# Nook product facts

## One-line description

Nook: Home Inventory is an iPhone and iPad app for organizing the rooms, cabinets, drawers, boxes, and everyday items in a home, then bringing the saved place back later.

## Origin

Developer note from Guoqing:

> I came home from a trip and then had to move. While unpacking, I kept thinking there should be a quicker way to record what I had put away and where. There are already some very good home-inventory apps; I wanted Nook to stay simple and make the everyday steps easier.

## How it works in practice

- Create rooms, cabinets, drawers, boxes, and nested containers that match the home.
- Save an item with only a name and its place; photos and extra details are optional.
- Photograph several items in sequence and confirm their names and locations afterward.
- Search names, aliases, saved places, and clear text recognized on device from photos.
- Mark an item as out, choose a return reminder, then confirm when it has gone back.
- Keep unsorted and taken-out items together in the Pile.
- Set expiry dates and choose how early to be reminded.
- Mix ordinary text tasks with previously saved items in a checklist.
- Send eligible names and aliases to iOS system search; appearance depends on iOS indexing.
- Full Version includes unlimited saved items, the Apple Watch app for looking up saved places, and three advanced iPhone widgets.

## Price and business model

- Free download; the first 30 saved library items include the complete core experience.
- Text-only checklist entries are unlimited and do not count toward the item allowance.
- Full Version: non-consumable one-time purchase, US $2.99; local storefront prices may vary.
- No subscription, ads, trial countdown, or paid review incentive.
- If a user never purchases, existing saved items remain viewable and manageable.
