About this app
What Binventory does
Binventory turns the chaos of unmarked storage bins into a searchable, private library that lives entirely on your iPhone. Create a bin, assign it a location (attic, garage, storage unit, spare room) and a color, then add the items inside — each with a photo, quantity and optional tags. When you need something, just search: Binventory shows the exact bin name, number and location in seconds, so you never tear apart a stack of totes again. Built for movers, downsizers, seasonal storers and anyone who has ever opened five wrong boxes looking for one thing. • Organize bins by location with color coding and custom numbers • Add items with photos, quantities and free-form tags • Full-text search across every bin and every item at once • Browse by location or scan a single bin's contents • 100% offline — SwiftData on-device, no account required • No QR codes, no stickers, no recurring fees

Current workarounds — sticky notes, spreadsheets, phone photos in a camera roll — have no search, no location awareness and are aba…
What's different
How Binventory stands out
A bin-first, location-aware inventory built purely for physical storage rather than insurance claims or business stock. Unlike Sortly (business pivot, 100-item free cap) or Encircle (discontinued consumer tier Dec 2025) or ToteScan (requires branded stickers), Binventory is QR-less, fully offline, has no item cap on t…
