What. Where. When.

Three tabs answer the three questions you actually ask about your things.

  • Whateren What tab: items grouped alphabetically, each with a photo, category and location

    What you own

    Every item with its photos, category, quantity, price and status. Search it, filter it, sort it.

  • Whateren Where tab: a nested tree of properties, rooms and storage with item counts

    Where it is

    Properties hold rooms, rooms hold furniture, furniture holds boxes. One tap opens everything below any place.

  • Whateren When tab: a chronological timeline of inventory changes grouped by day

    When it changed

    Added, moved, lent, sold. The timeline records it without you writing anything down.

Six ways to add a thing.

From a complete form to one photo per second. Choose the speed the moment deserves.

  • Camera or library

    Attach one or several photos while you create the item, or drop them in later.

  • Barcode

    Books, food and products look themselves up: name, details and the product picture when the catalog has one.

  • Speed Add

    The camera stays open. Photograph a whole shelf in a row and review the batch afterwards.

  • Receipt scan

    Premium AI reads every product on a purchase receipt: name, price, quantity, category, serial and warranty when printed.

  • Team Capture

    Several people photograph a shared property at once, one photo per item, saved the instant it is taken.

  • Siri

    Add to the inbox by voice, naming the place if you want, and complete the details later.

The receipt itself stays attached as a document to every item it created, as proof of purchase.

Whateren add item form on iPhone with photos, category, place and price fields

Point the camera. Get the details.

Whateren reads the photo and proposes the item: what it is, what to call it, where it belongs.

Included

On device, free

Apple Vision identifies the item without an internet connection and without sending anything anywhere.

  • Works offline
  • Costs nothing, always
  • Name, category and description
Credits

Premium, by Claude

A richer reading of the same photo, for the items where the detail matters.

  • Brand, model and estimated value
  • One credit per identification
  • 5 free credits to start, packs from $0.99
  • Or bring your own Anthropic API key

Premium sends a photo only after you accept a one-time consent notice. Requests paid with credits pass through a relay that forwards them without storing your photo.

Enhance what you already have

Re-run identification on an item or a place you added long ago, against its existing photos, and review every suggestion in the form. Nothing changes until you save.

Capture now. Complete later.

Fast captures land in an Inbox as drafts, grouped by property, so a hurried photo never pollutes the real inventory.

Whateren Inbox on iPhone: captured drafts grouped by property, each waiting for review
  1. 1

    Shoot

    Every photo is saved the moment it is taken, even mid-session with the phone in a pocket.

  2. 2

    Review

    AI has already named most of them. Fix what it got wrong, filter the ones still missing details.

  3. 3

    Confirm

    A name, a category and a place, and the draft becomes inventory. Confirm or discard many at once.

Organized the way your home is.

Not folders and tags. The rooms, the furniture and the boxes you already have.

Real places, nested

Property, room, furniture, box, spot. Five levels when you need them, one when you do not.

  • Beach House
  • Storage Closet
  • Blue Bin
  • Snorkel Set

Your categories, your icons

Rename them, reorder them, give each one its own symbol and subcategories.

  • Electronics
  • Furniture
  • Sports
  • Kitchen
  • Textiles
  • Toys

Status that tells the truth

Inventoried, lent, sold, donated, and any status you invent. Each one marked as something you still have or no longer have, so what you gave away leaves your rooms but keeps its history.

  • Inventoried
  • Lent
  • Sold
  • Donated

Found in two taps

Search by name, then filter by status, category or place, and sort by name or date.

Moves, one or a hundred

Send items to another place individually or in bulk, and the timeline notes every one.

Whateren on iPad: the whole inventory in a multi-column layout, grouped alphabetically

The part that matters when something goes wrong.

A burglary, a flood, a move, an estate. This is what an inventory is actually for.

  • Insurance reports

    Turn any place, at any depth, into a printable PDF: photos, categories, serial numbers, quantities, prices and a total. Name the insurer, the policy and the claim, or leave them blank for a move.

  • Inventory lists

    The same document without the insurance half. Choose which statuses to include and share a plain list of what is in a place.

  • Attached documents

    Scan a receipt, an invoice or a manual with the camera, pick a photo or choose a file. Everything is stored as a readable PDF on the item.

  • Serial numbers, scanned

    A scan button beside the field reads the serial off the item photos on the device, shows you the text it found, and fills the field for you to verify.

