Know where your things are.

Platforms: Android

Not yet available on Google Play

Features

  • Added in seconds

    Photo (optional), name, place – done. Category, brand, model, serial number, purchase date, price, condition and notes can be added under “More details” when you need them.

  • Places on any number of levels

    Map your storage the way it really is – for example Home › Basement › Left shelf › Christmas box.

  • Search and find

    Search finds entries by name, brand, model, serial number, note, category and place and shows right away where something is.

  • QR labels

    Create QR labels for things and places. Stuck on a box, a scan with ToolNest opens its contents directly.

  • Your own categories

    Organise your things with categories you define yourself – optional and nestable as you like.

  • Photos and documents

    Several photos per entry and documents such as the invoice, warranty or manual right with the item.

  • Maintenance, reminders and history

    Plan maintenance, inspections and warranty dates with local reminders; the history shows what changed for an entry.

  • Backup and CSV

    Back up all entries, photos and documents to a file and restore them, plus CSV export and import.

  • Stored locally

    Your entries, photos and documents are stored locally on your device.

  • No account needed

    No SHneoDesigns account and no sign-up.

Price and licence model

  • Try every feature for 14 days.
  • After that, unlock the app permanently with a one-time purchase through Google Play.
  • No subscription and no ads.
  • Your data is kept when the trial ends.

Google Play shows the price for your country.

Data and online access

  • The features and your data in ToolNest – entries, places, categories, photos, documents, maintenance and history – work locally on your device. SHneoDesigns does not receive this data.
  • ToolNest uses the camera only when you take a photo or scan a QR code. Before a photo is saved, the app removes metadata such as the GPS location. Camera images of the scanner are neither stored nor sent.
  • A QR label contains only a random technical code – no name, no address and no link to the internet.
  • ToolNest uses Google Play for purchasing and restoring the purchase; this needs Google services and an internet connection. You enter payment details only with Google.
  • SHneoDesigns does not run its own analytics or tracking system for ToolNest, shows no ads and uses no user account.
  • Once ToolNest is connected to Google Play Billing – after a tap on unlock or restore purchase, or to match an existing purchase –, the built-in Billing Library sends technical diagnostic information to Google. Starting and using the app during the trial does not by itself connect Google Play Billing. Details: privacy policy.
  • Backups and CSV exports are only created when you ask for them; you choose where they are saved. They are not encrypted and contain no purchase.

Important notes

  • ToolNest helps you keep your own overview: it remembers what you enter – it is no warehouse or stock management.
  • Due dates and reminders are based solely on your own entries. Reminders are shown by Android and may be delayed or not shown, for example if notifications are switched off or energy saving restricts the app.
  • ToolNest does not replace manufacturer instructions or required inspections or maintenance and is no proof of ownership, value or condition towards insurers or authorities.
  • Your data is only on your device. Make regular backups and keep them outside the device – otherwise the data is lost if the device is lost, broken or reset.
