Checkbook Ink. Intake Drift Bins. Fidgit Deck Contact

See inside every box, without opening it.

You own it. You just cannot find it. Basic Bins turns your storage into an inventory you can search: photograph things as they go in and they name themselves, stick a label on the box, and months later ask your phone instead of digging.

Free for one location and 50 items. Premium $59.99 a year.

Tap a location.

Adding things

Point, shoot, it names itself.

Photograph what goes in the box. The name writes itself while you keep packing.

If it guesses wrong, fixing it is one tap, and nothing ever waits on you to finish a form. You catalog at the speed you can pack, not the speed you can type.

Camera naming is included on the free plan.

Locations, boxes, items

Not everything lives in a box.

Locations hold boxes. Boxes hold items. The bike, the ladder, and the floor lamp live loose in the location, because a box was never going to hold them.

Move an item to another box, or move a whole box to another location. A note or a count goes on anything: six folding chairs, the drill that is missing its charger.

Take out, put back

Know who has the camp stove.

Take something out and your name goes on it. Anyone in the household can see who has it and for how long, and putting it back clears it.

QR labels

Stick a label on it, scan it later.

Every box gets a QR label. It prints on plain paper or sticker sheets from your own printer, so there is nothing to buy.

Scan it with the iPhone Camera and the whole box comes up. No opening, no digging, no pulling a tote down from a shelf to find out it is the wrong one.

Scanning this with the iPhone Camera opens Basic Bins straight to this box.

Household sharing Premium

Their garage, in your app.

Storage is rarely one person’s problem. Invite the people you live with and you all see the same bins, all add to them, and all know what left.

Whoever you invite joins free.

No account to create. Your locations, boxes, items, and photos sync across your own devices through iCloud, and they live in your iCloud, not on our servers.

Export a backup any time and keep it wherever you like. Print the inventory for insurance, a move, or an estate, with replacement values totaled box by box, or open the whole thing as a spreadsheet.

    Your inventory as a spreadsheet

    Export your whole inventory as a spreadsheet from Settings. One row per item, values that add up, and it opens in Numbers, Excel and Google Sheets.

  2. 02

    Restores that wait for iCloud

    Restoring a backup on a new phone waits for iCloud to finish loading your library first, so nothing ends up in twice.
