First Steps

After starting StoreIT, open http://localhost:8080 in your browser (or your server’s address).

Create Your First Location

1. You’ll see an empty home page with an Add Location button
2. Click it, enter a name (e.g., “Kitchen”, “Garage”, “Office”)
3. Optionally add a description and photo
4. Click Create

Your location appears immediately.

Add a Container

1. Navigate into a location by clicking on it
2. Click the + button and select Add Container
3. Name it (e.g., “Top Shelf”, “Drawer Left”, “Blue Box”)
4. Click Create

Containers can be nested — open a container and add sub-containers the same way.

Add an Item

There are two ways to add items:

Quick Add (with AI)

1. Navigate to the location or container where the item lives
2. Click Add Item
3. Take a photo or select one from your gallery
4. The AI identifies the item and suggests a name, description, and tags
5. Review and adjust the suggestions, then click Create

Manual Add

1. Go to /add or use the bottom navigation
2. Enter the item name and description manually
3. Select where it’s stored
4. Click Create

Search for Items

Use the search bar at the top of any page. StoreIT searches across item names, descriptions, and AI-generated tags. Results show the full location path so you know exactly where to find things.

Install as an App

StoreIT is a Progressive Web App. On your phone:

• iOS: Open in Safari → tap Share → “Add to Home Screen”
• Android: Open in Chrome → tap the install prompt or Menu → “Install app”

This gives you a full-screen app experience with offline support.
