Organization

A hierarchy that matches real life

Sites → Rooms → Locations → Boxes

Core

Store inventory with a consistent structure, whether you’re organizing a closet, a garage, or a storage unit.

Unlimited boxes

Paid

The Android free tier includes 25 boxes. Unlock unlimited boxes with a one-time purchase.

Tags & categories

Filter

Add lightweight metadata to keep items searchable across rooms, boxes, and moves.

Move mode

Relocate

Track what’s moving, where it’s going, and what’s already been unpacked.

Tracking technologies

Use the tools you already have

QR codes

Included

Scan a label and you’re immediately looking at a box’s contents. No internet connection required.

Barcode scanning

UPC / EAN

Capture product codes and serials where it helps — warranties, insurance, or resale.

NFC tags

Optional

Tap a tag on a bin to identify it quickly — useful where camera scanning is awkward.

Bluetooth beacons

Optional

For specific workflows, beacons can help you locate frequently misplaced items.

Advanced

Detail when it matters

Photos (up to 20 per box)

Visual

Attach enough context to avoid re-opening boxes just to check.

Documents

Receipts

Store receipts, warranties, and insurance references alongside the item.

Loan tracking

Due dates

Track who borrowed what — and when it’s due back.

Alerts

Reminders

Expiration alerts, low-quantity warnings, and warranty tracking if you enable them.

Sync & backup

Local-first portability

LAN sync (Android ↔ Windows)

Optional

Sync over local Wi‑Fi keeps data on your LAN; cloud accounts are only needed if you enable Google Drive backups. Encrypted in transit.

ZIP exports

Backup

Export your data and store it where you choose — Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, NAS, or external storage. Link a Google account and Placefolio can automatically upload new ZIP exports to a Drive folder you control.

Important: because Placefolio keeps your data local by default, your backups are your recovery path; you can optionally enable automatic Google Drive backups by linking a Google account.

If you need help setting up exports or sync, contact Support.

Privacy & security

Designed around one constraint: your data stays yours

Offline-first

Default

No accounts. No external servers. Your inventory stays on-device.

Optional encryption

SQLCipher

Where supported, you can choose stronger local protection for sensitive data.
