Scanlily is an inventory and asset-management service that uses photos and AI to describe and categorize items, with optional QR labels for finding item or container records. Image recognition can create names, descriptions, categories, and metadata, including for several items in one shelf or storage-box photo.

A phone camera can scan a QR code to view or update information in a browser without installing the app; access can require a passcode.
