ThingzSafe
Included with Pro

Just say it.
ThingzSafe keeps count.

Hands full in the kitchen or the workshop? Tell Alexa what you have used or bought, and your inventory is updated without touching your phone.

See what you can sayHow it works

Alexa voice commands use UK English. Translated examples explain how it works; they do not promise voice support in other languages.

How it works

Say it. Alexa checks. Done.

  1. Link Alexa once

    Connect Alexa to your ThingzSafe household. You never say a password aloud.

  2. Say what you want

    Talk the way you normally would. Add, use, move, count or find.

  3. Alexa checks, then confirms

    If anything is unclear, Alexa asks first. When it has made a change, it tells you the new total.

Try saying

Everyday words. Everyday jobs.

Bought more

“Add four tins of tomatoes to the kitchen cupboard.”

Four tins are added to what you already have.

Used some

“Remove a tin of tomatoes from the kitchen cupboard.”

One tin comes off the total.

Finished something

“I've finished a packet of teabags.”
“I've used up a tube of toothpaste.”

One packet or tube is taken off. Alexa asks where it was if it needs to.

How many left?

“How many tins of tomatoes are in the kitchen cupboard?”

Alexa reads out the number.

Where is it?

“Where do I have tomatoes?”
“Where is my drill?”

Alexa tells you where it is recorded.

Moving stock

“Move two tins of tomatoes from the kitchen cupboard to the barn store.”

Two tins leave one place and arrive in the other.

Counted it yourself

“There are five jars of tomatoes in the kitchen cupboard.”

The total becomes five. It does not add five. Alexa checks with you first.

Made a mistake

“Undo that.”

Alexa checks what the last change was and asks before reversing it.

Quick modes

A cupboard full of entries. One quick mode.

Restocking or counting a shelf? Say “Start quick add mode for the kitchen cupboard”, then give names and quantities one after another. Quick add increases the recorded stock. Quick stock check replaces it with the count you have just made.

No yes or no for each clear entry. Say “Finish” when you are done. If a name is unclear, Alexa asks.

Quick-mode examples

Careful by design

Clear commands. Clear stock changes.

You do not need to remember every name perfectly. If Alexa is not sure, it asks. Nothing changes until it is clear what you meant.

YouAdd four cans of gherkins to the barn cupboard.
AlexaDid you mean add four cans of gherkins to the barn store?
YouYes.
AlexaAdded four cans of gherkins. You now have six in the barn store.

Got it wrong? Say “No”, and Alexa asks what you meant. Say “Cancel” to stop, or “Actually, make that three” to change the amount.

Made for real life

The kitchen cupboard. The workshop shelf. The barn store.

Kitchen and larder

Keep track of tins, packets and spares as you use them, without stopping to type.

Workshops and sheds

Know how many screws, filters or spare parts are left while your hands are busy.

Stores and cupboards for a group

A club, a classroom or a small business can keep a shared store up to date by voice.

Never run out by surprise

Know what is running low.

Items stay in ThingzSafe when they reach zero, so you can find them and restock them later.

Use the out-of-stock report and ThingzSafe shopping list to see what has run out and share what to buy. Ask Alexa what has run out.

You stay in charge

Simple rules that keep your stock safe.

  • Alexa never guesses. If it is unsure, it asks.
  • It never lets a total drop below zero without checking with you.
  • Use ordinary commands for individual changes, or quick mode for a run of entries in one location.
  • You can undo your last voice change.
  • Every voice change appears in your change history.
  • Use read-only mode if you want family or guests to check items without changing them.
  • You can disconnect Alexa at any time. Your inventory stays exactly as it is.
