Find anything in your bins, drawers and closets

Six months ago, my storage unit hit me with an unexpected price hike. Working two jobs, I didn't have time to be nickel-and-dimed, so I decided to move everything into my unfinished garage. With zero construction experience, I asked AI how to frame and insulate it. I hung heavy OSB sheets on the ceiling by myself — and when two ends missed a joist, I patched the gap with a scrap piece of pegboard. That garage is weather-proof today, and it gave this app its name.

With all those bins in the garage, I needed a way to organize them. I researched QR-label products on Amazon and read the reviews: people loved the labels, until the “free” apps behind them turned into monthly subscriptions just to see their own list. I never even tried the other inventory apps after reading that. I did all that manual labor just to avoid a $20 monthly fee; I wasn't about to pay one for software.

So I teamed up with AI to build the exact home inventory app I wished existed. It cost me about $40 in AI credits and a lot of evening hours, but Pegboard turned out better than anything I could find on the market.

I don't want to get rich bait-and-switching anyone. Apps cost money to host and run AI scans, but they shouldn't cost you an endless monthly bill. I read every user suggestion, I'll explain my thinking if something can't be built, and I will never trap your data.

Try it on your real clutter first. 200 items is plenty to catalog a whole garage rack. If it earns its keep, pay once and never think about it again.
