metItem for Photographers
Gear tracking for photographers.
Track every lens, body, light, and battery. Check gear out for a shoot, check it back in, and know exactly who has what — no more spreadsheets, no more lost equipment.
Free for 100 items, forever — no credit card, no trial countdown
See it work in 23 seconds
A real run through the app, recorded on a phone and on a computer and edited into one 23-second clip — scanning a box of dryer sheets, checking it out, and the low-stock alert.
Scan a real product
Point your phone at a barcode and the item is added, code and all.
Check it out
Hand it to a person or a truck, and the quantity moves right away — free on every plan.
Get the alert
Cross your minimum level and the low-stock notification fires.
Sound familiar?
Three problems metItem is built to fix for photographers.
Where's the 24-70?
Gear gets lost between shoots, left in a rental car, or forgotten on a client's set. Spreadsheets don't tell you who picked it up last.
Did the assistant return the wireless mic kit?
Crew members borrow gear and forget to return it. By the time you notice, you're at the next shoot without the audio you need.
The insurance audit is tomorrow
Your $50K of bodies, lenses, and lighting needs serial numbers, purchase dates, and replacement values — and they're in three different places.
Built for the way photographers actually work
No bloat. No 40-tab settings panel. Just the features that turn tracking into a habit instead of a chore.
Scan a barcode with your phone
Point your phone at a barcode and metItem enters the code for you, so you do not type it. Scanning is free on every plan. Printed QR labels start on the Essential plan, and printed barcode labels on Ultra.
Check-out and check-in for shoots
Check a lens or a light out and type who it went to, such as a person or a shoot. Checking it back in restores the quantity. Every check-out records who did it and when.
Photos + serial numbers in one place
Every item holds a name, a code, a quantity, a price and one photo on the free plan, plus one field you define yourself, such as a serial number. The Essential plan raises that to five fields and five photos. Download any inventory's items as a CSV.
Low-stock alerts for consumables
Set a minimum on batteries, memory cards, and gels. metItem flags it in-app the moment you drop below, on any plan — emailed alerts from Essential up. The bell is free on every plan.
