A free iOS app that helps you remember where you put the things you don’t use every day [App Update]

Hey everyone —

I’ve been building an iOS app called WhereMate, designed for the kinds of things you don’t use often — but when you need them again, you have no idea where they went.

It’s completely free and works fully offline (no accounts, no cloud storage — your data stays on your device).

📦 Perfect for:
• Important documents, receipts, and records
• Seasonal items like holiday gear, camping supplies, or tax folders
• Tools, spare parts, or anything you “put somewhere safe”

I’ve been building it solo for a while, and just shipped a pretty big update:
• Quick Snap: capture and caption in one tap
• New editors + tile (“square”) selectors
• Add without photo: for quick voice or text entries
• Home screen widgets: now three options
• QR Designer: style and print QR labels; scan to jump straight to your containers or items
• Inventory search: find things by name, label, or note
• Backup & Restore: export/import data, save photos to the Photos app

Because it’s fully local, uninstalling will remove your data — so make sure to export a backup first (Home → Export).

Would love feedback from other indie devs or anyone interested in privacy-friendly productivity tools.
