Almost every prepper starts with a spreadsheet. It works beautifully for about a month. Then you make a Costco run and don't log it, your spouse pulls three cans of soup for dinner, you rotate a bucket without updating the row, and slowly the file becomes a record of your intentions rather than your supplies.
The failure is predictable, because the spreadsheet only gets updated at a desk and the supplies only get touched in the basement. By the time you notice, you're guessing. And guessing is how you end up with three years of rice and six days of batteries, which is not a one-year supply, it's a one-year supply of rice.
An inventory is only worth keeping if it stays true. That means updating it has to take seconds, in the room, on the phone that's already in your pocket.
Knowing you own 118 packages tells you nothing. StockWell turns your stock into the number that matters: how many days your household could run on what's on the shelves right now, calculated per category so a mountain of flour can't hide an empty first-aid box.
Water, medicine, first aid, fuel, batteries, hygiene and gear sit in the same inventory as your food. Preparedness fails at its thinnest category, so the thin one is the one you need surfaced.
Record a best-by or packed-on date and StockWell tells you what to eat next. First-expired-first-out, without you having to remember which bucket got sealed in which year.
Map every place you store, down to the shelf and bin. A deep pantry spread across four locations is exactly the case a kitchen app was never built for, and exactly the case where 'where did I put it' costs you the most.
Scan a product barcode to add it, and print QR labels for buckets and bins. Scanning a label pulls up what's inside and lets you mark it used in a couple of taps, which is the only update habit that survives contact with real life.
Export a printable PDF of your full inventory for the binder that sits with your supplies. The digital version is for maintaining it; the printed one is for the day the power is out and the phone is dead.
The coverage view ranks your categories by how long each would last. It's an uncomfortable screen the first time, because almost everyone discovers their real limit is something unglamorous: batteries, or a prescription, or first aid. Better to learn that now than in week two of an outage.

Sortly and its cousins are built for tracking business assets, and pantry apps like Pantry Check are built for weeknight groceries. Both can technically hold a list of your supplies. Neither was designed around the questions preppers actually ask.
Yes, and that's the point. Most pantry apps only understand groceries. StockWell tracks water, medicine, first aid, batteries, fuel, ammunition, hygiene and gear alongside food, because a preparedness stock isn't just calories. Each category gets its own days-of-supply reading, so you can see that you're deep on rice and thin on batteries.
Yes. You define storage areas (basement, garage, vehicle kit, off-site cache, go-bag) and locations inside them (shelf 2, bin A, top drawer). Every package is assigned a place, so you can answer 'where is it' without walking the house. The free Starter plan covers one area and five locations; paid plans are unlimited.
Not today, and it would be dishonest to claim otherwise. StockWell is a web app and needs a connection to load. What it does give you is a printable PDF inventory report, so you can keep a paper copy in your binder or with your supplies, which is the version that still works when nothing else does. Offline access is on the roadmap.
A spreadsheet is fine at recording what you bought. It's bad at telling you what changed. It can't warn you that something expires in three weeks, can't compute days of supply as you eat into your stores, and can't be updated in ten seconds while you're standing in the basement. Most prepper spreadsheets are accurate the day they're made and quietly wrong forever after.
You record a best-by or packed-on date when you add a package, and StockWell surfaces what expires soonest so you eat it before it dies. You can print QR labels for buckets and bins, then scan one with your phone to pull up exactly what's inside and mark it used.
Your inventory is visible only to your household. It isn't shared, sold, or published. For a lot of preppers that's a hard requirement, not a preference.
The Starter plan is free forever and covers a small stock: one storage area, five locations, 25 packages. The Prepared plan is $6/month or $60/year for unlimited areas, locations and packages, plus the analytics dashboard, barcode scanner and label printing. New households get 30 days of Prepared free.
Set up your storage areas, log your stock, and get a real days-of-supply number instead of a feeling. Start on the free plan or take the full toolkit for a 30-day test drive.
