Small on purpose. Built to stay.

I built ItemTally because inventory software forgot who it was for. The tools I tried were built for a warehouse I didn’t have, or for a spreadsheet I kept outgrowing. The good ones were ERPs; the simple ones fell apart at the first serialised item.

So I built the thing I wanted: scan a label, see what it is and who has it, hand it to a person with a due date, and have every change written down. Today that runs in the phone’s browser. The native apps are in testing.

It keeps the two things most tools make you choose between: stock you count and equipment you lend. People can return what they borrowed from a link, with no account.

It is deliberately not an ERP: no purchase orders, invoices, vendors or shipping. Plenty of tools do those well. ItemTally does one job.

ItemTally is a product of Ethereal Labs AB, a Swedish company in Göteborg, and the terms are governed by Swedish law. Your register is hosted in the EU with Hetzner. A few services around it, such as e-mail and payments, are US companies, and the EU hosting and GDPR page names every one, with what it sees.

No investors and no plans to sell. People pay for it because it’s useful, so I answer to customers, not to a board chasing a return. Nobody is going to make me meter your items or raise your price to hit someone else’s number.

I’m building ItemTally to run for a long time and get better every month, in the open on the roadmap and the changelog. The goal is to be the inventory tool you set up once and never think about switching away from.
