Halloween
The costumes are in the garage tote you photographed last November. Ask, and the answer is G3.
Home inventory
Give everything a place your household can find.
Big bins, spare towels, the folder of instruction manuals, and the holiday decorations. Photograph the shelf once, give each spot a label, and anyone in the house can find the thing and put it back.
Nothing is added until you approve it.

Hi families, great to have everyone back.
Practices are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4:00 to 5:15, starting Sept 8 at Ridgeway Field (upper pitch). Our first game is Saturday, Sept 19 at 9:00, home.
Every player needs shin guards, cleats, a size 4 ball, and a water bottle. Please label everything.
Two quick things: the waiver is due this Friday, and I still need two families for the snack schedule. Oct 3 is open.
See you Tuesday, Coach Dana

Everything in the house gets a spot. Here is how.
1One photo per spot
A garage shelf, a linen closet, or a tote of decorations. Take one photo and DrawerPilot proposes what it sees. You review it.
2A label on the bin
Each spot gets a short code, like G5, that matches a sticker on the bin or shelf.
3Search, or snap
Search for the beach towels, or point the camera at the pool toys and see where they go. Plain-language search is part of Pro.
4Put it back later
Tap Put away or Take out on any item and the task lands on someone’s list with the spot label.

3 items spotted · Spot code M2 ready
Any afternoonOne photo per bin
Photograph it once. Find it next season.
Open a closet, a shelf of totes, or a drawer and take one photo. DrawerPilot proposes the spots and what is in them, you fix any names, and each spot gets a short label. Closed bins get your own note.
- One photo per drawer, bin, or shelf. The mudroom takes ten minutes.
- Spot codes like M2 match a sticker on the bin, so anyone can put things back.
- Photograph a tote again when it changes. The label stays the same.
The 7:48 AM questionWhere are the cleats
Ask for things the way you would ask a person.
Where are Maya’s cleats. Did we keep last year’s backpack. Which tote has the Halloween costumes. DrawerPilot answers with the room, the spot, and the label on the bin.
- Search by name on Free. Ask in plain words with Smart Search on Pro.
- Anyone in the household can search, including the sitter you invited.
- Answers show the photo, so you know it is the right pair.

Everything has a spot. Everyone can find it.
Once a bin has a label, anything can be put back by whoever is holding it, and the seasonal swap becomes two taps instead of a conversation.

Where does this go?
Snap an item. DrawerPilot points to the labeled spot.

Blue summer tote
Look for the G3 label here
Snap the pool toys. See where they go.
Point the camera at what is in your hands. The answer is the room, the tote, and the label on it: G3, the blue tote in the garage.
- Works for the kids and the sitter too.
- Or just ask. Where are Maya’s cleats. Same answer, no camera.
Two taps to put away or take out.
Open any item and tap Put away or Take out. Pick who does it, and it lands on their list with the tote label. Summer clothes go up to the attic. Fall coats and the soccer gear come down.
- The task carries the exact tote or shelf, so nobody has to ask where.
- You see a check mark when it is done.

Then the weekEveryone on one plan
One week, one view, everyone who needs it.
School days, practices, the game, the deadlines, and what is left to buy, on a plan the household shares. Nobody has to text you to ask.
- Every item keeps its source: the packet, the coach, or the house.
- Tasks have a name on them. That person gets the push, not you.
- The shopping list sits in the same week, sorted by store, with sizes written down.
- Chores repeat on a chart the kids can read.

Common questions
What families ask before they start.
Anything not covered here, write to hello@drawerpilot.com and a person will answer.
When can I start using DrawerPilot?
DrawerPilot is available now. Create an account, set up your household, and invite the people who share it.
Can I drop in the school prep sheet as a PDF?
Yes. Drop in the PDF, a photo of the printed sheet, or the text itself. DrawerPilot sorts what it finds into dates, things to buy, and things to sign, and you approve each group before anything is added.
What happens when I paste an email from a coach or a teacher?
DrawerPilot picks out the dates, the gear or supplies, and the to-dos. You review each one, decide what to buy, and save what the household needs.
Can I import an entire school-year calendar?
Yes. Add a school calendar, sports schedule, daycare packet, or activity list, then review the grouped dates before anything is added.
What types of calendars and schedules can I add?
You can add school, sports, daycare, activity, family, and other household schedules from connected calendars, PDFs, or ICS files.
How does photo search work?
Photograph a drawer, shelf, tote, closet, or room. DrawerPilot remembers what is there so you can later ask where an item belongs.
Does everyone in the household need an account?
No. You can keep people assignable for chores without giving them an account. Invite only the people who need to sign in.
Can I invite a babysitter or cleaner?
Yes. Invite them to the household, which is part of Pro. They see the household calendar, lists, chores, and item locations, not your personal inbox.
What can DrawerPilot see when I connect Google Calendar?
Only the calendars and events you choose. Contacts, email history, and unselected events stay outside DrawerPilot.
What happens to a PDF after I upload it?
DrawerPilot reads the file or pasted text to propose dates, supplies, and to-dos. Nothing enters the household plan until you review and approve it. The privacy policy covers how uploads are handled.
How much does DrawerPilot cost?
Free covers one household with one person signed in and a monthly limit on AI features. Pro is $5 a month or $50 a year. It adds unlimited AI usage and lets you invite the rest of the household. One Pro plan covers everyone in it.
