Tap a bin.
See what's inside.
Your basement is full of identical tubs. Cubby puts an NFC tag and a QR label on every rack and bin — so one tap shows the contents. Fully on-device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking.
Everything in the basement,
findable.
One app, tags on your tubs, and the entire contents of your storage — searchable in a second. Here's what Cubby does the moment you tap.
Tap to open a bin
Hold your iPhone to a tub's NFC tag and Cubby opens straight to its contents — even from the lock screen, with the app closed.
Scan the QR too
No NFC, or hands full on iPad? The printed QR label and a short human code (BIN-12) get you to the same place.
Add items by camera
Point the camera and on-device Vision suggests a name instantly. A sharpness check flags blurry shots so you can retake before saving.
Smarter naming, still local
An optional on-device AI model — downloaded once from Apple, never the cloud — looks closer at what you photographed and upgrades vague names to specific ones. It runs entirely on your phone.
Search your whole house
One field spans item names, notes, bins, and racks — find the holiday lights without opening a single lid.
Where is it?
See the bin's spot on a rack map, then tap its tag to confirm you're standing at the right one.
Collections & filters
Group items into Collections that span bins, tag them, and narrow by category, location, in-stock, or has-a-photo.
Lend it, get it back
Mark a tool lent with a due date and get a reminder to chase it. See what's out, what's overdue, and what you borrowed.
Never run out
Set a par level on consumables. "Running low" shows what's below par and exactly how many more you need.
Print your own labels
Lay out QR labels for whole racks at once and print to an Avery sheet or a roll printer over AirPrint. Tag once, find forever.
Your racks, in 3D
See any rack in 3D with its bins sitting on the shelves — tap one to open it, or use it to confirm you're at the right shelf.
Ask Siri, or just ask
"Do I have AA batteries?" Ask in the app or through Siri and Shortcuts — add items, find things, and build collections by voice.
Widgets that watch stock
Low-stock and expiring-soon counts on your Home and Lock Screen, plus one-tap shortcuts into your racks, bins, and recent activity.
Sync, only if you want it
Everything lives on your device by default. Flip on iCloud sync and your inventory travels through your own iCloud to your iPad — never a Cubby server.
Barcode lookup, transparent
Scan a product barcode and Cubby can look up its name — the app's one optional network call, confirmed before it's applied and logged in full so you can see exactly what left the device.
Tag it once.
Find it forever.
Tag your racks & bins
Stick an NFC tag and a printed QR label on each rack and tub. Cubby writes the tag for you in one tap.
Fill them in
Open a bin and add what's inside — snap a photo, accept or edit the suggested name, set a quantity.
Find it later
Tap a tag, scan a QR, or search by name. Cubby tells you which bin on which rack — no more digging.
What will you
organize?
Cubby isn't only for the basement. Pick a space when you set up a rack and Cubby speaks its language — shelves and baskets, not racks and tubs — with onboarding starter spaces to match.
Pantry
Shelves and baskets, not racks and tubs. Track expiry dates, keep a running low list, and scan a barcode instead of typing in every can and box.
Freezer
Every bag and container gets its own tag, so nothing gets forgotten at the bottom for two winters. Expiry banding flags what to eat first.
Garage
Tools, hardware, and holiday decorations on tagged shelves and drawers — lend a ladder to a neighbor with a due-date reminder to get it back.
Closet
Seasonal swap made findable: photograph what's boxed up, tag the bin, and search by name instead of digging through totes in the attic.
Office
Cables, spare parts, and supplies live on labeled shelves and in baskets — search finds the right cable before you tear a closet apart.
Craft room
Yarn, fabric, beads, and half-finished projects — Collections group supplies across bins so a project's whole kit is one tap away.
Collections
LEGO sets, board games, wine, trading cards — tag a box, snap a photo, add custom fields for value or vintage, and see the whole collection in one list.
Moving & emergency prep
Label moving boxes once and search which one has the coffee maker before you unpack the rest — the same tags work for a go-bag you hope never to open.
Cubby for work
Running a small storeroom solo? Custom fields for Supplier, SKU, PO #, Cost, Model, and Warranty until turn a rack into stockroom software — and CSV/JSON export carries every field, tag, and loan record out with you.
Other NFC organizers stop at the tag. Cubby pairs NFC with a printed QR label and a short code so a scan never fails, points a camera at anything and suggests a name with AI that runs entirely on your phone, and keeps a true rack → bin → item hierarchy instead of one flat list. No account to create, no monthly subscription — and every custom field, tag, and loan record travels with you in a complete export.
Everything Cubby does,

The whole house,
in your pocket.
Straight from the current beta build — calm, legible, and built for one-handed use in a dim garage. Drag to browse.
From find, to organize,
to lend & restock.
Real screen recordings from the current beta build — no mockups, no motion design, just the app.
Your home's contents are nobody's business but yours.
Cubby processes everything — naming, search, labels — on your device. No accounts, no cloud backend, no analytics. NFC and QR tags hold only a random identifier, never your item names.
No account to create
Open the app and start. Nothing is uploaded, and there's nobody to sign up with.
Tags hold only an ID
A scanned tag reveals nothing on its own — the contents live only in your copy of Cubby.
No Cubby server, ever
Sync is off by default and your inventory lives on the one device. Turn on optional iCloud sync in Settings and it travels through your own iCloud — never a Cubby server.
AI runs on your phone
The naming model is a one-time download straight from Apple — never a Cubby server — and every photo it looks at stays on-device. Nothing about it or your items is ever sent anywhere.
In beta testing today.
App Store coming soon.
One tap to find anything you've stored. Cubby is under active beta testing on TestFlight — the App Store release is coming soon.
