The questions we get asked most

It turns your home into a searchable inventory. You map the house as a tree of places (rooms, cupboards, shelves, boxes inside boxes) and fill them with items, each carrying photos, quantities, tags and a barcode.

As deep as your house goes. A place holds items and other places alike, so a garage can hold a cabinet that holds a drawer, and every level stays browsable and searchable.

Yes. Adding places in bulk creates one place per line you type, under a parent you pick once. Adding items in bulk keeps the camera open on one place, and every save creates another item.

Completely. The whole inventory lives on your device, so browsing, searching and editing never wait on a network. With Premium, your other devices catch up by themselves once you are back online.

Yes. An item can carry a barcode you scan with the camera. If you never use it, the field can be switched off in Settings, and the same goes for tags.

Search one place or the whole house by word, and narrow what comes back by tag. From the results you can select several items and move or delete them in one sweep.

With Premium it can: from an item's photos it suggests a description and picks tags out of the ones you already use, so it never invents a vocabulary of its own. Nothing you typed is overwritten.

English and Spanish.

On your device. Your inventory is uploaded only if you turn on sync or share your home with someone, and neither is on by default.

Yes. Settings has a Data screen that exports the whole inventory, photos included, as a single file you save wherever you like. The same screen imports one back.

Export on the old device and import on the new one. With Premium you do not have to: sign in on the new device and it fills itself from your home.

Places and items are unlimited on both plans, and Premium is flat rather than metered: the price does not change with how much you keep in it.

The owner of a home invites people by email. Everyone who joins sees and edits the same inventory, so the house has one picture of itself instead of one per phone. It is part of Premium.

Every device signed in to the home. A change made on one turns up on the others by itself, and each device keeps working offline in between. It is part of Premium.

The home keeps its places and items, and your device goes back to an inventory of its own. Seiton walks you through saving an export first, then clears the shared inventory off that device and offers to import your export back.

Yes, from the family screen. The home keeps everything it holds, and the person removed keeps the app and starts a home of their own.

No. Seiton works fully offline with no account at all. You need to sign in for family sharing, sync, describing items from their photos, and voting on ideas.

The owner of the home. Once they upgrade, everyone they invite gets Premium too.

On Free, each device keeps its own inventory. Premium is what makes every device converge on the same one.

Your inventory stays on your device and stays usable, and multi-device sync and family sharing stop until you subscribe again. Nothing more reaches our servers after that, so the copy we hold is cleared in time and a new device is filled by exporting from one that still has the inventory; the privacy page names the window.
