itmly

Overview 📦

itmly is a universal item management platform — track, organize, and catalog anything you own, collect, or care about. From household inventory to hobby collections, itmly makes it effortless to know what you have, what it's worth, and where it is.

The Goal 🎯

Build a flexible item management tool that works for any use case — not just inventory, not just collections, but everything. The platform needed to be powerful enough for serious catalogers while staying approachable for casual users, with AI doing the heavy lifting on data entry.

The Build 🤖

itmly was developed through the same internal build pipeline as ShankLab — proving the workflow is repeatable across entirely different product domains. The result is a complete application with AI-powered data entry, photo recognition, barcode scanning, real-time market intelligence, subscription billing, and secure cloud storage.
