The one-liner

Stockpile is the fast, beautiful way to track everything you own. Scan a barcode and your pantry, fridge, and whole house become a searchable, shareable inventory.

The story

Paul Russo is a senior product designer in Austin, TX. He wanted to stop buying duplicate groceries and cleaning supplies, tried every pantry app on the App Store, and found a category frozen in 2015: food-only databases, paywalled family sharing, design that looks like homework. So he built the one he wanted, first as a personal tool he used daily to scan his own house, then as a real app when the gap proved too obvious to ignore. Stockpile was designed and shipped by one person working with AI coding tools, on an infrastructure budget of roughly zero.

Facts

• Scans decode in well under a second using the iPhone's native vision engine
• Tracks anything with a barcode (food, household goods, meds, tools), plus photo items for everything else
• Household sharing is free (up to 4 people); the category standard is to paywall it
• Free tier: 500 items, unlimited locations. Stockpile Plus: $14.99/yr or $29.99 lifetime
• No ads, no data sales, camera processing stays on-device
• Platform: iOS. Built with React Native, Supabase, and a shared product catalog that improves with every scan
