The umbrella you packed in September. The spare cable you put somewhere sensible. Save where your things go as you settle in, then ask when you finally need them.
Unpacking? Say where the umbrella, pencil case, spare cable and bedsheets go. One message can cover several drawers and shelves.
2
Ask when you need it.
Next semester, describe what you need—even if you cannot remember the name on the box.
3
Keep it up to date.
If the spare cable ends up in your bedside drawer, tell Wheredai. Your saved location changes with it.
A small room.
Plenty of places to forget.
For the everyday belongings you bring to college or university, from move-in day to the first rainy walk to class.
Unpack once. Keep the details.
The pencil case and calculator go on the left of the desk’s top drawer. The spare USB-C cable goes on the right. Say it while you put things away, before everything has found a permanent home.
“Where’s the spare cable for charging my phone?”
Find the thing you have not used yet.
Your umbrella and raincoat have been in the blue box on the closet’s bottom shelf since move-in. When next semester brings a downpour, ask for what you brought for the rain.
“Didn’t I pack something for rainy days?”
Keep track through room changes.
A better spot for the cable, a new drawer for stationery, or a box going home for the break: update the saved place when you move it.
“The spare charging cable is now in my bedside drawer.”
Your own things.
The things you share.
Start on your own. If you share a flat, choose which records your housemates can find.
Only me
Set your personal belongings to Only me. Their locations stay private, even if you share the workspace with housemates.
Share with your people.
Let housemates find the kitchen things you share, while keeping your own drawers to yourself. Named groups come with Premium, its trial, and Team; everyone in the group also belongs to your workspace.

Your records, coming and going.
Bring in a packing list you already keep and review it before adding anything. Export your saved records when you want a list for the next move.
Import & export
A few things before you unpack.
Do I need to share a workspace?
No. Start on your own with your room and the things you want to remember. Add them directly or save their locations by voice or text.
Do I need to know the exact item name?
You can ask in your own words. Saving what something is for—like a cable for charging your phone—gives Wheredai useful details to search later.
Can it find something I never saved?
It searches your saved records. Start with a few things as you unpack, or save a location when you find something you were looking for.
What if I move rooms?
Update where things go as you unpack again. Wheredai uses the locations you record; it does not automatically track a physical move.
Can my housemate look up shared things?
Yes, with their own account and an accepted workspace invitation. Workspace sharing and Only me are on every plan. Named groups come with Premium, its trial, and Team, and each housemate counts toward your plan’s people limit.
Do I need campus Wi-Fi?
You need an internet connection, which can be Wi-Fi or mobile data, and a signed-in account. Offline sync is planned for later.
Save it while you unpack.
Ask when you need it.
Start with one drawer and the things you brought just in case.
