Add a location (your home, a storage unit), then an area inside it (attic, garage), then a container (a box, a drawer), then photograph your items and put them in it. Print a QR label for each container and stick it on.

A location is a place in the world (home, storage unit) and can have a pin on the map. An area is a part of it (attic, garage). A container is a box, drawer, cupboard, suitcase or shelf with its own QR label. An item is a thing inside a container.

Those items are not in any container, for example because their container was deleted and you chose to keep the items. Tap Review now to place each one.

So the route starts where you really are. Just before opening Apple Maps or Google Maps, FindMyItem reads your position once and passes it to that app as the start of the trip. Maps apps opened from another app sometimes start from an out-of-date position, which can show “1 minute” for a place that is really miles away. If you would rather not share it, say no: Directions still works, and the Maps app then decides where you are. FindMyItem does not keep the position.

iPhone with iOS 15 or later. Android is coming in November 2026.

Wait a couple of minutes and check your spam or junk folder: the email comes from FindMyItem. A code works for one hour. If it has expired, ask for a new one on the same screen. If it still does not arrive, write to us from the address you used.

On the sign-in screen choose Forgot password? We email a 6-digit code; enter it and choose a new password.

Not in the app yet. Write to us from your current address and we will help.

Sign in with your password and one of the eight recovery codes you saved when you turned two-factor on. Each recovery code works once. If you have no recovery codes either, write to us from your account’s email address and we will help where we can.

Settings, Signed-in devices. You can sign out one device or all the others.

Settings, Delete account. The app asks you to confirm it is you, then permanently removes your account, your inventory and your photos from our servers and clears this phone. This cannot be undone. You can create a new account with the same email address afterwards. If you signed up with Apple you can also remove FindMyItem under your Apple ID, Sign in with Apple, in iOS Settings.

The preview on the Print labels screen shows roughly how one label will look. Start with “Code only”: it shows the QR and its short code, and nobody can tell what is in the box.

Make sure the QR is flat, clean and well lit, try the flashlight button on the Scan tab, or print a larger size. You can always type the short code printed under the QR (for example K7Q-3MX) on the Scan tab instead.

Open the container, open its label screen and make a new code. The old code stops working.

To read QR codes. Nothing is recorded or uploaded when you scan. You can still type a short code if you decline.

Settings, Backup and restore: save a backup file (with photos and working QR labels) and restore it on the new phone. If you just sign in to your account on the new phone, your inventory syncs down by itself.

Yes. Settings, Export inventory: a spreadsheet (CSV), a printable PDF with photos, or a ZIP of your photos. You can also import a spreadsheet, and undo the last import.

Yes. Everything is saved on your phone first and syncs when you are online. The cloud icon on Home shows when you are offline.

Not yet. Sharing is not available in this version.

Tap Undo in the message that appears for a few seconds. Items you marked sold, donated or lost can be put back from Removed items. Deleting an item asks first and cannot be undone.
