Looking for beta testers for an AI powered box inventory app

I built Finoo because I was tired of opening boxes in my garage just to find one small thing.

I have a lot of storage bins with cables, tools, electronics, kids’ stuff, and random things I know I own… but can never find when I need them.

So I built Finoo.

The idea is simple:

Take a photo of a box or shelf
Finoo identifies and catalogs what’s inside
Later, search for an item and see exactly where it is
When the contents change, rescan instead of manually updating everything

The product is still in beta, and payments are not implemented yet, so I’m not looking for customers right now.

I’m looking for a small group of beta testers who genuinely have this problem and are willing to use the app with their own storage boxes and give me feedback.

What I especially want to learn:

Is the scanning flow intuitive?
Is AI item detection accurate enough?
Is search actually useful in real life?
Does the rescan workflow make maintaining an inventory easy enough?
What becomes annoying after using it for several boxes?

If you have a garage, basement, attic, workshop, storage room, or just too many boxes, I’d love to have you test it.

I’m much more interested in honest feedback than compliments. If something is confusing or useless, I want to know.

    I’m at a really similar stage with Zaivy right now, looking for a small number of people who genuinely have the problem rather than just generic beta testers. Have you found any channels or approaches that are actually getting the right people to try Finoo so far?

      Honestly no real strategy, I'm drowning in work and haven't had time to do proper marketing lol. I built Finoo mainly for myself since I actually needed it, so even if nobody else picks it up I'll keep building it because it's genuinely useful to me. Anyone else finding it is a nice bonus at this point.

        That makes sense, especially if you’re solving a problem you personally have. Appreciate the answer — good luck with Finoo.

    Spot on, that "maintenance tax" is why almost every inventory app fails. Nobody wants to do manual bookkeeping for storage boxes.

    My approach to tackle this:

    It's for deep storage: Not daily drawers, but stacked garage/attic bins where unstacking 5 heavy boxes takes 15 minutes.

    Zero-typing updates: When contents change, you just snap another photo and the AI diffs what's added or missing in one click.

    Whether that friction is truly low enough after 30 days is the exact hypothesis this beta is meant to test!

    The first few scans could be easy to appreciate, but the stronger test seems to be what happens a month later. Do beta users keep the inventory updated and rely on it to find things, or does maintaining it become more work than opening the box?

        That 30-day maintenance test is the right one. I’d be interested in seeing whether the photo-diff actually makes people maintain the inventory rather than reverting to memory. Happy to compare notes privately — what’s the best email to reach you on?

        1. 1

          Would love to connect and compare notes!

          The app is live right now at app.finoo.app and completely free to use, feel free to take it for a spin with a couple of boxes.

            Thanks! I’ve just sent it over.
