HomeBox is a self-hosted inventory and organization system built for home users to track and manage their personal belongings.
The tool addresses the need for a simple, lightweight way to catalog household items, documents, and warranties without complex setup. It organizes items into categories, locations, and tags while supporting custom fields for additional metadata. The system includes image upload capabilities, powerful search functionality, and tracking for purchase dates, prices, and maintenance schedules. Built in Go, it runs efficiently with minimal resource consumption and uses SQLite with an embedded web interface for easy deployment and backup.
HomeBox suits individuals and families who want to maintain a home inventory without managing complicated infrastructure. The responsive design works across desktops, tablets, and smartphones, making it accessible for casual use. The tool prioritizes simplicity and portability, requiring no complex configuration while remaining expandable for users who want to invest more infrastructure effort. It is particularly well-suited for tracking valuable items, warranties, and maintenance history in a single searchable location.
The project maintains active development with passing continuous integration checks. Contributions are actively welcomed from the community. The tool has been translated into multiple languages through community effort. A demo instance is available for prospective users to evaluate before deployment, and the project maintains both stable and nightly release channels for testing.
