Matryoshka uses the Apple Account signed in on your iPhone. There's nothing to sign up for. Make sure iCloud is on for Matryoshka in Settings, under your name, then iCloud. Changes reach your other devices on the same Apple Account when they're online, usually within a minute or two.

If iCloud is off, your things stay on this iPhone only. Turn it on later and they'll sync from then on.

Check that both devices are signed in to the same Apple Account, have iCloud on for Matryoshka, and are online. Opening the app on each one helps it catch up. If it's still missing after a few minutes, write to us.

When you add something from a photo, Matryoshka suggests a name and a few labels from what it sees and the words printed on it. Tap a label to keep it; the ones you don't tap are dropped. Kept labels help search find the item later, even if you search for "video cable" instead of "HDMI".

Suggestions are made on your iPhone. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence they're smarter, because Apple's on-device model helps write them.

Tap Add from photo on Home or inside any place, then take or choose a photo of a shelf, a drawer or things laid out on a table. Your iPhone finds each thing and outlines it.

Tap a thing to leave it out. If an outline is wrong, or a thing was missed, draw around it with your finger. Then put the things away one at a time, checking each name and keeping the labels you want.

Yes. Each home, office or storage unit is its own location, and inside each one you can nest rooms, shelves and boxes as deep as you need. Search looks across all of them.

The privacy page explains how to delete things in the app, on your iPhone and in iCloud.
