Spots
A Spot represents a specific area within a Place where Things can be stored. Think of it like a room, a closet, or any specific location that helps you track where your stuff actually is.
Spots make it easier to find your things fast, see what you have where, and keep your inventory accurate as you move stuff around.
While adding Spots is optional, they give you more control over your organization. If you like to keep things simple, you can just add one Spot called “Main” instead of breaking it down into detailed areas like "Bedroom," "Garage," or "Pantry."

Viewing, Editing, & Deleting Spots

Pro Tips
- Make It Work for You – If you don’t need hyper-detailed organization, just use one general Spot per Place. But if you love structure, Spots let you break things down as much as you want.
- Use Spots to Keep Track of Rotating Gear – Got seasonal gear? Stuff that moves around a lot? Spots help you quickly update where things are (e.g., "Summer Storage" to "Winter Setup").
- If You Move It, Update It – Just like real life, your inventory should reflect where your things actually are. If you move something, take 2 seconds to update its Spot.
