Author Organizes Garage With 20 App Containers, Finding 3 Duplicates
1 articles · Updated · Android Police · Jul 7
Summary
A messy detached garage pushed the author to use the Android app Find my stuff, which helped catalog belongings and uncover three duplicate items that could have triggered unnecessary purchases.
Using 20 containers—mostly mapped to individual shelves—the author grouped similar items, added nested containers, and logged photos, quantities, tags, receipts, barcodes, and warranty details.
That setup turned the cleanup into a searchable inventory, freeing enough space to park a vehicle again while surfacing forgotten tools the author had not realized were still in the garage.
Find my stuff’s core features were enough for the project, while paid upgrades cost either a $14.99 one-time fee or $3.99 per premium feature.
Only a few days into using the app, the author says inventory software is now essential for garage organization, though open-source self-hosted alternatives may still be tested.
