Know what you have and where it is.

The name モノ蔵
A storehouse for your things.
Mono means things. A kura is a thick-walled Japanese storehouse, built to keep things safe from fire.
What it does
- Locations
- Group things by where they are: the garage, a closet, a storage unit.
- Nested items
- Items can hold other items. A box in a bin on a shelf is three levels, and you can keep going.
- Photos
- Add as many as you need to each item.
- Details
- Add notes, or your own fields like quantity, value, purchase date, or serial number, for every item or only for items with a certain tag. Fill in as much or as little as you like.
- Tags
- Colored tags, grouped into categories like Rooms, Condition, and Type.
- iCloud sync
- Turn on sync to keep your catalog the same on all your devices, through your own iCloud.
- Export
- Export your inventory and restore it later.

Search
Describe it the way you would say it out loud.
MonoKura searches names, notes, tags, and the photos themselves. It recognizes what is in a picture and reads any text on it, so you don't need to remember what you called something.
This all happens on your device.
- winter jackets
- the charger with the orange cable
- the box with my passport
Privacy
Your catalog is yours.
There is no account. Your items, photos, and notes stay on your device, and in your own iCloud if you turn on sync.
The details are in the privacy policy.

Hi, I'm Joris. I make MonoKura.
It began as a way to keep track of where things ended up after a move, and grew into the app on this page.
