HomeBox is a self-hosted inventory and organization system built for home users, written in Go with an embedded web UI and SQLite (or Postgres) storage. It lets users catalog items with photos, custom fields, locations, labels, QR codes, and warranty/purchase tracking while using minimal resources.

Use cases

  • track home inventory items with photos and serial numbers
  • organize belongings by room and location
  • keep warranties and purchase receipts for appliances
  • manage a self-hosted asset list for a household
  • generate QR code labels for storage boxes
  • track maintenance schedules for equipment

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight, self-hosted home inventory under 50MB memory
  • you need simple item organization with locations, tags, and custom fields
  • you prefer SQLite portability with easy backups and no cloud dependency

When to avoid

  • you need multi-user enterprise asset management with role-based permissions
  • you require barcode scanning hardware integration or warehouse-scale logistics
  • you want a cloud-synced mobile app with offline-first support
