We keep track of where things are in your home so that later you, your
guests and the people you live with can find them.
You can sign up for a free trial
account if you don't already have one (or an
invitation to
create one).
Our features include …
- a search box at the top of almost every page — and as
an optional part of signing in — to make it as
convenient as possible to find things in your home
- lists of common items and storage places that you can select from
to make it easier to add the things in your home here (but you
can always choose to use your own custom name instead)
- you and others can report it when you're low on, out of or
missing an item that was searched for
- the free account that you can sign up for above doesn't expire,
and is all you need if you just want to search for things in
someone else's home (and optionally manage a few items in one or
two rooms of your own home)
- so your guests and the people you live with only need a free
trial account
- we store only a minimum of personal information about
you — just an e-mail address and a user name that you
make up — to help keep the information that you enter
about your home from ever being misused
And while it's not strictly a feature, we can potentially save you money
by allowing you to sign in while you're shopping to see if you already
have an item before you go and buy another one.
InEveryNook.com was created because while in an ideal world we'd have
everything in our homes organized and in the first (or even second or
third) place we'd look for it, for many of us that isn't realistic. And
even if it was it isn't likely to stay organized. Plus most of us only
have so much storage space, so things that we use infrequently end up in
out-of-the-way places (like the backs of cupboards or in boxes on high
shelves) where it's easy to forget that we even have them, let alone find
them again when we need them. But it can be more realistic to
(eventually) go through all of our things one part of our home at a time
and record here where they're located. Then we can be sure that
we can find them again instead of just hoping that we can.
You don't have to add everything in your house here all at once, though.
You can work away at it bit by bit as you have the time and energy. (Our
guide on adding things describes a way of doing it so that you can stop
at any point and come back to it again later.) You can even use this site
to record the items in just a few places in your home: the garage and/or
basement that you can never find things in, for example. In fact, you can
sign up for a free trial account and try
it out on one or two of the rooms in your home right now!
