INVENTORY MODULEhousehold stock, not a warehouse
Know you’re out before you’re out.
Loo roll, dishwasher tablets, the good coffee, the spare lightbulbs in the garage. Track what you keep at home, see what’s running low, and let it slip onto the shopping list by itself.

01 · ONE HONEST STATE
Every shelf, labelled
like it means it.
Set a minimum and a “full” level once. From then on every item wears exactly one label, and if two apply, the more urgent one wins.
02 · THE REPLENISH LOOP
Running low writes the list.
Buying it refills the shelf.
Low and empty items land on a Replenish list in Shopping, sized to top them back up. Tick one off in the aisle and the stock count fixes itself at home.

Never on the list twice
Already waiting to be bought? It stays one row until someone ticks it.
Autopilot is per item
Switch auto-replenish off for the fancy olive oil you only buy at Christmas.
Expiring isn’t short
Going-off food is flagged, not re-bought. Full-but-off means bin it, not buy more.
03 · WHERE IT LIVES
Sorted by the room it’s in, not a spreadsheet.
Every item has a place and a kind. The rooms come ready-made. Rename them, add the loft or the camper, and see at a glance which cupboard needs a look.

Just used the last two eggs and the kids finished the cereal. Do we still have dishwasher tablets?
FamilyWell › inventory_adjust_quantity · eggs −2
FamilyWell › inventory_adjust_quantity · cereal −1
FamilyWell › inventory_list_items · dishwasher
Logged both. Eggs are empty and cereal is low, so they’re on the Replenish list now. Dishwasher tablets: 4 left, under your minimum of 8, and already on the list.
04 · JUST SAY IT
“We’re out of eggs.”
That’s the whole update.
Nobody opens an app to log one egg. Tell ChatGPT or Claude in passing and FamilyWell counts it down, flags what’s short and adds it to Replenish.
AND IF NOBODY SAYS ANYTHING, IT NUDGES

The last loo roll
should never be
a surprise.
Add the ten things you always run out of tonight. By the next shop, the list writes itself.
