Built on one simple idea.

Nothing that matters to you
should ever be hard to find.

Snap a photo, drop it in a collection, and find it in seconds — by image, description, or a vague memory. Remember more of what you know. Share what you love.

The Problem

Where did I put that?

The more you own, the harder it gets to find anything. Most people end up with a vague sense of what they have — and no fast way to prove it. It’s not just the object you lose track of — it’s everything you knew about it.

Storage bins

Storage bins

Sealed and stacked. You know it’s in one of those boxes — but which one, on which shelf?

Collectibles

Collectibles

Cards, figures, coins, sets. Hundreds of items with no fast way to check what you already own before you buy.

Small business inventory

Small business inventory

Spreadsheets, sticky notes, guesswork. No single source of truth for what’s actually in stock right now.

Vinyl and media

Vinyl & media

1,200 records. No way to check at the shop whether you already own it — until you get home.

Recipes

Recipes

Clipped, bookmarked, photographed, forgotten. The one you loved is in there somewhere — but where?

Education and flashcards

Education

Study materials scattered across apps, folders, and paper. No good way to review them in one place — or share them with students.

How it works

Three steps. That’s the whole app.

No learning curve. No setup. Just photograph, describe what you know, and find it again.

Searching a collection of 700+ items

Instant results across a large bird collection — by title, by description, and by describing what's in the photo, like “black feathers.”

Scanning text straight off the cover

Adding a CD with the music template — scan the cover and the title, artist, and songlist fill themselves in.

Study Mode

Turn any collection into a spaced repetition study set — flashcards and multiple choice, scheduled by the SM-2 algorithm so you review things right before you'd forget them.

Community

See what others are sharing.

The Discover tab is a living feed of public collections from creators, collectors, and everyday people sharing what they own. Browse freely — no account needed to look around.

Browse public collections

Art, recipes, gear, records, rare finds — real collections from real people.

Search any way you like

Find by username, title, description, or category. No account required.

Publish your own

Make any collection public with one tap. Goes live in Discover immediately.

On the roadmap: Creator profiles, follower feeds, and paid collections — letting you sell access to your best content directly through the platform.

For Creators

What you know is already worth sharing.

Cards, vinyl, skincare, gear, recipes, your bookshelf — if you’ve got content worth showing off, Thngs turns it into something people can actually search, not just scroll past.

Photograph what you’ve got, and Thngs organizes it into a searchable, shareable collection — no spreadsheets, no guesswork. Drop the link in your bio and let people search your shelf, your closet, your gear bag, your recipe box.

Grow Your Audience

Share your content with people who are genuinely interested in your niche. Every public collection is another way for followers to discover your content.

Free Premium account

Full access to templates, unlimited search, and every feature — on us.

Featured in Discover

We’ll help you build your first collection and get it in front of our community.

Who uses it

Endlessly different ways to use it.

Collectors

Search your entire collection the way Google searches the web. Find anything by image, description, or a half-remembered detail. Know exactly what you own before you buy — no more duplicates, no more guessing.

Educators

Build collections of teaching materials, vocabulary sets, specimen photos, or historical artifacts — then share them with your class or keep them private. Students can study on their own time with Study Mode built right in.

Home Organizers

Every item in your home — every bin, every drawer, every shelf — instantly searchable. Stop buying things you already own. Stop tearing apart closets looking for things you know you kept.

Students

Turn any collection into a study deck. Flashcard or multiple choice, spaced repetition schedules your reviews automatically so hard cards come back sooner and easy ones stay out of your way. Works for any subject, any level.

Influencers

Your content deserves a permanent home. Publish searchable collections your followers can explore long after the post is buried. Everything you’ve ever reviewed, organized, and findable — not just the last thing you posted.

Resellers

Photograph once, find it forever. Check inventory on the spot, avoid buying duplicates, and pull up condition notes and purchase price before you price anything. Less fumbling, more selling.

Capture & Find Anything

Text in. Search out.

Two features that work together — pull text from any photo, then find it instantly from any field you’ve filled in.

Scan text from any photo.

Point at a book spine, receipt, label, or tag — Thngs reads the text on-device and lets you drop it straight into your item fields. Select multiple text blocks at once and assign them to a field in one tap. No cloud, no typing.

