Introduction

StoreIT is a self-hosted home inventory management system. It helps you track where everything in your home is stored — from tools in the garage to craft supplies in the closet.

Key Features

  • Hierarchical organization — Organize belongings as Locations > Containers > Items, with unlimited nesting
  • AI-powered identification — Snap a photo and AI identifies the item, generating searchable descriptions automatically
  • NFC tag support — Tap an NFC tag on a container to instantly see contents or move items
  • Full-text search — Find items by name, description, or AI-generated tags
  • Progressive Web App — Install on any phone or tablet; works offline
  • Single-binary deployment — One file to run, no external web server needed
  • Multi-user — Share inventory across family members with OIDC authentication

How It Works

StoreIT uses a simple hierarchy:

Home (Location)
├── Kitchen (Sub-Location)
│   ├── Drawer Left (Container)
│   │   ├── Scissors
│   │   ├── Tape
│   │   └── Markers
│   └── Cabinet Top (Container)
│       └── Small Box (Sub-Container)
│           ├── Batteries
│           └── Light Bulbs
└── Garage (Sub-Location)
    └── Shelf A (Container)
        ├── Drill
        └── Screwdriver Set

Locations are physical spaces (rooms, buildings). Containers hold items and can be nested. Items are the things you’re tracking.

Every entity can have photos attached. When you add an item by photo, the AI examines the image and suggests a name, description, and searchable tags — you just confirm or tweak.
