Hob: Home Inventory

The extension lead, the passports, the tree decorations, the winter boots waiting for the younger one: write a thing down once, and the hob tells you where it is. He reminds you what's lent and overdue, what a child has grown into and what's gathering dust. Free, no ads, no account, works offline. A hob is the house spirit of English folklore; in Russian he is the domovoi, who lives behind the stove and keeps the house in order. 🏠 YOUR HOUSE • The flat, the dacha, the garage, gran's house – each place has its own rooms • You choose the names, the signs and the places to keep things: the top shelf, the wardrobe, under the bed • Put the rooms in your own order: hold a room and drag it • Numbered boxes: write the number on the box with a marker, and the hob remembers what's inside and where it stands • Dark corners: a room with nothing written down stays dark until you open the cupboards and write down what's there 🔍 WHERE IS IT? • Ask the hob: "extension lead", "skates", "fairy lights" • He searches names, rooms, places, box labels and numbers and tells you where to look: "Pantry · shelving · box 3" • Browse by kind – clothes, tools, papers, holidays – or make kinds of your own • A name is enough: the hob picks the sign and the kind from it. Add a photo if you like 🕯 THE HOB'S NOTES • Soon needed: the tree decorations in December, the tent before summer • Not back yet: the drill a neighbour borrowed. One tap sends a reminder through any messenger • Time to give back: the step-ladder you borrowed has been here two months • Fits now: things a child has grown into • One quiet notification in the morning, and only when there's news 🧒 GROWING INTO THINGS • Add the children with their height and shoe size • A thing's size comes from its label: "116", "110–116", "4–5 y" or "30–33" • The hob works out when a child grows into it, from their own pace or the usual one for their age • A thing keeps its history: who wore it before and who comes next 🧹 CLEAR-OUT • Things untouched for over a year come one at a time: keep, give away, sell or throw out • Papers, seasonal things and clothes to grow into are left alone • In doubt, keep it – the hob asks again next year ✨ THE COSIER THE BETTER • Lit rooms, clean shelves, things that come back and fresh measurements make the cosiness • The hob's title grows with it: guest, lodger, master, old-timer • Signs for the first boxes, the first clear-out, a thing worn by two children ALSO • Evening and day: a dark theme in warm lamp light, and a light one with the curtains open • A copy of the house: every thing, room and photo in one file, to keep or to open on another phone. A CSV table too • English and Russian • Free and open source (MIT) Privacy: no account, no ads, no analytics, and no internet permission at all. Your house stays on your phone.
