Name the thing
Type enough to recognize it later. Add a photo when the exact object or included pieces matter.

Loan It
Know who has what, and when it should come home.
Books. Tools. Games. Equipment. The things you lend do not need a full inventory system. They need a quick record at the moment they leave your hands.
Free core lending tracker. Pro is a one-time purchase. No account. No ads.
A small record, right when you need it.Item. Person. Date. Photos. Done.
BooksScan the ISBN instead of typing.
ToolsPhotograph what leaves the garage.
Games & kitsKeep a visual record of the whole set.
Anything elseIf someone walks away with it, record it.
The useful minimum
Record it before they walk away.
A lending system fails when recording the loan becomes a project. Loan It keeps the handoff small enough to do while the item is actually changing hands.
02
Choose the person
Enter a borrower manually or select one through Android's contact picker without handing the app your entire address book.
03
Add a due date if it matters
Then forget about the record until you need it. Search, filter, mark it returned, or let Pro remind you before it is due.
Some loans are easier to photograph than describe.
A tool with a battery and charger. A game with several pieces. A kit whose contents you will not remember three months from now. Attach the picture to the loan instead of trying to write an inventory.
How to photograph what you lend →
Useful when memory gets vague.
The point is not to maintain a beautiful database. The point is to answer the annoying questions that show up after the handoff.
Search quickly
Search item descriptions and borrower names instead of scrolling through every loan.
Filter what matters
See overdue, due soon, outstanding, returned, or all loans. Sort by recent loans, due date, or borrower.
Mark it returned
Close the loop from the loan list, borrower view, or details screen, with Undo if you tap by mistake.
See it by borrower
Open a person to see what they currently have and the lending history you share with them.
Export your records
Export CSV or JSON for your own backups, spreadsheets, or record-keeping outside the app.
Get reminded before it is due
Loan It Pro can notify you before an item is due, with the lead time you choose.
Scan the barcode. Skip the typing.
For books, scan an ISBN barcode and Loan It can fill in available metadata from Open Library, including title, author, publisher, publication date, page count, and ISBN.

Who has my stuff?
Loan It keeps borrower history close to the current loan list. That makes it useful for the ordinary version of lending: friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, classrooms, clubs, and small shared collections.

Ulix Knowledge
Better lending without building an inventory.
Loan It grew out of a simple idea: record only enough structure to answer the questions you will actually ask later.
Lend the thing. Keep the record.
Loan It gives you a small, private answer to a surprisingly persistent question: who has my stuff?
