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. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

That yogurt hiding behind the ketchup expired three weeks ago, and the flour you bought "just in case" has been sitting in the pantry since last winter. EverShelf replaces mental guesswork with a structured inventory system that tracks every item across pantry, fridge, freezer, and custom locations with precise quantities, expiry dates, and consumption patterns. Scan barcodes with your phone camera to add products instantly, or let the Gemini AI identify items from a photo and estimate shelf life based on storage location. The dashboard surfaces expired items and upcoming expirations with color-coded urgency badges, while anomaly detection flags suspicious quantities and consumption predictions that deviate from your history. Opened products get reduced shelf-life calculations; vacuum-sealed items get extended dates automatically. The recipe engine generates context-aware meal suggestions from your current inventory, prioritizing ingredients approaching expiry so nothing goes to waste; each recipe includes step-by-step cooking mode with text-to-speech narration and timer integration. A smart shopping list auto-populates when stock hits zero and syncs bidirectionally with the Bring! app, with AI-estimated prices per item and consumption forecasts showing when you will need to restock. For Home Assistant users, a native HACS integration provides 22 sensors, expiry calendars, bidirectional todo-list sync, and voice assistant support for adding items hands-free. A dedicated Kiosk mode optimizes the interface for wall-mounted tablets with BLE scale integration.
