Kept is a self-hosted home inventory that answers where things are, what they are, and what is due. Locations, rooms, shelves, and boxes nest inside each other, so moving a box moves everything in it, and each location can be viewed as a list, a grid, or a 3D map with pins for low stock, loans, and due items. Every thing gets a short ID and a QR code for label sheets or roll printers, and scanning a label opens the box. Capture a thing, receipt, or whole room from the installable phone web app, offline too; an AI provider you choose, including Ollama, then suggests details for you to confirm. Receipts, manuals, and warranties attach to items, reminders arrive in the app, by email, by push, or in a calendar feed, and an insurance report exports photos, serials, and receipts. Lending tracking, vehicle readings and services, moving-house box lists, and stocktakes cover the rest of the household, with shared locations and roles for everyone you live with. An assistant answers questions like where the HDMI cable is, and an MCP endpoint lets Claude or other AI agents add and move things, with changes waiting for your approval. Nightly backups and imports from Homebox and CSV round it out. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.

With over 7,000 GitHub stars and active community maintenance through version 0.26.0 released in June 2026, Homebox fills the gap between inadequate spreadsheets and overcomplicated enterprise asset management by providing a purpose-built inventory system designed specifically for home users, families, and small groups. The Go backend with SQLite storage deploys as a single Docker container consuming under 50MB of RAM at idle, running on hardware as modest as a Raspberry Pi while the responsive web interface adapts seamlessly across desktops, tablets, and smartphones. The entity-based architecture introduced in v0.26 unifies items and locations into a shared structure supporting custom fields, attachments, entity types, and reusable templates for consistent data entry across inventory categories. QR code generation creates printable labels that scan with any smartphone camera to instantly display item details, photos, serial numbers, and associated documents. Warranty tracking records purchase dates, prices, and expiration dates while maintenance scheduling sends reminders for recurring service tasks. Location hierarchies organize items spatially with nested sub-locations, and flexible label tagging enables cross-cutting categorization beyond physical placement. Multi-user support shares collections with family members or roommates with OIDC single sign-on integration for Active Directory, Okta, and other identity providers. CSV import and export handles bulk operations, while the full REST API enables automation and third-party integrations. Collection-level ZIP export packages complete inventories with attachments for backup or migration.
