Know what is in the unit without driving to it.
A storage unit is the only thing people pay for monthly and cannot see. Photograph the bins as they go in, label them, and the unit becomes a list you can read from your kitchen.

The bill arrives every month whether or not you remember what is in there. Most people can name three or four things in their unit and have a vague feeling about the rest — which is exactly how a unit ends up costing more per year than the contents are worth.
The fix is not a better memory or a tidier unit. It is writing down what went in, once, at the only moment you can see it: as you are packing.
What it gives you
A label you can scan
Print a QR label for every bin and stick it on the end that faces the aisle. Scanning it on your phone opens that bin’s contents, so you check a stack without unstacking it.
Photograph it as you pack
A picture of the open bin before the lid goes on is worth more than any description you will write later. Every bin and every item keeps its own photos.
Search instead of digging
Type "ski boots" and get the bin number and the aisle it is in. One trip, one bin moved, instead of an afternoon and a sore back.
See what it costs to keep
Record what things are worth and the totals roll up per bin and per unit. Seeing four hundred dollars of contents against a monthly bill makes the keep-or-sell decision for you.
More than one unit
A unit, the garage and your parents’ basement are three locations. Each keeps its own bins, and search runs across all of them at once.
A list the facility will accept
Export the whole unit as a spreadsheet for an insurer, a moving company, or the facility’s own paperwork.
How to start
Add the unit as a location
Name it whatever is on the door — "Unit B-207" — so it matches what you will see when you get there.
Number and photograph each bin
Auto-number as you go, photograph the open bin, and print the labels in one sheet when you are done.
File the things you will look for
You do not need every sock. Add the things you will one day stand in the aisle trying to remember.
Questions people ask
- Do I have to list every single item?
- No, and trying to is why most inventories get abandoned halfway. Photograph every bin, then list only the things you would go looking for later — tools, documents, seasonal gear, anything valuable. The photos cover the rest.
- How do the QR labels work?
- Each bin gets a short code. You print a sheet of labels from the app on ordinary paper or address stickers, stick one on each bin, and scanning a label with your phone camera opens that bin’s contents. No special scanner and no app to install.
- Will this work without a signal inside the unit?
- Yes. Storage units are famously signal-free, so the app keeps a copy of your inventory on the device and reads from it when the network is gone. Filing an item into a bin while offline is queued and sent when you get a signal back.
- Can I use it for free?
- The free Starter plan covers 1 location, 3 bins and 10 items, which is enough to inventory a corner of a unit and decide whether the habit sticks. A whole unit needs Plus, which lifts the limits and adds the printable QR labels, and you can upgrade from inside the app the day you run out of room.
- What if I am sharing the unit with someone?
- You can share a location read-only, so the other person can see and search what is in it without being able to change your records.