  • Fully private — no network
  • Works offline
  • Multi-select chips
  • No setup

* Works great with printed text — labels, spines, receipts, tags. Handwritten text is hit or miss.

Search finds everything you put in.

Every field — title, material, condition, notes — is automatically indexed the moment you save. You control which fields count: exclude low-value fields (e.g. a producer credit) so the fields that matter (e.g. a track listing) carry more weight.

  • Zero setup required
  • All fields, automatically
  • Per-field inclusion toggle
  • All on-device
Display templates

Every collection has
its own best look.

Pick the display template that fits what you’re cataloging. Change it any time — templates only affect how items look, not how data is stored.

Standard
Every field displayed top-to-bottom in the order you defined them. No frills, no assumptions — just your data, clean and complete. The right starting point for any collection.
Best for: general-purpose collections
Card
Full-width photo at the top, bold title below it, dropdown values shown as pill badges, and the rest of your fields underneath. Built for collections where the image does the heavy lifting.
Best for: trading cards, collectibles, gear
Music
Square album art centered at the top, then title and artist, an accent-colored format badge (Vinyl, CD, Cassette…), genre pills, and a label : value detail table for year, label, catalog number, and more.
Best for: records, CDs, cassettes, any audio collection
Recipe
Each field renders as a labeled section with its content below. Type ingredients or steps one per line and they automatically become a bullet list — no formatting needed.
Best for: recipes, procedures, any step-based content
Flashcard
Front shows the term or question. Tap to flip and reveal the answer. Resets when you move to the next item. Pairs with Study Mode for spaced-repetition review.
Best for: vocabulary, anatomy, history, any study collection
Storage
Item name and description up top, then a prominent two-cell location bar showing Bin and Shelf side by side. Room or area shown as dropdown pills. Everything else in a clean detail table below.
Best for: boxes, bins, garage, attic, storage units

Change a collection’s template any time: long-press its card → Edit → Display.

Study Mode

Remember more of what you know.

Flashcard or multiple choice — spaced repetition schedules your reviews automatically so you remember more with less effort.

Your choice of mode

Flip cards and rate yourself (Again / Good / Easy), or let the app quiz you with multiple choice — shows the image and answer, you pick the correct term. Switch modes any time in the collection settings.

Smarter scheduling

The SM-2 algorithm (the same one Anki uses) calculates exactly when to show each card again. Cards you know well stay away longer; hard cards come back sooner. Each session ends with a summary of your progress.

Stays on your device

Study progress never leaves your phone. No accounts, no sync, no data harvested. Just memory.

Enable Study Mode per collection: long-press a card → Edit → Study → choose Flashcard or Multiple Choice → Update.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask.

It depends on what you do with your collections. Private collections stay entirely on your device — we never see them and have no copy. If you choose to share a collection, publicly or privately, it is stored on our servers so others can access it. Sharing is always your choice.

Yes, for your private collections. Photographing, organizing, and searching all happen on your device with no internet required. You do need a connection to share a collection or to access your account collections on a new device.

Any collections stored only on your device are permanently deleted when you remove the app — we have no copy and cannot recover them. Collections tied to your account remain on our servers until you close your account, at which point they are deleted within 30 days. Publicly shared collections remain on the platform per our Data Ownership policy.

Very accurate for descriptions, partial names, and conceptual searches. Describe what you remember — “the blue notebook with the spiral binding” — and it will find the right item even if you didn’t name it that.

Yes. Take a new photo or upload one from your library, and Thngs will find visually similar items within that collection.

Up to 100 items across 3 collections. That’s enough to get a real sense of how it works. Most people spend a few weeks on the free tier before deciding if they want more.

Yes. You can share a collection publicly for anyone to browse, or privately with specific people you invite. The person you share with needs the app installed and a free account to view it.

Free tier caps at 100 items. Standard supports up to 500. Premium supports up to 1,000. You can upgrade at any time without losing your existing collection.

Yes. Download the app on your new device, sign in to your account, and your account collections will be available immediately. Collections that were stored only on your old device and never shared will not carry over, so make sure anything important is tied to your account before switching.

Stop searching.
Start finding.

Start free. No credit card, no commitment. Just see what it feels like to actually find things.
