For enthusiasts who gather multiple Apple products over time, keeping an organized record can become a tedious task. Hoardware, a new indie application, aims to simplify this process by offering a dedicated tool for cataloging Apple devices. The app launched recently as part of the Indie App Spotlight series on 9to5 Mac, targeting users who own various models of i Phones, i Pads, Macs, and other Apple hardware.
Hoardware allows users to log each device they own, including details like model, purchase date, condition, and storage capacity. The interface is designed to be straightforward, enabling quick entry and easy browsing of a personal collection. By centralizing this information, the app helps users avoid duplicate purchases and better manage upgrades or resale plans. It also supports adding photos and notes, making it useful for insurance or warranty tracking.
The app works by letting users create a profile for each Apple product they own. Once added, devices appear in a clean, sortable list that can be filtered by type or purchase year. Users can mark items as active, stored, or sold, giving them a clear view of their current inventory. According to early feedback, collectors appreciate the ability to generate summary reports for tax or resale purposes. The developer emphasizes privacy, noting that all data remains stored locally on the user’s device unless they choose to back it up via i Cloud.
Hoardware supports a wide range of Apple products, including current and legacy models of i Phone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and AirPods. Users can manually enter older or discontinued items not automatically recognized by the system. The app does not require an internet connection to function, making it accessible even in areas with poor connectivity. Future updates may include barcode scanning and integration with purchase receipts from email or Apple ID history.
Is Hoardware free to use? The app offers a free version with basic tracking features, while a one-time unlock provides access to advanced tools like export options and custom fields.
Can I share my collection with others? Currently, Hoardware does not include sharing functions, but users can export their data as a file to send via email or cloud services.
Does the app work on Mac and iPad? Yes, Hoardware is available as a universal app for i Phone, iPad, and Mac, with synchronized data across devices when using i Cloud backup.
