Tiddlywiki. Simple in theory one you get your head around it. I live on a boat, and use it for inventory. Every item is entered, along with quantity and location so I can search and find where things are. Depending on the thing, additional information is stored as well. For food stuffs, nutrition info, brand, place I bought it, and price (useful going between countries). Recipes link to ingredients, so I can filter on what I have or what I need. For tech items, serial number, manuals, warranty information, and the like. And for certain items, checklists, or maintenance tasks, I link to the inventory item of my tools, so I know what I need and where to get it before starting a job.

For example, I have an entry for the outboard motor. I know that if I’m filling it with fuel, I need 2 stroke oil, gasoline, fuel filter. If I have to adjust the turning resistance, I know I’ll need a 10mm wrench. If I have to change the lower unit oil, I need a pump for oil, container for old oil, flathead screw driver for the plug, etc.
