LOL me too my brother. However, one thing I do use is Grocy for pantry and other inventory. Homebox seems to be in that inventory genre of apps. I’m somewhat of a prepper, but ‘prepping’ was very common in my generation along with Victory Gardens. I don’t do EOTW scenarios, but I do stock for social or political unrest and upheavals, weather related hazards or catastrophes, food shortages, etc. During the pandemic, I rarely wandered from my compound.

I have a UPC scanner that I scan all groceries and food stuffs into Grocy, and when I use the item, I scan it out. I’m the only one who is authorized to use it which gripes my lady friend when she comes to visit. LOL So, when I am doing my monthly shopping, I can pull up the app and check against the inventory to see if I need to pick up a couple 50 lb sacks of rice that are on sale.

I could see how Homebox would be useful in that you could take inventory of all your household items for perhaps insurance claims reasons. I take pictures of all such items along with their serial numbers and store them just for that purpose. I wonder if Homebox could import such data to securely store.
