A digital memory for physical things
Your mower, your chainsaw, the furnace filter, your grandfather’s bowl — what each one needs, what’s been done to it, and what it means, kept in one place.
The whole life of a thing
What it is, what’s been done to it, where it’s been, and what it means — one timeline per object.
The specs you only reach for once a year, plus a running log of everything you've done to it.
The 50:1 mix the chainsaw takes. Every oil change on the mower.
Group your things by room or shelf, so you can actually find them again.
The seven things you keep in the living room — found in a tap.
Lend something and you'll both remember whose it is — and when it's due back.
Your tile saw, out with Joe until the flooring job's done.
The provenance and the small stories, kept with the object itself.
The bowl from Grandpa Jones, the summer you planted irises at the cottage.
Lending, without losing
When you lend something, it lands in their journal too — what it is, when it’s due, and a gentle nudge when it’s time to come home. No awkward texts. No ‘wait, whose drill is this?’
“I use ObjectJournal so we both remember whose drill it is.”
Snap a photo and start a record. Photos are how you find and recognize what you own.
Keep parts with their wholes. Car → engine → oil filter, all in their place.
Full-text search across names, notes, and tags. The serial number you wrote down is right here.
Keep transferable facts separate from personal notes, so sharing stays simple.
Every repair, every entry, dated and kept in order. The whole history at a glance.
Send an object’s history to the next owner when you sell or gift it.
Begin with the things you’d hate to lose track of. Free to get started.
