  • Use the + / − quantity controls to update stock quickly.
  • See which items are running low on the Low Stock page.
  • Build a Shopping List from inventory items, low-stock items, or manually added items.

  2. Open Dashboard and confirm your household name and item counts look right.
  3. Open Inventories and create an inventory, add a location, and add a few items.
  4. Use the + and − quantity buttons on an item. Quantity stops at 0.
  5. Add items to the Shopping List from an inventory, or add them manually on the Shopping List page.
  6. Open Household to rename your household, invite members, or switch households.
  7. Use Feedback to report anything confusing, broken, or unclear.

Sign-in and accounts

Email and password

  • Create an account with any email address and a password.
  • A verification link is sent to your email. Click it to activate your account before signing in.
  • Link lost or expired? Sign up again with the same email and we'll send a link to choose your password and finish your account.
  • Forgot your password? Use Forgot password on the sign-in page.

Google sign-in

  • Sign in with any Google Account. Non-Gmail addresses work if they are attached to a Google Account.
  • To switch Google accounts, use Sign out in the navigation header first.

Accepting an invite

  • Invite links must be accepted using the account that matches the email the invite was sent to.
  • For Google sign-in: if the wrong account is picked automatically, sign out and try again with the correct one.
  • If sign-in keeps failing, clear your browser cookies for this site, then try again. Contact us via Feedback if the problem persists.

Households and access

  • Access is managed at the household level. Each household has its own inventories and members.
  • Household members can access inventories according to their role: owner, admin, editor, or viewer.
  • You can belong to multiple households and switch between them from the Household page.
  • Inventory-level permissions are not available yet. All members in a household share the same access level per their role.
  • Empty households can be deleted. Households with inventories or other members cannot be deleted until emptied.

Current limitations

  • AI-assisted input (photo, voice) is not available yet on web or mobile.
  • Barcode scanning is available on the mobile app only, not on web.
  • Finance budgets and spend tracking are available on the mobile app only, not on web.
  • Store integrations, prices, aisle mapping, and checkout are not available yet.
  • Inventory-level permissions are not available yet. All household members share the same access level per their role.

  • Broad household deletion (when data exists) is not available. Remove all inventories and members first.
