## What it is
Homebox is a self-hosted inventory and organization system for home users, built in Go with an embedded web UI and SQLite storage. It lets users track items with details like warranties, attachments, custom fields, labels, locations, QR code labels, and CSV import/export.

## Use cases
- track home inventory of belongings
- organize items by location and label
- record warranties and purchase info for appliances
- generate QR code labels for storage boxes
- import existing inventory from a CSV file
- self-host a lightweight asset management app

## When to choose
- you want a simple, lightweight self-hosted inventory app with minimal resource usage
- you need item tracking with locations, labels, attachments, and QR labels
- you prefer a single Docker container with SQLite for easy backup

## When to avoid
- you need enterprise-grade asset management with multi-user workflows
- you require guaranteed API stability, as the project is in beta and may introduce breaking changes
- you need a managed cloud solution rather than self-hosting

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: self-hosted, http-server, gui, search-engine, csv
- domain: developer-tools, self-hosted, web-development
- platform: self-hosted, cross-platform, go
