Homebox

Homebox is a self-hosted inventory and organization system designed for home users. It addresses the challenge of tracking personal belongings across different locations without relying on cloud services or complex enterprise software. The application focuses on simplicity and privacy, allowing users to manage their items on their own infrastructure.

The software includes features for tracking items with custom fields, photos, serial numbers, and metadata. It supports location tracking with visual hierarchy, smart search and filtering, item templates, label management, and QR code generation for quick item lookup. Additional capabilities include bill of materials export, OIDC single sign-on integration, multi-user support for sharing collections, CSV import/export, a full REST API for automation, and health check endpoints. The application is built in Go and uses less than 50MB of memory at idle, with support for SQLite or PostgreSQL databases.

Homebox is intended for individuals and households who want to organize their personal inventory without third-party access or subscription costs. It is open source and free to use, with deployment options including Docker, bare metal, or other platforms. The software is self-hosted, giving users full control over their data, and supports multiple separate inventories within a single instance for different groups or locations.
