Bulk Add

Bulk Add is a 3-step wizard for creating multiple bins at once from photos. Instead of creating bins one at a time, you can photograph several containers, let AI suggest names and contents for each, and create them all in a single batch.

Access

From the bins list page, tap the + create button and select Bulk Add from the menu.

Step 1 — Upload Photos

Select up to 20 photos at once. Each photo becomes a candidate bin — one photo per bin.

Pick photos of the containers, shelves, or drawers you want to catalog. Clear, well-lit photos produce the best AI suggestions in the next step.

Step 2 — Review Suggestions

AI analyzes each uploaded photo and suggests:

  • Bin name — a descriptive name based on what it sees in the photo
  • Items — a list of individual items visible in the photo
  • Tags — relevant category tags
  • Notes — any additional context the AI picks up

Each candidate shows a thumbnail preview of its photo alongside the suggestions.

You can:

  • Edit any suggestion — change the name, add or remove items, adjust tags, or rewrite notes.
  • Skip a candidate — exclude it from the batch without deleting the photo.
  • Retry — re-run AI analysis on a single photo if the first suggestion was off.

TIP

Bulk Add works without AI configured, but you will need to fill in all bin details manually for each photo. Configuring an AI provider (see AI Features) makes this step significantly faster.

Step 3 — Create

Choose an area to assign the new bins to (or leave them unassigned), then tap Create to generate all bins at once.

Each bin is created with its suggested (or manually edited) name, items, tags, and notes. The uploaded photo is automatically attached to its respective bin.

Requirements

  • An AI provider must be configured for automatic photo analysis. See AI Features for setup instructions.
  • Photos follow the same format and size limits as regular bin photos. See Photos for details.
  • AI Features — Configure the AI provider that powers photo analysis
  • Photos — Photo formats, sizes, and management
  • Bins — The bins created by Bulk Add
