HomeBox is a self-hosted home inventory manager designed for tracking physical belongings and household assets. It functions as a digital catalog for creating structured databases of objects, including records of locations, categories, and purchase history.
The system distinguishes itself through the use of QR code generation to link physical objects to digital records and the support of hierarchical location mapping to track assets across nested environments. It further enables automation via a REST API and centralizes access management through OpenID Connect integration for user authentication.
The platform covers comprehensive asset tracking, including item lifecycle monitoring, the use of reusable templates to standardize data entry, and the association of media files with inventory entries. It also provides tools for bulk data import and export via CSV files and a reporting tool for generating bills of materials.
