Welcome to the Gubbins wiki

Gubbins is a local-first inventory app for tracking your stuff — parts, tools, equipment, collections, household supplies, or a whole workshop. It runs entirely in your browser, works fully offline, and keeps all of your data on your own device.

This wiki explains every feature, concept, option and setting, with pictures. If you're new, start with the three pages below; otherwise jump straight to a section from the sidebar.

New here? Start with these

• Introduction — what Gubbins is, who it's for, and the ideas behind it.
• Installing Gubbins — supported browsers and installing the app.
• Quick start — from a blank slate to your first tracked item in a couple of minutes.
• Core concepts — the handful of ideas (items, locations, stock, tracking modes) that everything else builds on.
