About
So who's idea is this anyway? Me, Matt Reed. The story goes like this, once upon a time at 3am in New York I took a cab ride back to my hotel. After getting back in my room I realized, "Hey, my wallet is missing!" It was still in the cab and now long gone. Luckily, the cabbie was a nice guy and turned it in to the bellhop. Yes, in NYC!
After that I realized that if I had lost my wallet, short of a couple credit cards and $14, I had no idea what was actually in there. So, I made this app the help remind me what all I actually have. Naturally the concept extends past the wallet to other areas like Homes and Vehicles.
