Home Inventory | Home Management App

Who it helps

Anyone who has hunted for a warranty in a drawer, guessed at the last furnace service date, or lost the receipt for an appliance right when it was needed. Home Inventory is a home management app that keeps everything about a household in one place, so the answer is a search away instead of a search through filing cabinets.

What it keeps track of

• Items, organized by room and category, with brand, model and serial number.
• Warranties, linked to the item they cover.
• Maintenance schedules, with what is coming due and a log of what has been done.
• Vehicles, with service records.
• A document library for manuals, receipts and household paperwork. Text recognition reads scanned documents, so a search finds a page by what is written on it.

What it does for the household

• Everything findable in one place. A model number, a warranty end date or a scanned manual turns up from one search box.
• Maintenance on time. The schedule shows what is due next, so filters, service visits and vehicle upkeep stop depending on memory.
• Ready when it matters. When an appliance breaks or an insurance claim comes up, the item, its receipt and its paperwork are already together.
• Private by design. The data stays on a local database at home instead of a third-party cloud service.

For your technical team

• Next.js with the App Router, React and TypeScript.
• SQLite for local-first storage, with Zod validation across the data models.
• Per-item document folders, plus a document library with OCR text extraction for full-text search.
• Bulk import from retailer purchase exports and spreadsheets.
• Sharp for image thumbnails and optimization.
• Home Assistant integration that links inventory items to smart home entities.
