Where It Is — a photo catalogue of a home

A catalogue of things in a home: rooms as photographs with pins. Say out loud where you put something, and half a year later ask in plain words where it is.

Installed on a phone and in use; available both as a web app and as an Android build.

What it is

The problem is old and universal: you put something away somewhere safe and forget where. Nobody will keep a written list of it — too slow, which is why it never sticks. Here the input is voice: say out loud what you put where, and that is it. The search is in plain words too, not by pre-made categories: “the charger from the old camera” is found even if nobody called it that when recording.

The rooms are photographs with pins on them: a person searches with their eyes, the way they would in the flat itself. A vision model runs on the same machine and describes what is visible on a shelf by itself — so the catalogue grows without anyone typing.

Specifications: Node.js, a local vision model, speech recognition; installable both as a web app and as an Android build. Nothing leaves the home: the photographs and the recognition both live on the device. For the same reason there are no screenshots on the showcase — they would show somebody’s actual flat.
