What is Stuffolio?

Stuffolio helps you track everything you own — warranties, purchase dates, manuals, and more. Never lose track of when a warranty expires or where you put that receipt again.


Getting Started (5 Minutes)

Step 1: Add Your First Product

  1. Open Stuffolio
  2. Tap the + button (bottom right on iPhone, toolbar on iPad/Mac)
  3. Choose how to add:
    • Photo — Snap a photo and AI fills in the details (subscribers get automatic analysis)
    • Barcode — Scan a UPC to auto-fill product information
    • Manual — Type the details yourself
  4. Enter the Product Name (required)
  5. Add optional details:
    • Manufacturer — Who made it
    • Model Number — Found on product label
    • Serial Number — For warranty claims
    • Purchase Date — When you bought it (use "Approximate" if unsure)
    • Purchase Price or Current Value — What you paid or what it's worth today
    • Warranty Expiration — When coverage ends
  6. Tap Save
Pro Tip: Use Photo mode for the fastest experience — the form appears immediately while AI analyzes your photo in the background. Fields fill in automatically as results arrive, so you're never waiting.

Step 2: Organize with Categories

Stuffolio includes 20+ categories to organize your products:

CategoryExamples
ElectronicsTV, laptop, phone
AppliancesRefrigerator, washer, microwave
FurnitureSofa, desk, bed frame
ToolsDrill, saw, lawn mower
AutomotiveCar accessories, bike
SportsGym equipment, golf clubs

Step 3: Check Your Dashboard

The Dashboard shows at-a-glance:
