- Name, type, brand and model fill themselves in. Correct anything it got wrong.
- Pick the room and save.
16 stops
A tour of Remembry.
A guided look at what the app does, with the screen beside each thing. These are 16 of the 101 things in the Index — the ones that show best in a picture. Each stop says whether it is free or part of Premium.

Entering your items
Start here: get your things in.
The features below come alive when you've added some things. There are different ways to do it because the right one depends on whether you're holding a phone, a box, or a spreadsheet. A free account holds 100 items and 20 AI scans a month ; Premium removes the monthly limit.
Rooms and containers
Attic → blue bin → camera. A real map, not a flat list.
- Browse opens on your rooms. Tap one to see what is in it.
- Add a container to a room, a bin or a drawer or a shelf, and put items in it.
- Anything you look for later comes back as room, then container.
Finding what you own
Find any of it again?
A hundred things in boxes is a worse problem than a hundred things on the floor — unless you wrote down which box.
Search everything
By name, room, container or type.
- Type any part of a name, a room, a container or a type.
- Tap a result to see where it is and what is with it.
Renewals and upkeep
Stop paying for things you forgot about?
The subscription you meant to cancel two months ago renews every March.
Subscription renewals
A nudge seven days out, one day out, and the morning of.
- Add a subscription and give it its renewal date.
- Upkeep lists it with everything else that falls due, soonest first.
- An optional nudge arrives seven days out, one day out, and the morning of.
Moving helper
Pack without forgetting anything?
Packing lists usually start from a blank page. Yours can start from what you actually own.
Let it build the list
Trip, dates and weather in; a customized list out.
- New list, then a trip. Give it the destination and the dates.
- It checks the weather and builds the list, matched to what you already own.
- Take off what you do not need. Add what it missed.
Lending and borrowing
Lend the drill instead of storing it?
You use it twice a year. Four people on your street are about to buy one.
Lend to neighbors
List the things you rarely use or borrow instead of buying that rarely used item.
- Set your neighborhood. Only a rough area is ever shown.
- Open any item you rarely use and set its visibility to Neighborhood.
- When someone asks to borrow it, you approve, and only then do they see how to reach you.
Nobody sees your address
Neighbors see a rough area about three miles across. Never your name, never a door.
- Your location is kept as a rough square about three miles across, never as an address.
- A borrower sees how to reach you only after you approve their request.
Collections
Make something of a collection?
Some things you own aren't inventory. They're a collection, and they deserve to be shown as one.
The bar
Bottle silhouettes wearing your own photographed labels, on a shelf you pick the theme for.
- Add a bottle by photographing its label, or scan a whole shelf at once.
- Each one stands on the shelf as a silhouette wearing its own label.
- Pick the shelf's theme.
Drink recipes
Thirty-eight classics, matched against what's actually on your shelf.
- Thirty-eight classics, sorted by what you can make tonight from the bottles on your shelf.
- Tap a bottle in the bar to see only its drinks.
The gallery wall
Hang what you own on a wall, in real frames, with a proper wall label beside each piece.
- Add a piece as art, with a photo of it.
- The gallery hangs it in a frame with a wall label: title, artist, year.
- Change the frames and the wall from the gallery's settings.
The record store
Your vinyl in crates you can flip through, with dividers that fall where a shop would put them.
- Add a record by scanning its barcode. The cover comes from Discogs.
- Flip through the crates. Dividers fall where a shop would put them.
Books and reading
Do something with the books?
A shelf of books is a list you already own. It is worth reading, lending and arguing about.
Scan a shelf of books
Point the camera down a shelf and the spines come back as separate books.
- One close shot along the shelf, spines readable.
- Each spine comes back as its own book with its cover. Drop any it misread.
- Save. They land on your shelf in the library.
Selling and moving on
Turn the spare room back into a room?
The hard part of selling a thing is never the thing. It is the listing, the strangers, and giving out your email.
A fact sheet for the buyer
The systems and appliances that stay with the house — make, model, install date, warranty, who serviced it and when — on one page a buyer can hold. Owner-reported, and never a serial number.
- Mark what stays with the house: on an appliance or system, Conveys with home.
- Open the fact sheet. Anything missing an install date or a service record is pointed out, so you can fill it in first.
- Save the PDF, or hand it to your agent. Serial numbers stay with you.
A garage sale page
Your whole sale as one public page with a link and a QR code. No app needed to browse it.
- Your live sale opens, if you have one. If not, tap New sale and add the things you marked to sell.
- Under the QR code: Copy link, or Share. Show the code on your phone, or print it for the sign at the end of the drive.
- Buyers browse it in a browser. No app, no account.
A reply address that is not yours
Publish a Remembry address instead of your own. Buyers write to it, you read it here, and your real inbox never appears.
Your data, and who can read it
Know who can read any of this?
A list of everything you own is worth protecting more carefully than most of what is on it.
A vault only you can open
The key is made on your device and wrapped with your passphrase using Argon2id. Remembry stores the wrapped key and the encrypted fields — never the key itself, and never your passphrase. Translation - sealed items are encrypted and not visible to us or others.
- Choose a passphrase.
- Write down the recovery code it gives you. Nobody can reissue it.
- Seal any item. Five are free, and the sealed fields leave the phone as ciphertext.
That is 16 of 101.
Free to start, and most of what you saw stays free: 100 items, 20 AI scans a month, reminders, lending and packing lists. No card, and no trial that quietly turns into a bill.
