The product
What is DrawerSense?
Physical context for AI, starting with the things you put away. The Vision Bar sits inside a drawer; last-seen records bring an object, a place, a time and supporting evidence together.
How is this different from taking a photo?
A photo can be enough for storage that rarely changes. DrawerSense focuses on last-seen drawer observations. The reason to choose it would be a useful record with less upkeep; that advantage needs to be demonstrated for your setup.
Why not label my drawers or use an inventory app?
Labels help when things return to the same place. An inventory app can catalogue belongings across rooms and containers. DrawerSense focuses on observations inside covered drawers. If your current method works, there may be no reason to replace it.
How is this different from an AirTag?
An AirTag helps locate the tag attached to a particular belonging. DrawerSense focuses on a record of visible contents in a drawer. It is not a replacement for locating an item after it leaves drawer coverage.
Does it track things around the house?
A drawer record describes what was seen there. If an item moves outside coverage, its current location is unknown until another observation establishes where it was seen.
Can I try the experience?
Yes. The interactive demo has four example conditions: last observation, another drawer, partly hidden and out of view. It uses simulated records and does not connect to your camera or AI accounts.
Fit, installation & power
What should I check before purchasing?
Confirm hardware dimensions, mounting, camera visibility and enough clearance for free drawer movement. Final measurements and fit requirements are not published here; request them before ordering.
Does every drawer need a Vision Bar?
The Starter Kit includes two Vision Bars, one for each independently moving drawer. Confirm supplied accessories with your purchase details.
How do I choose a mounting position?
Start with a temporary position. Check the view and free movement before attaching hardware. Follow the supplied installation instructions; the images on this site are illustrations.
What are the power requirements?
Confirm the charging method, any permanent power options and accessories before purchasing. No battery-life figure or charging interval is established on this site.
Which drawers are a good fit?
Start with ordinary dry indoor storage and visible everyday objects. Stacked contents, deep containers and difficult lighting can limit the view. Environmental ratings for wet, outdoor or hot spaces are not established.
Will two drawers cover enough of my things?
Think about your last few searches and where the items turned up. The kit is a closer fit if those searches repeatedly lead to the same two drawers. It will not provide whole-house coverage for belongings left elsewhere.
Can I use it for boxes, shelves or cupboards?
The Starter Kit is scoped to drawers. Fit and capture performance for boxes, shelves and cupboards have not been established. Do not assume a camera can identify contents through a closed or opaque container.
Answers, AI & privacy
Can it identify hidden items or count every component?
An image cannot reliably establish what is behind an opaque container or hidden under another object. Exact counts, hidden specifications, battery condition and compatibility need their own evidence.
What does “last seen” mean?
It names a place and time from an observation. It does not guarantee the item is still there. Check the record’s age and supporting image, especially when contents have moved.
What happens if the camera misses a change or gets an item wrong?
A missed change can leave an old record; a mistaken identification can point to the wrong object. Check the time and supporting image before relying on an answer. Measured error rates and the hardware correction workflow are not established here.
Does it work with Home Assistant, OpenClaw or my AI?
API / MCP, Home Assistant and OpenClaw connections are not currently available. Confirm compatibility before purchasing for a specific workflow. These names do not imply a partnership or endorsement.
Does this site access my camera?
No. The website and demo do not access your camera, microphone, possessions, AI accounts or devices.
Is hardware data processed locally?
A verified hardware processing specification is not available here. Confirm processing location, cloud dependencies, offline behaviour and deletion controls before placing cameras in your space.
Is it recording continuously, and who can see the images?
Capture timing, image retention and hardware access controls must be confirmed for the kit you purchase. Agree the camera’s view with everyone who shares the space. Do not assume continuous recording or private, local-only storage from the illustrations.
Can it tell me who borrowed something?
A drawer observation does not identify a borrower or prove a handover. Use an agreed checkout process when borrower accountability is the job.
Everyday use
Will this become another inventory I have to maintain?
That is the key trade-off to check. Capture only helps if setup, charging and correcting records take less effort than your current method. We do not have a published long-term comparison showing lower upkeep.
Do I have to log every item by hand?
The aim is to capture drawer observations rather than rely on a manually updated list. The actual capture and correction process needs to be confirmed with the hardware. The website demo does not measure automatic capture.
Does everyone in the household need to change their routine?
Useful coverage still depends on where things are stored and whether they remain visible. If shared items regularly end up outside the covered drawers, a drawer record may not answer the household’s main question.
Can it manage stock, expiry dates or tool borrowing?
A last-seen image is not a complete stock ledger or checkout system. Exact quantities, expiry dates and borrower records need their own reliable data. Choose a dedicated inventory or checkout tool when that is the job.
Purchasing & support
How do I purchase a Starter Kit?
Select Buy the Starter Kit for kit and purchase details. The enquiry form lets you request confirmed specifications, delivery timing and total cost. Sending it does not place an order or take payment.
What does the A$249 price include?
A$249 is an indicative price for a two-drawer kit. Hardware specifications, accessories, software costs, taxes and delivery must be confirmed before any purchase. It is not a confirmed delivered total.
Is there a subscription?
No subscription starts through this website. Any ongoing service or software charges must be confirmed as part of the purchase details.
What happens after I send a purchase enquiry?
Your enquiry is saved for review and a private removal receipt appears on screen. A confirmation email may follow; the screen shows its status. No order is created, and permission to answer your enquiry does not subscribe you to marketing.
When will it arrive, and what if it is not right for me?
Request the delivery estimate, shipping cost, cancellation, returns and support terms with your purchase details. A purchase enquiry does not start a delivery commitment or charge your card.
Can I remove my enquiry?
Yes. Use the receipt shown after submission on the Privacy page to remove that entry. If you lose it, contact us; removal without a receipt requires identity verification.
