Workshop inventory that remembers where you put everything.

SortStuff is a workshop inventory system for makers, electronics benches, 3D printing, tools, parts, and project materials.

Put something wherever it fits. SortStuff remembers where it went and helps you find it later.

The SortStuff capture screen on a phone, defaulting to the Inbox: a 2x2 grid of ways to add an item — Amazon import, photo identification, scan barcode, manual entry — a barcode entry field, and the start of the recent activity list.
For people who build things

Inventory it. Scan it. Forget it.

Put it wherever it fits, tell the app once, and stop keeping the map in your head. Screens from a development build with demo inventory.

01Inventory
The SortStuff capture screen on a phone, defaulting to the Inbox: a 2x2 grid of ways to add an item — Amazon import, photo identification, scan barcode, manual entry — a barcode entry field, and the start of the recent activity list.
Get what you own into the app once — paste a link, shoot a photo, scan a barcode, or type it in.
02Scan
Review and confirm screen in kit mode: product name, manufacturer, part number and slot fields, a photo add button, a case code field, and the start of an editable contents list with quantities.
Check what was read, drop it in whatever bin has room, and save.
03Forget
Inventory screen listing parts with quantities, bin codes and stock status.
Stop remembering. The app knows what you have and which bin it went into.
Projects In development

Say what you're doing. It says what you need.

Describe the job in your own words. Projects reads it against your inventory: what you already own, how much is left, which bin it is in, and what you have to go buy before you start.

Pick an example to see it run against the demo inventory.

What SortStuff does

Add items from an Amazon link, a photo, a barcode, or manually.

Amazon importPaste a product link and the details come with it. Primary
AI photoPhotograph a kit lid and the contents list fills itself in. Primary
BarcodeScan with the camera or type the code. Backup
ManualFor loose parts with nothing printed on them. Backup

Where solid product information already exists — a link, a barcode, a catalog entry you confirmed once — SortStuff uses it directly instead of running an AI pass. AI is there when the box only tells you what's inside by way of a photo.

Find parts across kits

“M2.5 standoff” finds every pile in every case, normalized across naming quirks, with per-case counts and a grand total.

Coded bins and labels

Bins get short codes that chain into full codes. Print a label and its QR jumps straight back into the item in the app.

Kits are one save

A case and all of its contents are created together, with per-part quantities — 28 compartments included.

A catalog that learns

The first time you name a barcode it is remembered. Confirmed identities are never overwritten by public barcode data.

Full activity trail

A nested bin and case activity tree with photo thumbnails, and one-tap undo for every action.

Bench first, desk second

SortStuff is mobile-first for work at the bench, with desktop tools for bulk inventory management, imports, locations, and administration.

Early development

SortStuff is a working daily driver with rough edges included, and it is still being built. Access is opening gradually, features move around, and screens change between builds. If that sounds fine to you, ask for a spot.

A note from me

Keeping SortStuff free

Our goal is to keep SortStuff free to use and keep traditional advertising to a minimum. Features such as AI-assisted identification, product lookup, image processing, and hosted services cost money to operate.

Because many workshop supplies are purchased through Amazon, SortStuff may use Amazon affiliate links for reorders and product recommendations. If you choose to purchase through one of those links, SortStuff may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.

That income helps pay for APIs, servers, and continued development. If it ever starts shaping what the app recommends, I have done something wrong — tell me.
