Invite-only preview. The AllOurThings iOS app is currently available to invited testers only. Public release on the App Store is coming soon.

What you can do

  • Catalog your belongings — Add items with a name, category, brand, model, and location
  • Attach photos — Take a photo or import from your library to keep a visual record
  • Attach documents — Save manuals, receipts, and warranties alongside each item
  • Track purchase and warranty info — Store retailer, price, purchase date, and warranty expiry
  • Search and filter — Find anything instantly by name, brand, category, or location
  • Add notes and tags — Attach free-form notes and custom tags to any item

Setting up your storage folder

When you first open AllOurThings, you'll be asked to choose a folder where your inventory will be stored. This can be a local folder on your device, or a cloud folder via iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or any other storage provider that appears in the iOS Files app.

Using iCloud Drive or Dropbox means your inventory is automatically available across your devices and can also be read by the AllOurThings MCP server on your desktop.

You can change your storage folder at any time from the Settings screen inside the app.

What is the MCP server?

The AllOurThings MCP server connects your inventory to AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol — currently Claude Desktop. Once connected, you can ask plain-English questions about everything in your inventory.

The server reads directly from the same folder used by the iOS app, so everything stays in sync with no extra setup.

Setting up with Claude Desktop

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file, then restart Claude Desktop. Your inventory folder path should match the one you set up in the iOS app.

macOS   ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows  %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "allourthings": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@allourthings/mcp-server", "--data-dir", "~/Documents/AllOurThings"]
    }
  }
}

Change --data-dir to match the folder you chose in the iOS app. If you're using iCloud Drive, the path will be something like ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/AllOurThings.
