Homebox is an open-source inventory and organization system for home users designed to catalog and manage household items with simplicity and speed. Written in Go with a web-based UI, Homebox emphasizes low resource usage and portable deployment, making it ideal for self-hosting with a single Docker container or a compiled binary. Users can organize inventory into categories, locations, and tags, attach images and documents, and track purchase dates, prices, warranties, and maintenance schedules to keep all home information in one place. The embedded web UI is responsive across devices from desktops to smartphones, providing powerful search and filters that let users find items quickly. Homebox supports custom fields for extended metadata and uses SQLite for easy setup and backups, facilitating straightforward deployment without complex infrastructure.
