I built Stowby because I was tired of using WhatsApp as file storage. Insurance policies, receipts, screenshots, PDFs, photos, videos, and links were scattered across chats. Stowby lets you save everything in one place and find it later using natural language instead of folders or filenames. Just search for "car insurance" or "that IKEA receipt" and Stowby finds the right file. My first Android app—I'd love your feedback!
👋 Hi Product Hunt!
I'm excited (and a little nervous) to launch Stowby, my very first Android app.
I didn't build it because I wanted to make another AI app. I built it because I had a problem that kept driving me crazy.
For years I used WhatsApp and email as my personal storage. I'd send myself insurance documents, receipts, screenshots, photos, PDFs, videos, links—basically anything I thought I might need later.
The problem wasn't saving things. The problem was finding them again.
Months later I'd remember, "I know I saved that somewhere..." and then spend ages scrolling through chats or searching emails with the wrong keywords.
So I built Stowby.
Now I just drop anything into it and forget about it. When I need it later, I simply search using whatever I remember, and it finds the right file.
One funny moment convinced me it was worth publishing.
While testing, I had saved a random photo of a closed shelf. Weeks later I couldn't find my screwdriver, so as a joke I searched for "screwdriver." The app found that photo because it had recognized the screwdriver sitting on the shelf.
That was the moment I thought, "Okay... maybe this is useful for more than just me."

Thank you for checking it out! Every piece of feedback helps me make Stowby better. 🚀
Congrats on shipping your first app. How does the natural language search actually work under the hood, is everything processed on-device or does the content get sent to a server to be indexed?
@nurimzi1 Thanks! 😊 Search is powered by server-side indexing rather than running entirely on-device. When you add content, it's processed and indexed so you can later search using natural language instead of exact keywords. I intentionally keep the implementation details fairly high level, but the goal is to make finding saved things feel as natural as asking another person
Congrats on the first Android app, the natural language search is a genuinely smart choice over forcing people to tag or rename things they just want to dump somewhere.
