Tracking technologies
Use the tools you already have
QR codes

Bluetooth beacons

Photos (up to 20 per box)

Documents
ReceiptsStore receipts, warranties, and insurance references alongside the item.
Loan tracking
Due datesTrack who borrowed what — and when it’s due back.
Alerts
RemindersExpiration alerts, low-quantity warnings, and warranty tracking if you enable them.
Sync & backup
Local-first portability
LAN sync (Android ↔ Windows)
OptionalSync over local Wi‑Fi keeps data on your LAN; cloud accounts are only needed if you enable Google Drive backups. Encrypted in transit.
ZIP exports
BackupExport your data and store it where you choose — Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, NAS, or external storage. Link a Google account and Placefolio can automatically upload new ZIP exports to a Drive folder you control.
Important: because Placefolio keeps your data local by default, your backups are your recovery path; you can optionally enable automatic Google Drive backups by linking a Google account.
If you need help setting up exports or sync, contact Support.
Privacy & security
Designed around one constraint: your data stays yours
Offline-first
DefaultNo accounts. No external servers. Your inventory stays on-device.

SQLCipherWhere supported, you can choose stronger local protection for sensitive data.
