Frequently Asked Questions

What does Quick Add do on the Add Product screen?

Quick Add lets you capture the essentials fast — just a title, category, and a few optional details. It's perfect for when you want to log an item quickly and fill in more information later (or never).

Use Quick Add when you're inventorying multiple items at once or don't have all the details handy. You can always edit the item later to add photos, warranty info, purchase price, and more.

How can I improve the effectiveness of information returned by AI assistants?

Even though Stuffolio works great with only partial information about a product, the more specific and accurate the details you provide, the better results you'll get from AI features:

  • Use real brand names — "KitchenAid" not "my mixer"
  • Include model numbers — "KSM150PSER" helps pinpoint exact specs, manuals, and parts
  • Take clear photos — Good lighting, full product visible, labels/nameplates if possible
  • Add the product category — Helps AI understand context (e.g., "stand mixer" vs just a photo)
  • For vintage/antique items — Mention approximate age or era if known ("1960s" or "inherited from grandmother")
  • Include distinguishing details — Color, size, variant (e.g., "5-quart, Empire Red")

Generic entries like "kitchen thing" or blurry photos will get generic results. Real product details unlock specific manuals, replacement parts, recall info, and accurate valuations.

Do I need to enter receipts for every item?

No. Stuffolio works with whatever information you have. Add a name and photo now, fill in details later — or don't. It's designed for real life, not perfect record-keeping. That being said, using real product, brand names, and model numbers will increase the usefullness of information returned by AI agents.

What is Stuff Scout?

Stuff Scout is a cool AI tool that can help you identify items from photos. Just point your camera at something, and it’ll tell you what it is, share a little bit about its history, and give you an idea of its value. It’s especially handy for heirlooms you already have and for spotting those hidden gems at the thrift store.

Does Stuffolio sync across devices?

Yes, if you enable iCloud sync. Your data syncs through your personal iCloud account — we never see it. You can also use Stuffolio completely offline with no sync.

Can I export my inventory?

Yes. Export to CSV, PDF, or other formats from the Actions section. Great for insurance documentation, moving, or just having a backup.

Disclaimer: Exported inventories are for informational purposes only. Contact your insurance agent for specific requirements on how to document and submit a claim.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your inventory stays on your device by default. Network features (sync, AI, barcode lookup) are all opt-in. See our Privacy Policy for details.

How do warranty reminders work?

Add a warranty expiration date to any item and Stuffolio will remind you before it expires. You can customize how far in advance you want to be notified in Settings.

Can I track items I've sold or donated?

Yes. When you let go of something, you can mark it as sold, donated, gifted, recycled, returned, or trashed. Stuffolio keeps a history so you know where everything went.

For tax purposes, Stuffolio tracks:

  • Donations — Estimated fair market value, recipient organization, and date
  • Sales — Sale price, date, and where/to whom it was sold

You can export this information for your records. Attach photos of donation receipts to keep everything in one place.

Disclaimer: Stuffolio provides record-keeping tools only. Consult a tax professional for advice on deductions and reporting requirements.

How do I delete an item?

Open the item's detail view, tap the action menu (•••), and select "Delete." You can also swipe left on an item in the list view. Deleted items are gone permanently — if you might want to reference it later, consider marking it as "disposed" instead.

Can I organize items by room or location?

Yes. Each item can have a location assigned (living room, garage, kitchen, etc.). You can then filter and search by location to see everything in a specific area — helpful for moving or insurance documentation.

Is there a limit to how many items I can add?

No. Add as many items as you want. Stuffolio stores everything locally on your device, so the only limit is your device's storage space. If you use iCloud sync, your iCloud storage applies.

How do I back up my data?

You have several options: (1) Enable iCloud sync to automatically back up to your iCloud account, (2) Export your inventory to CSV, PDF, or Excel from the Actions section, or (3) Your device's regular backup (iCloud Backup or Finder/iTunes) includes Stuffolio data.

What happens if I delete the app?

If you delete Stuffolio, locally stored data is removed from that device. However, if you have iCloud sync enabled, your data remains in iCloud and will restore when you reinstall. We recommend exporting a backup before deleting, just in case.

Does Stuffolio work offline?

Yes. Core features work completely offline — adding items, viewing your inventory, editing details, and exporting. Only optional features like Stuff Scout (AI), barcode lookup, and iCloud sync require an internet connection.

Can I attach receipts and documents?

Yes. You can attach photos of receipts, manuals, warranty cards, or any other documents to each item. Just open the item and use the attachments section to add images from your camera or photo library.

Is Stuffolio free? Are there in-app purchases?

Stuffolio is a one-time purchase of $9.99. All core inventory features are included — adding items, tracking warranties, organizing by location, exporting data, and more.

AI Features (Optional Subscription): Stuff Scout and other AI-powered features require a separate subscription due to ongoing server costs. Subscriptions are available monthly or annually — cancel anytime. Pricing will be finalized after beta testing.

You can use Stuffolio fully without the AI subscription. The core app works great on its own.

How do I enable internet features like AI and barcode lookup?

Internet-connected features are disabled by default to protect your privacy. To enable them, go to Settings → Network Features and toggle on the features you want to use. You can enable:

  • Stuff Scout (AI) — Identify items from photos and get product research
  • Barcode Lookup — Auto-fill product info by scanning barcodes
  • Recall Checker — Check if your products have safety recalls
  • Analytics — Help improve Stuffolio by sharing anonymous usage data

Each feature can be enabled or disabled individually. Core inventory features always work offline — no internet required.

Troubleshooting

iCloud sync isn't working

Make sure iCloud is enabled in your device settings and you're signed in with the same Apple ID on all devices. Try force-quitting the app and reopening. If issues persist, check your iCloud storage isn't full.

AI features aren't loading

First, make sure you've opted in to AI features: go to Settings → Network Features and enable Stuff Scout. AI features are disabled by default to protect your privacy.

If already enabled, check your internet connection and try again. If you're on a restricted network (work, school), the AI server might be blocked.

The app crashed

Sorry about that! Crash reports are sent automatically (no personal data included). If you can reproduce the crash, email us the steps — it helps us fix it faster.

Photos aren't saving

Make sure Stuffolio has permission to access your photos. Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos and check that Stuffolio has access.

Barcode scanner not working

Make sure Stuffolio has camera permission (Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera). Also check that Network Features are enabled in Stuffolio settings for product lookup. Try scanning in better lighting, and make sure your camera lens is clean.

Warranty reminders / notifications aren't working

Make sure Stuffolio has notification permission (Settings → Notifications → Stuffolio). Check that you've set a warranty expiration date on the item. Also verify your notification timing preference in Stuffolio Settings — you can choose how far in advance to be reminded.

App is running slowly

Try force-quitting and reopening the app. If you have a very large inventory with many photos, this can affect performance. Make sure your device has available storage space. Restarting your device can also help clear memory.

My data seems to have disappeared

Don't panic! First, check if you're signed into the same iCloud account (if using sync). Try force-quitting and reopening the app. If you recently restored your device, make sure iCloud sync is enabled and give it time to download. If data is truly lost, contact us — we'll help troubleshoot.
