Why SmartStorage is being built
As boxes and stored items increase, it becomes difficult to find things later. SmartStorage is designed to make storage searchable.
Currently in development for iPhone and iPad
A simple storage inventory app for boxes, items, and locations.
SmartStorage is an iOS app currently in development to help manage storage boxes, item records, photos, barcodes, QR labels, and storage locations from one clean interface.

About SmartStorage
After storing things in boxes, shelves, cabinets, or storage rooms, it is easy to forget where items are. SmartStorage is being built to make storage easier through photos, records, label management, and search.
SmartStorage is currently in development and is not yet available on the App Store.
This website is the official development information page for the project.
Planned Features
The app is designed for practical storage work at home, in offices, warehouses, collection rooms, and other real-life storage spaces.
Box Management
Create storage boxes, add photos, assign categories, and connect each box to a storage location.
Item Management
Record names, descriptions, manufacturers, models, barcodes, serial numbers, quantities, prices, and notes.
Location Management
Organize by area, storage site, rack, shelf, and position so items are easier to find.
Photo Records
Add multiple photos to boxes and items, making it easier to identify things visually.
Barcode Scanning
Use the iPhone or iPad camera to scan barcodes and speed up item entry.
QR Label Support
Planned QR label printing will help users open box and item records quickly.

Development Notes
Public notes about the design direction and purpose of SmartStorage.
A box-first design
In real storage work, knowing which box contains an item is important, so the app is designed around practical box management.
Detailed item records
The app is planned to record practical details such as descriptions, manufacturers, models, barcodes, serial numbers, quantities, prices, and notes.
Faster barcode entry
Camera barcode scanning is being tested to reduce repetitive typing during item registration.
Visual management with photos
Photos help users recognize stored items faster than text alone, so photo support is an important part of the app.
Storage location hierarchy
Area, storage site, rack, shelf, and position fields help make the physical location of each box clearer.
QR label workflow
The goal is to scan a QR code on a physical box and quickly open the related box record.
Using iPhone and iPad together
iPad is useful for browsing and organizing records, while iPhone is convenient for photos and barcode scanning.
Search-focused workflow
The app focuses on quick search by item name, box name, barcode, category, or storage location.
Future improvements
Future plans include label printing improvements, external scanner support, and multi-device workflows.
