Cataloging a drawer from a photograph

· Progress

The catalog of things gets filled from photographs:

  1. Snap the shelf, drawer, or open box with its label in frame.
  2. Claude reads the label for the address and lists the items, counts, and brands.
  3. It compares that with what the catalog expects there: new, still here, not seen, or unsure.
  4. I confirm with one tap or fix a line.
  5. The catalog updates, and the photo stays as evidence of when the place was last seen.

Claude proposes, a person confirms. Anything a photo misses is marked as not seen since that date, never deleted.

The first version needs no new infrastructure: photos go into an inbox folder, Claude Code updates plain files, and I review the change as a git diff. Later, an iOS Shortcut could post one photo to a small service.
