Hoardware
Hoardware is a collection manager for cataloging Apple devices, tracking model details, and recording firmware history across Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
What is Hoardware?
Hoardware is a utilities app for people who collect and organize Apple hardware. It helps users catalog devices such as iPhone, iPad, Mac, iPod, Apple Watch, Apple TV, HomePod, AirPods, AirTag, and Beats in one searchable library. The app lets you record model information, installed firmware versions and builds, notes, colors, serial numbers, and other custom details that matter to collectors. It also shows release information and available stable or beta software updates, which makes it useful for tracking both hardware ownership and software history. Hoardware syncs libraries across Mac, iPhone, and iPad with iCloud, and it supports exporting or backing up collection data for later reference. Published by Aaron Perris, it is designed for Apple enthusiasts who want a dedicated place to manage collections, wishlists, and device details.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Hoardware is a legitimate collection-management app for Apple devices. Access to iCloud is normal for its sync and backup features, and any device details, notes, or serial numbers you enter may be stored with your Apple account for syncing across your devices. If you use the app, avoid saving more sensitive information than you need and use the optional sharing features carefully so you do not expose collection details unintentionally.
Recommendation: Keep Hoardware if you actively track an Apple device collection or want a dedicated place to store firmware history and collection notes. If you do not use it, removing it is usually low risk, though you may want to export or back up your library first if it contains records you want to keep.
