My yarn stash is now a library. I went from "do I own ochre?" to "I own four ochres and one of them is on sale right now at the store next to me."

Section 01 Β· The premise
Your home isn't a mess.
It's a collection with poor search.
The category's default pitch is "your house is chaos, we'll rescue you." We find that rude. Your things are your things. You chose most of them on purpose.
What's missing isn't order. It's an index β a quiet second brain that remembers what's in the bin on the top shelf, what you paid for the drill, which skein you bought in ReykjavΓk, and where the good serving platter is hiding this year.
stuft.in is a card catalog for the things you already live with. Photograph once, find forever. The house stays exactly as opinionated as it always was.
No "before & after" shots. No decluttering homework. If a bin is full of joy and
last year's Halloween β that's the bin. We just want to know where it is.
How the catalog gets built.
3 acts Β· ~10 minutes each
i.
Photograph once, in any light.
Point your phone. Snap what's in the bin, the drawer, the high shelf. stuft.in resizes, backs up, and remembers where it lives. It also remembers that it lives with the drill bits.
From photo to indexed
β 11 seconds Β· no AI Β· no cloud required Β· just you & the camera
ii.
Label in the language you already use.
"Winter stuff." "The Costco run." "Stuff Dad said to save." Tag however makes sense at 10 PM with a label maker in your hand. No schemas. No forced categories.
Tag freely
63 avg per household Β· free-form strings Β· searchable forever
iii.
Find it from wherever you are.
From the couch. From aisle 14. From the other continent. Your whole catalog opens in your pocket β photographs, locations, values, the voice note you left yourself when you packed it.

Angle 01 β Photographic memory
A photographic memory that happens to live in your purse.
You already carry the camera. stuft.in just writes things down. When you're at the hardware store wondering if you still have the half-inch stuff β open the app, see the shelf.
It's less "organizing system" and more remembering everything without having to.
- 01 Snap a bin. It's on file forever.
- 02 Scan a QR. The contents read themselves out.
- 03 Search "windex." Find all three bottles.

Angle 02 β Stewardship of a life
Every object is a small promise someone made to something.
The good china from your grandmother. The drill your dad handed down. The snowboard you'll teach your kid on in three years. You're not "managing stock." You're keeping track of a life.
stuft.in is the record your future self (or your next of kin) will quietly thank you for. Values, receipts, stories, a voice memo from the day you got it.
- 04 Values tracked for insurance β print-ready.
- 05 Photos hold up in court, in moves, in memory.
- 06 Export everything. It's your catalog, not ours.
From the reading room.
We moved houses. Every box was numbered and scannable. The insurance adjuster asked for a list. I handed him a PDF. He blinked.
My kid can now look up "Windex" and find all three bottles without asking me. This is, genuinely, the quietest my house has ever been.

It takes about as long to start cataloguing as it takes to find the scissors the normal way. (Estimated: one bin.)
