Homebox is the inventory and organization system built for the Home User! With a focus on simplicity and ease of use, Homebox is the perfect solution for your home inventory, organization, and management needs. While developing this project I’ve tried to keep the following principles in mind:
Simple - Homebox is designed to be simple and easy to use. No complicated setup or configuration required. Use either a single docker container, or deploy yourself by compiling the binary for your platform of choice. Blazingly
Fast - Homebox is written in Go which makes it extremely fast and requires minimal resources to deploy. In general idle memory usage is less than 50MB for the whole container.
Portable - Homebox is designed to be portable and run on anywhere. We use SQLite and an embedded Web UI to make it easy to deploy, use, and backup.

Homebox is an inventory management system in the same vein as Snipe-IT, but purpose built to be simpler and cause less friction so that you’re more inclined to enter things and keep them up to date. You can use it for things like storing user guides, warranty contracts and expirations, and even expense tracking related to the maintenance and repair of any home items, like appliances and electronics. I use it to store warranty expirations for things like game consoles and TVs, as well as remind me to order new air filters for the home.

The website could use one or two screenshots of important features without having to login to the demo.
Painting the window is noticeably slow (Firefox ESR 102), have you tested it with Firefox?
Other than that, well done! It looks good and well maintained. I wanted to evaluate Snipe-IT someday, maybe I will also give this a try
Dude, this is sick AF. I deployed snipe IT and found it was just too much. I can’t wait to try this out!
Thx for sharing!
So, I used Homebox for a few days now. I like the simplicity of it and I like the direction they’re going. However, there are quite a few bugs and data loss issues, it’s not ready for production yet. The thing is, these issues should be so easy to fix (it’s a simple CRUD app) that it makes me doubt the dev skills and possibility of other issues I haven’t discovered yet.
- The purchase date just increments or decrements by one day after editing an item
- When editing an item the notes/description fields show the data from the previously edited item, causing you to overwrite data
These two issues alone made me go back to my spreadsheet for now (good thing I kept a backup). I simply don’t trust the app to keep my data intact.
Hello, I just saw this post as I stumbled upon Homebox recently and thought about searching for it on Lemmy…so I’m sorry for posting this late. Which version of Homebox did you try? Did you try again with newer version? As I’m looking forward for a simple database for home inventory, I’m just curious how it ended and what are you using today! Thank you very much!
it’s so pretty, i’m going to install this RN
It actually has some really nice built in themes.
This is super cool! The giant OCD nerd inside is going to go nuts while cataloging my entire home.
Seems neat. I wish there were a way to add custom fields; I would totally use this to keep track of my liquor cabinet contents. (I use a spreadsheet for this now.)
I know it’s not the general use case this though, but that didn’t keep me from getting my hopes up haha.
Ok
