Freezers & Compartments

Freezers and compartments let you model the physical layout of your freezer storage so you can quickly find where things are.

Adding a Freezer

To add a freezer to your household:

  1. Navigate to the freezer overview page
  2. Select Add Freezer
  3. Enter a name (required) -- for example, "Kitchen Freezer" or "Garage Chest Freezer"
  4. Optionally add a description for extra context, like the brand or location in your home
  5. Save

Any household member can add a freezer.

Freezer Dashboard

The freezer overview page shows all freezers in your current household at a glance. From here you can:

  • See how many compartments and items each freezer contains
  • Navigate into a specific freezer to view its compartments and items
  • Add new freezers

Compartments

Compartments represent the physical sections inside a freezer -- drawers, shelves, door bins, or however you divide the space. Every item must be assigned to a compartment, so setting these up first makes organizing your inventory much easier.

Adding a Compartment

  1. Open a freezer
  2. Select Add Compartment
  3. Enter a name -- for example, "Top Drawer", "Bottom Shelf", or "Door"
  4. Set its position to control the display order
  5. Save

Editing and Reordering Compartments

You can rename a compartment or change its position at any time. Reordering compartments changes the display order only -- it does not move any items.

Deleting a Compartment

You can delete a compartment only if it has no active items in it. If the compartment still contains items, you need to either:

  • Move the items to a different compartment, or
  • Archive the items first

This safeguard prevents accidentally losing track of items.

Tip: Before deleting a compartment, use the item filter to check if anything is still assigned to it.

Deleting a Freezer

Only the household owner can delete a freezer.

Warning: Deleting a freezer permanently removes the freezer, all of its compartments, and all items within them. This cannot be undone.
