Being built right now

What's coming in 2.0

A big update is in the works. Here's an honest peek at what I'm putting together next.

Organize

Rooms & locations

Sort your devices by room — kitchen, garage, kids' room — so you can see at a glance where everything actually lives.

Convenience

A shopping list that writes itself

It'll look at what's coming up and just tell you: "you'll want 4× AA and 2× CR2032 soon." Take it to the shop and you're done.

New power

Rechargeables too

Keep an eye on charge cycles, notice when a cell's losing capacity, and get a gentle "maybe retire this one" when it's time.

Hands-free

Siri & Shortcuts

Just ask Siri what needs a battery, wire it into your own Shortcuts, and tap straight into things from interactive widgets.

Memory aid

Snap a photo

Attach a picture of the device or its battery compartment, so next time you remember which way the cells go and what tool you needed.
