If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.

Anyone know a good to decent free (or open source) inventory software system?

The scale is mostly items going into bins going into storage and eventually, items pulled from bins and prepared for sale.
I'm currently jotting down everything that's checked into a bin, on a text file, but something more robust would be nice.

Things I don't want: Excel spreadsheets, Notion (FOSS clones may be okay), possibly other things (I'll add to this list here.)
Things I don't need: big business-ass Solutions™, CRM integration, SAP/HANA, Oracle or anything like that.
I also don't need parts fitment/dependency resolution, but if you know of something in that space, it's a bonus. Would be good to keep chargers with their devices, for instance, or floppy disks with things that use them.

Things I would like to have: an ID schema, rich metadata, label generation, barcode consume/lookup, robust API, EDA suite with handheld apps for Android and/or WinCE. Compatibility with a Toshiba BEX4 barcode printer is desirable.
Most of what I mentioned here I could probably handle myself, but if it's already in an app that saves me some time :)

Hardware I'd be interested in acquiring to go with this includes, but is not limited to, combination barcode scanner/mobile printer handhelds/"inventory gun" type devices.

yup! I thought about it but it seemed a lot more ERP-shaped and throughput-focused ("shopping list"), and has a lot of special buttons for meals and food that very don't apply here; although I did consider reworking it for this purpose
