Practical guide

Home inventory privacy

A list of valuable items can be sensitive, so SchowajTo does not send it to its own server and provides full export.

Safe practice

A JSON backup after major changes and a separate secure storage location.

How to apply this method

Choose one specific location or process stage.
Give it a readable name and short code.
Record information when putting an item away or closing a box.
Create a backup after a major change.

Most common mistake

Descriptions such as “basement” or “miscellaneous” do not reduce search time. Use an exact zone, shelf and container code.

What to do next

Create the first location and test the complete process with a few items. The system must be easier than remembering, otherwise it will not be maintained.

FAQ

Do I need to record every small object?

No. Start with frequently lost items, valuable equipment and closed boxes.

Is data sent to a server?

No. The core database is stored locally in the user’s browser.

What should I do before changing devices?

Download a JSON backup and import it on the new device.
