Solo dev here. Store & Forget is a home inventory app for the stuff you box up and forget, the cables and tools and seasonal things. You snap a photo of something as you put it away and the app fills in the details for you, the name and brand and specs, and months later you type a plain word or tap Smart Find and it shows you the exact box or shelf it went into, so you walk straight to it.

The codes first, because those will go quickly. Below are 10 one-time codes that switch off the banner ads for good. That unlock is $2.99 in the store, a little less in some regions. These only work inside the app, so you need it installed and signed in with Google, which is also what ties the unlock to your account so it survives a reinstall. Open the Profile tab, tap the Upgrade button, and paste the code into the "Have a code?" box at the bottom of the sheet. First come first served, and each code stops working the moment somebody uses it.

What went live this week is that you can now share an inventory with the people you live with. That was the gap in the whole idea. The person who put the thing away is almost never the person going to look for it, so a private inventory really only works if you live alone. Now your partner or your roommate opens their own phone, searches the same words, and lands on the same shelf.

You invite someone by having them scan a QR code, or by sending them a short code if they are not in the room. You choose what they get: an editor can add and change things, a viewer can only look, and a viewer genuinely cannot edit, the server checks it as well as the screen does. Inventories other people share with you sit in their own tab so they never mix into yours. Joining costs nothing, and an invite expires on its own and can be revoked.

On privacy, since somebody always asks and fairly so. The contents of a shared inventory, the item details and the photos, are encrypted on your phone before they upload, and the key is generated on your device, so what sits on my server is ciphertext I cannot read. Two things I would rather say myself than have you find: the inventory's own name is stored in plain text, and saving any item sends that item's text to a cloud service so the search-by-meaning index can be built, whether you share it or not.

If you miss the codes there is a second thing worth having, and that one is free for everybody. The $6.99 unlock that lets you plug in your own AI key and run unlimited scans is sitting behind a hidden easter egg right now: open Settings, tap the version number at the bottom five times, then type unlock byok. You sign in with Google so it saves to your account and survives a reinstall. I am removing that path in an update around mid August, and anyone who turns it on keeps it.

The rest is straightforward. Free to use, Android only, your inventory is a database on your own phone, and backup to your own Google Drive is optional. The photo scan runs on a cloud AI service, so the free tier gives you a set number of scans and shows the banner that those codes turn off.

Happy to answer anything, and I would like to hear from anyone who shares a place with more stuff than shelf space.
