How It Works

Set up in a few minutes.

1

Create a bin

Add items yourself, or upload a photo and let AI identify everything inside.

2

Print a QR label

Stick it on the box, shelf, or drawer. Customize the format, colors, and style.

3

Scan to find anything

Scan any label with your phone to see what's inside. Or search by name, tag, or area.

Photo in. Inventory out.

Three steps from messy drawer to organized bin. AI does the heavy lifting.

Questions

No. AI is optional. It speeds up cataloging but everything works without it. Bring your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini if you want it.

Yes. Self-host on your own hardware and your data never leaves your network. The cloud version stores data on managed infrastructure. No telemetry, no analytics, no third-party sharing.

It's open source. Your self-hosted instance keeps running. Cloud users can export everything (bins, items, photos, tags) in one click.

Yes. Create a location, share an invite code. Three roles (admin, member, viewer) control who can edit and who can only browse.

One Docker container and a few hundred megabytes of disk space. Works on a Raspberry Pi.

Yes. Self-hosted OpenBin includes an MCP server that lets AI assistants read and manage your inventory directly. Generate an API key and point your AI tool at it.

Stop searching. Start finding.

Free to self-host. Cloud if you'd rather not.
