    Home inventory app with lending built in

    Know what you have, where it is, and who has it.

    Photograph what's in your storage unit, garage or home and find it from your phone. Lend things, and ShmoStuff sends the reminders. Free for unlimited items.

    How it works

    1. Step 1: Add

      Photograph it and give it a name. Add a value and serial number if you want.

    2. Step 2: Place

      Put it in a room, on a shelf or in a tote. Scan a code to find it later.

    3. Step 3: Lend

      Lend it with reminders, and see who has what.

    What brought you here?

    Organize a storage unit, garage or home

    See what's in every tote from home. Set up the place once, add shelves and totes, then add items as you go.

    • Photo, name, next

      Take a photo, type a name, press Enter. The camera stays ready for the next one.

    • Any barcode or QR code

      Put any label on a tote or shelf, or use the barcode already on a product. Scan a tote to see everything in it.

    • Works with no signal

      Storage units and basements often have no signal. What you add is saved on your phone and uploads when you're back.

    Short on time? Photograph the open tote, type what's inside, and split it into items later.

    Items, photos and places are free and unlimited.

    Lend things and get them back

    Track the things you lend, like tools, games and camping gear. ShmoStuff keeps track of who has what and when it's due, and sends the reminders so you don't have to ask.

    Reminders go out for you

    3 days before it's due, on the due date, then every 3 days while it's late, up to 4 times.

    • Sam confirms they got it

      Sam gets a link by text or email and confirms with a one-time code. No app or password needed.

    • Photos and “I agree”, with the time on each step

      Ask for condition photos at pickup and return. Sam agrees to the value, the condition and the due date, and every step is timestamped.

    No email or number for Sam? Lend by name, and Sam can confirm on your phone.

    Free for up to 10 items out at once. Email reminders are free. Text reminders come with Pro.

    Your stuff stays private

    • Your codes show strangers nothing. A code opens your stuff only inside ShmoStuff, for you and the people you share it with.
    • Borrowers see only what you lend them.
    • Photos stay private.
    • Recommending ShmoStuff gives a storage facility or an insurance agent no access to anyone's stuff.

    Why we built ShmoStuff

    A friend kept lending out her chairs and tables for events, and kept forgetting who had them. An insurance agent I know, with a storage unit of his own, told me the same list could help him find things in his unit and prove what he owns if it's ever stolen or lost in a fire. So I built ShmoStuff to do all three: know what you have, where it is, and who has it.

    For storage facilities

    Point your customers to ShmoStuff. There's nothing to set up, no login and no dashboard, and being a partner gives you no access to anyone's stuff.

    Storage facilities

    Give your customers an easy way to know what's in their unit. They photograph each tote, scan any label, and find things from home. It works with no signal inside the unit.

    We'll make you a link of your own. When customers sign up through it, we know they came from you.

    Ask for a partner link

    Partners get a link to share. They never get access to anyone's account.
