So I just got done programming the best home inventory management software. I wanted it to be free and easy to use for all my friends, neighbors and subscribers. Last September, I hit the big 50. I have stuff I never knew I had. A person accumulates things over time naturally. Then there was stuff that I knew I had but could not find it. Oh, my, how frustrating that was! I would end up buying the same item repeatedly. Many times I would have like 4 or 5 of the same item. This was driving me crazy, so here is what I did.

Home Inventory Bins
My next plan of attack was to buy a lot of bins from Wal-Mart, Dollar general and other places. AH HA, I thought, I’ll just store them all in bins! Problem solved, right? Wrong! Now I have 50 bins and did not know what is in each bin. I spent my life organizing other people’s businesses and did not even know where my stuff was. What a hypocrite, I thought to myself. I’m like the auto body worker that drives around a rust pile, lol.
Home Inventory Management Software
This is when my brainstorm moved in, hey I’ll just download home inventory management software. While looking for the app and software, I ran into all kinds of red flags. I did not want to buy a subscription; I wanted it to be fast, track value, upload picture, be secure, etc. All the searching that I did, I could find nothing that matched my criteria.
Programming Home Inventory Software
Well, the programming software logic was coming to me. I had several enormous projects that I was working on, but if I could just spend a couple of hours a day, I could make it work. I have a rule that I only program for 90 minutes at a time. After that, I am fried and have to get off the computer. Besides, I have a Belgian Malinois puppy and he requires a lot of exercise and time. Isn’t he cute!
For The Non-Programmers Features

Alternative Home Inventory Apps
OK, just to be fair, I’ll list the alternative home inventory apps. There is a catch with each one of these. I programmed mine to be free and fast because Home Inventory is not my business just something that I need to have. My app also works on all devices, no matter what they are! Here are the apps that I checked out.

Hey, very nice app. I can see that your online version is updated a lot since the first version. Is there any chance of getting do download the updated php files for the updates you have done to the inventory app?
HI Morton, thanks. Yes I still have a little more I want to get done then I am going to make another post with the updated files. If you subscribe you will be notified with I do! 🙂 Thanks!
Hi Maximus, i have been thinking about this app for the last week, and i have several improvements i would like to propose to you for this app. But i would really like to get my hand on the source files for your latest updated version of the app before i can start suggesting new functions and so on. And i would really like to be able to do some testing on my local installation before i send you any suggestions. So as you can see i am waiting to get my local installation upgraded to your latest version to be able to go forward with using and sending you questions about new features and so on 🙂 I hope i may get my hands on the latest source files sooner than later to be able to move forward 🙂 Kind regards, Morten
Sure thing, Ill work on that today. I just have to get my private API stuff out of there. I have not forgotten about it, just been real busy on things lately, lol
Here is the file you have been waiting for. Password is my first name, all lowercase. 🙂 Enjoy
I added a category field in the merch table and I believe I have edited all of the relevant files to take that field into consideration. Have you thought about adding a category field to the online application?
Yes I added it to the location or category in addition I added “tags” to the “bins” because they both function in the same way as a category.
OK, I see…the online application is set up so that you can enter a location or category in the location field. I just entered a separate field for the category so that there is a location and category field. As for the tags, I have to read up some more about them, as I am not sure how they really work.
