Why HiBooWoo exists

HiBooWoo exists to give people a clear overview of what they own, where it is, and who it is shared with — without adding noise or complexity.

The moment people recognise the problem

It usually starts with a simple question.

Someone asks: “Do we already have this?”

The answer is often unclear. Items are spread across rooms, shelves, storage boxes, and digital accounts. Some belong to everyone, some to individuals, and some are currently lent out.

This uncertainty leads to duplicate purchases, wasted time, and small but repeated friction in everyday life.

Why existing tools fall short

Most systems are not designed for shared ownership.

  • Spreadsheets require constant manual updates
  • Note apps depend on personal systems that others cannot follow
  • Media platforms focus on discovery, not on what you actually own

What is missing is a calm, shared overview with clear visibility and privacy boundaries.

How HiBooWoo approaches the problem

Designed for clarity, not activity.

One shared overview

Books, movies, and games live in a single library, regardless of where they are stored.

Explicit visibility

Each item is clearly marked as personal, shared with a group or household, or hidden.

No noise

No feeds, no ratings, no social pressure — the system stays quiet until you need it.