  • Warranty reminders

    Record the expiry date once and a reminder arrives two weeks before the warranty runs out.

  • Loans that come back

    Mark an item as lent, pick who has it, set a due date. Overdue items turn red everywhere, and each item keeps its full loan history.

Reports are kept on the place they were made from, newest first, ready to open, send again or delete.

A house is rarely one person.

Share a property

Invite family or housemates through iCloud. They get that property and everything inside it, and nothing else of yours.

  • View only, or edit, per person
  • See who added each item
  • Revoke access whenever you want

Team mode

Inventory a whole place together, with the work split the way it actually happens.

  • One person organizes from the Inbox while the others walk and photograph
  • Burst mode shoots continuously, One by One confirms each item as it goes
  • A barcode button on the capture screen, so a photo is never mandatory
  • AI names the photos as they arrive, so the Inbox fills with recognizable items

Built into iOS, not dropped on top of it.

The things an app written for the platform can do, and a wrapper never can.

  • Spotlight

    Pull down on the Home Screen and type a name, a serial or who you lent it to. Your items appear with their photos.

  • Siri

    Ask where something is and get the answer out loud, with the photo, without opening the app.

  • Shortcuts

    Add, move, change status, open the Inbox or start Team Capture, in all 8 languages, as automation blocks.

  • Quick actions

    Long press the icon for Add Item, Add Location or View Timeline, or wire it to the Action button.

  • iPad, properly

    A multi-column layout with the location tree beside the detail, and hardware keyboard shortcuts.

  • Yours to set

    Light or dark, an accent color, a currency, a default status, and 8 languages with an in-app override.

One app, native to each screen.

Not a stretched phone app. Each size gets its own layout, its own inputs, its own shortcuts.

On iPhone

  • Capture in seconds with the camera or the barcode scanner
  • Home Screen quick actions for one-handed adds
  • Built for lookups while you are standing in front of the box

On iPad

Your data stays yours.

Not a promise in a policy. An architecture with nowhere for your inventory to go.

  • No account, no server

    There is no login and no database of ours holding your things. Your inventory lives on your device and, if you turn it on, in your personal iCloud.

  • You are told before it moves

    Turning sync on or off shows the real counts on both sides and what will happen first. Deleting or restoring says plainly what happens to the iCloud copy.

  • Leave whenever you want

    CSV and JSON export, and full local backups that carry your photos and attached documents with them.

The only things that ever leave your devices are the photos you send to Premium AI, and only after you agree.

Everything in the box.

One purchase. This is the whole list, not the teaser.

Questions, answered.

Is Whateren really a one-time purchase?

Yes. You pay $4.99 once and get every feature and every future update. There is no subscription and nothing gated behind a paywall later. The only optional purchase is Premium AI credits, and even those can be replaced by your own API key.

Where is my data stored?

On your device, and optionally in your personal iCloud for sync and sharing. Whateren has no accounts and no server holding your inventory. If you never turn sync on, nothing ever leaves the device.

How does AI identification work?

Photograph an item and Whateren proposes its name, category and description. The free mode runs entirely on the device with Apple Vision. The premium mode sends that single photo to Claude after you explicitly consent, and returns brand, model and an estimated value. Credit funded requests pass through a relay that forwards them without storing your photo.

What do AI credits cost?

Every new user starts with 5 free credits. Packs are $0.99 for 100 credits, $1.99 for 200, $2.99 for 500 and $5.99 for 1000. One credit covers one identification, or one item imported from a receipt. With your own Anthropic API key you use none of them.

Can I get a report for my insurance?

Yes. Any place, from a single box to a whole property, produces a printable PDF of everything inside it and inside its sub-places, with photos, categories, serial numbers, quantities, prices and a total. You can name the insurer, the policy and the claim, or leave them blank for a move or an estate.

Can I share my inventory with family?

Yes. Share any property with anyone who has an iCloud account, with view or edit permission per person. They see that property and nothing else of yours, and you can revoke access at any time. Invitations are private, with no public links.

Which devices and languages are supported?

iPhone and iPad running iOS 18 or later, with a split-view layout and hardware keyboard shortcuts on iPad. The app is localized into English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Hindi.

Can I get my data out?

Always. Export everything to CSV or JSON, or take a full local backup that includes your photos and the documents attached to your items. Import brings it back.

Start with the drawer next to you.

Ten items in ten minutes, and you already know more about your home than you did this morning.
