your key, which stays on your device. On the free tier those are metered, so you get a set number of scans and then sign in with Google to keep the free tier sustainable.

One bonus while it lasts, the $6.99 BYOK unlock is free right now via a hidden easter egg. Open Settings and tap the version number at the bottom five times. I am removing that path in about a month, and anyone who turns it on keeps it.

Android only for now, everything you catalog stays on your device, and you can start without an account.

The thing I keep going back and forth on: is snap-a-photo actually less friction than typing, or do most people not really mind typing a quick label? Curious what this sub thinks.

photograph an item as you box it up and it fills in the details for you, then months later Smart Find points you to the exact box it is in

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.koalalab.storeandforget

Solo dev here. Store & Forget is a home inventory app for Android, and the whole idea is that you already own your stuff, you just cannot remember where you put it.

When you box something up, you snap a photo and the app fills in the item's details for you, so you are not typing out an inventory by hand. Then months later when you cannot find the thing, you open Smart Find, tap the item, and it shows you the exact box or shelf it is in so you can walk straight to it.

It is free to use, though the photo scan runs in the cloud, so it needs internet and a quick sign in, which is what keeps the free tier sustainable. If you would rather use your own AI key, the scans become unlimited and free. It is Android only for now, and it is a home inventory app rather than a document manager.

Happy to answer questions, and I am glad to hear where it falls short.

Store & Forget (my home inventory app) has one feature that costs me money every time someone uses it: an AI photo scan. I went with a free quota, consumable credits, and a bring-your-own-key bypass instead of a subscription. Where would you poke holes?

Store & Forget is a small Android app I built to catalog the stuff around your house. You snap a photo of an item, a cloud AI reads the picture and fills in the name, brand, and rough specs, and months later you can search your stuff or have it point you to the box you put it in. The catch on my side is that every one of those photo scans is a real API call I pay for. The cataloging, browsing, and keyword search cost me nothing to run, but the AI scan has a per-use cost that never goes away.

That killed the two pricing models I actually wanted. A one-time "pay once, scan forever" unlock sounds friendly, but a single heavy user could run thousands of scans and quietly cost me more than they ever paid. A subscription would cover it, but I hate subscriptions on small utility apps and so does everyone I'd want as a user.

So here's the model I landed on for Store & Forget. The whole app is free and ad-supported, and you get a batch of free AI scans to start, a few while logged out and twenty once you sign in. When those run out you either buy a pack of scan credits, where you only pay for what you actually use and the ads switch off, or you turn on a hidden setting and drop in your own AI key, at which point scanning is unlimited and free forever because you're paying the AI provider directly instead of me.

The part I keep going back and forth on is that last option. I built a clean bypass around my own paywall and handed it to exactly the power users who'd scan the most. Part of me thinks that's crazy. The other part thinks those users were never going to pay me anyway, they're the ones most likely to recommend the app, and letting them run it at cost buys more goodwill than the few dollars I'd ever squeeze out of them.

For anyone who's priced a feature with a real per-use cost, where does this fall apart? Does the credit pack read as nickel-and-diming next to just charging once and eating the risk on heavy users? And is handing power users a free bring-your-own-key path a real moat, or am I just talking myself out of revenue?

[App] [Promo] Store & Forget, a home inventory app: snap a photo of what you put away, the app fills in the details, and you find it later with no digging through every box (Android, free)

Free on Google Play, Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.koalalab.storeandforget

I am the solo dev on this, so fair warning, it is a promo. But I built it to fix a problem I actually have.

I own my stuff. I just can never remember where I put it. The spare charger, the good screwdriver, that one box of cables somewhere in the closet. I have bought a second one before I found the first.

Store & Forget is a home inventory app for exactly that. You put something away, snap a photo of it, and the app fills in the details for you, so the name and brand and rough specs are already there instead of you typing them out. If it gets something wrong, every field is editable, so a bad guess is a quick fix, not a form to fill.

If you are boxing up a whole drawer, lay the stuff out and take one photo, and it drafts a separate entry for each item for you to check before saving. That still counts as a single scan.

Then months later when you need the thing, you search a keyword, or you tap Smart Find and it points you to the box or shelf you actually put it in. No digging through every box. You can also print a QR label for a box, stick it on, and scan it later to pull up everything inside.

Everything you catalog lives on your phone, and the keyword search works with no connection. The photo scan and Smart Find both call a cloud AI service, so those two need internet. You can try it without an account. The full free scan quota needs a quick Google sign-in, mostly to keep the free tier sustainable. And if you would rather not be capped at all, there is a bring-your-own-key option where you drop in your own AI key and scan as much as you want.

Free, Android only for now. I would genuinely like feedback from this crowd on what is missing.

Solo dev here, my Android app, it's free. Store & Forget is a home inventory you build by photo. Snap something as you box it and the app fills in the details for you, the name and brand and so on, so you're not typing or tagging. Later you search by keyword or hit Smart Find and it points you to the exact box it's in, so you skip the digging.

You get a set of free photo scans to start. Once those run out the usual way to keep scanning is to buy scan credits, or watch an ad for a few more. There's also a hidden way I left in as an easter egg, where scans go unlimited and stay free for good on your own API key. Open your profile, go into Advanced Settings, and at the very bottom tap the little version number five times. A retro terminal pops up, type unlock byok, then paste in your own free API key. After that scans run off your own quota with no cap and no credits. If you'd rather not bother with a key, the free scans plus manual entry and search all work fine on their own.

Home inventory app, no typing or tags

Hey r/droidappshowcase,

Solo dev here. I made Store & Forget, a local-first home inventory app for the stuff you stash and forget (cables, tools, seasonal boxes). The whole point: you don't type or tag each item. You photograph it and the app fills in the details.

  • Snap a photo and it auto-fills the item (name, brand, specs). The photo scan uses a cloud AI service.
  • Find things later by keyword (item names, descriptions, box and location names), or tap Smart Find to search by meaning.
  • Local-first: your inventory is an on-device SQLite database, no account needed to add, browse, or search it. Optional backup to your own Google Drive.
  • The photo scan is free for a few tries, then a free Google sign-in unlocks the ongoing free quota. Power users can bring their own AI key for unlimited scans.

Solo dev, first real app: a home inventory that fills items in from a photo. Roast it.

I'm the solo dev, so this is me sharing something I made, not an ad.

My problem: I kept starting a home inventory to get organized, then quit, because every app wanted me to type in each item by hand. So I made one where you don't type. You photograph the item and it fills in the details for you (name, brand, specs, tags), and you tap once to save. The screenshots show that flow.

Finding things later works two ways: a plain keyword search, or a Smart Find button that searches by what you remember instead of the exact word you used.

The organizing part is the layout. You set up areas (rooms), then spots inside them (boxes, shelves, drawers), and every item shows exactly where it lives, like "Storage Room, Box A." So future you knows exactly where you put it, no digging through every box.

Honest scope so nobody is surprised:

- Android only. Works offline on a local database, and no account is needed to catalog, browse, or search.

- The photo scan uses a cloud AI service, so you get a few free scans while logged out, then a Google sign-in gives the full free allowance. The free tier has banner ads.

- Bring your own AI key and scans are unlimited (it is tucked behind a small easter egg in settings).

- Optional one-tap backup to Google Drive.

Built solo, first real app, so I would genuinely like to hear what feels clunky or breaks.
