Ware/Wares for a domestic warehouse app

Forgive me but I'm Italian and I have difficulty in perceiving the function of the word "ware" in everyday life. My goal is to create a smartphone app where you can enter an inventory of objects of our daily uses. Through a functional search engine will then can look up the stuff that's been posted. The name of the app: "WareApp" The first thing that came to my mind was 'domestic warehouse', hence the word Ware. I hope the two photos can give a good idea.

I'm not so far to publish the App but I'm in time to change name and graphics and now my mind has brought forth these questions: is it the right name? will be misinterpreted? Is there something better like Stuff, Article, Record, Object?

Please help, this is not spamming the App is not in the store and also it will be free for anyone. Thanks a lot.

On another website, I was determined not to use the word ware as this isn't appropriate even though it may still be used ironically. Among the different alternatives offered there is GEAR, I would also like to know something about the latter. Thank you very much

  • Are you aware of "warez"?
    Warez - Wikipedia
    Warez is a common computing and broader cultural term referring to pirated software (i.e. illegally copied, often after deactivation of anti-piracy measures) that is distributed via the Internet. Warez is used most commonly as a noun, a plural form of ware (short for computer software), and is intended to be pronounced like the word wares, /ˈwɛərz/.
     
    The word "gear" is used in BE as a slang synonym for personal possessions, but it's mainly associated with clothes, so it may not be the word you want here.

    As an alternative, "stuff" has a similar usage, but isn't restricted to clothes, and "my stuff" in BE could refer to just about anything you own. :)

    Oh, and welcome to the forum, by the way. :)

    Many thanks for the Welcome I'm happy to be here! Thanks also for the answer, I'm definitely addressing Stuff for my app name. One last question, please, on a scale of one to ten how "StuffApp" it is considered a catchy pronunciation in English? Many thanks again! :thumbsup:
