What Shelfes does

Everything in Home is built around one question: where is it? These screens are from the app as it is today.

Photos of what's inside

Take a photo of an item or a box so you recognize it at a glance, then pick the one that shows up in lists.

  • Add photos from your phone's camera or your computer
  • Location data is removed from every photo you upload
  • One photo per item on the free plan, as many as you like on Premium

Receipts, warranties and value

Keep the receipt with the item, note what you paid and when the warranty ends, and get a reminder before it does.

  • Price paid, value today, serial number and condition on every item
  • Email reminders 30 and 7 days before a warranty ends
  • An insurance report as a PDF, with totals by location

QR labels and scanning

Print a label for any shelf, bin or box. Scan it with your phone to see what's inside without opening the lid.

  • Prints on Avery Letter and A4 sheets, Brother and Dymo label printers, or a label size you enter, with names in any language
  • Every label also has a short code you can type
  • Scan a product barcode to find the item, or add it with its name filled in from Open Food Facts

Search that gets you to the shelf

Type part of a name, a note or a tag and see where each match is. Narrow it down by location, category, photos or warranty.

  • Finds items even when you spell a word a little wrong
  • Filters stay in the address, so you can bookmark a search
  • Tags group things across rooms, like camping gear or tax papers

Shared with your household

Invite the people you live with. Everyone sees the same inventory, and you choose who can change it.

  • Up to 5 people on Premium
  • Owners, admins who can add and edit, and viewers who can look
  • Belong to more than one household and switch between them

Your data stays yours

Take a copy of everything whenever you like, on every plan, and delete your household when you are done.

  • Spreadsheets, a printable inventory, or a full archive with photos and receipts
  • Stored in Canada
  • Deleting a household removes it for good after a 30-day grace period

And the rest

  • Capture a whole shelf

    Take a photo of each thing in a box or on a shelf, one after another. Every photo becomes an item, and you name them now or later.

  • Change many items at once

    Select items to move them to another box, tag them keep or sell, print their labels or delete them together.

  • Import from a spreadsheet

    Already have a list? Upload a CSV file, match its columns, check the rows, and Shelfes creates the items and their locations.

  • Locations inside locations

    Floor, room, shelf, box and anything in between. There's no limit to how deep you can go.

  • A record of every move

    When you move something, Shelfes keeps where it was and when, so nothing just disappears.

  • Undo a deletion

    Deleted items and locations can be brought back for 30 days.

  • Readable on a weak signal

    Install the web app on your phone. What you opened recently stays readable in a basement with no signal.

  • English and French

    Use Shelfes in English or French. Switch whenever you like.

  • Suggestions from your photos

    On Premium, add a photo and Shelfes suggests a name, category and tags. Keep what fits. Photos never leave Shelfes.

  • Your own fields

    Add fields your household needs, like a model number or a room colour, and fill them in on any item.

Compare plans

Coming for businesses

Business plans are in development, starting with contractors and trades. Accounts you create today move to them without re-entering anything.

  • Stock on hand, by location

    Every receipt, transfer and use is recorded, so counts add up and nothing is overwritten.

  • Tool check-out

    See who has each tool, where it went and when it's due back.

  • Materials by project

    Send materials to a job site and see what each project used.

  • Works without signal

    Scan and update in basements and on remote sites. Changes sync when you're back online.
