AllOurThings

# AllOurThings > AI-powered personal inventory management. Catalog everything you own and ask natural language questions about your stuff — appliances, warranties, manuals, electronics, collectibles, and more. Privacy-first: your data stays in a folder you control, never uploaded to any server. ## What AllOurThings does AllOurThings is a household inventory system designed for AI-assisted queries.

Supports `--json` flag for machine-readable output and `--data-dir` to override the data directory. ## Privacy model AllOurThings never uploads inventory data to any server.
