An iPhone app fits taking inventory photos and scanning barcodes as you check supplies.

Plan ahead: A barcode identifies an item but does not supply its name or photo, so let users enter those details when a code is first scanned.

A prompt to build your own version of Sortly

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Sortly-style app, first version

Build an iPhone app for tracking my inventory and supplies at home or in a small business. The main screen should show a searchable list of items with photos, quantities, storage locations and clear low-stock badges. Let me tap an item to see its details, increase or decrease its quantity and set a low-stock threshold. Add an item button with fields for a name, photo, quantity, location and barcode. A scan button should open the camera and find a matching item, or let me create an item with that barcode if none exists. Include a low-stock filter. Save everything on the phone. Use a clean white and navy design with large buttons. Start with realistic sample supplies and sample barcode values.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Sortly won't have

Sortly mainly saves you from running the software yourself and moving an existing inventory and its history into a new system.

  • Existing Sortly inventory setup
  • Accumulated Sortly activity history
