home inventory<\/a> app is interesting, but that alone doesn’t make a strong case for recommending the Find my stuff to garage owners.<\/p>\nFind my stuff is my go-to inventory app because it ticks all the right boxes.<\/p>\n
After installing the app and going through a few steps during the setup, the first thing I did was create containers in the app.<\/p>\n
I own a medium-sized garage, and creating 20 such containers was enough for me.<\/p>\n
Previously, I knew some items were somewhere in the garage, but I couldn’t remember their exact locations. The Container feature is designed to help you in this type of situation.<\/p>\n
My garage has numerous shelves, so I created one container in the Find my stuff app for each. The next step was to add items to those containers.<\/p>\n
I grouped similar items in one container instead of putting random things in. This makes the physical garage and the Find my stuff app more organized.<\/p>\n
This way, you’ll never forget where an item is in your garage.<\/p>\n
You can also create a container within a container in the Find my stuff app. I created a handful of nested containers, but I took photos of every item I added to a specific container to find them faster.<\/p>\n
After adding an item, I get an edit option, allowing me to type a short description, quantity, price, tags, purchase date, warranty expiration, receipt photo, bar code, and more.<\/p>\n
In addition to taking photos, I always mention the number of each item when adding something to the list.<\/p>\n
Although I didn’t need to use it, Find my stuff offers a handy feature that lets you export all the items in a container.<\/p>\n
These features are already good enough for me to organize my garage, but if you need more advanced features, the app has you covered.<\/p>\n
However, you’ll have to pay to use them. You can either pay a one-time fee of $14.99 to get access to all those pro capabilities, or pay for an individual premium capability, costing $3.99 each.<\/p>\n
Find my stuff did something more than organize my garage<\/p>\n

Had I not tried the Find my stuff app, I’d never have been able to organize my messy garage the way I wanted.<\/p>\n
The results were undoubtedly satisfying. My garage finally became a decent one with ample space to park my vehicle.<\/p>\n
While it took some time to catalog everything in the garage, at no point did it feel boring. On the contrary, it was more fun, as I rediscovered plenty of handy tools I forgot I owned.<\/p>\n
The rediscovery prevented me from buying duplicates. I’m also certain the Android app will reduce the chances of buying duplicates in the future.<\/p>\n
The next time I need something, I’ll first open the Find my stuff app and check whether I already own the item.<\/p>\n
I found three duplicates while cataloging, so there was a good chance that I would’ve made the same mistake had I not used the inventory management app.<\/p>\n
In addition to helping me organize my garage, Find my stuff saves me money, which I can spend on buying one of the advanced features if I ever need one.<\/p>\n
I’ll never go back to organizing my garage without an inventory app<\/p>\n
Now that I’ve started using Find my stuff, I can’t imagine trying to put my garage in order all by myself without an inventory app.<\/p>\n
It’s only been a few days since I started using Find my stuff, so I don’t think I’ll remain a loyalist to the app without trying out its alternatives.<\/p>\n
I’m sticking to Find my stuff for now, but I’m keen on trying some of its open source alternatives that I can self-host on my private server, like I recently did with Joplin<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I’m not a real estate consultant, but I’m a strong advocate of building detached garages.
