FAQ
Can this work for a junk drawer?
Yes. Use move for items with a better home and check for unknown keys, batteries, blades, or broken pieces.
What should not go back immediately?
Do not return sticky, sharp, broken, or unknown items until they are cleaned or checked.
What fields matter most?
Item, lane, why it matters, and next action are enough. Add owner only for shared kitchens or mixed household drawers.
