Everything you own, catalogued in seconds — and ready the moment you need it.
Photograph any cable or charger and name it once — it's yours to browse forever.
Swap the tangled pile for a clean grid of cards you can scan at a glance.
Pick a device and CrossWire shows the exact cable from your own gear that powers it.
Know instantly which bag, drawer, or pouch holds the spare you're hunting for.
Log who borrowed what, and get a gentle nudge before it disappears for good.
See what you already own before buying a third charger you didn't need.
This is the question CrossWire answers every day: will this actually power what I need? Pick a device, then tap the cable you think matches.
We're a small crew of serial cable-hoarders who got tired of untangling the same drawer every single week. CrossWire started as a weekend fix for our own charger chaos and grew into a tool we now can't imagine living without.
Our mission is simple: trade the guesswork of "does this even work?" for the quiet confidence of knowing exactly what's sitting in your gear box. Organization shouldn't feel like a chore — it should feel like flipping through a shelf of cards you actually enjoy browsing.
CrossWire gives every cord, charger, and adapter you own a photo, a name, and a home. Ask what powers your phone and get the right pairing from your own gear instantly. Track which bag or drawer holds the spares, and get a gentle nudge when a borrowed cable has wandered off too long.
Know what you have. Know where it lives. Know it'll work when you reach for it.
CrossWire was built around one simple rule: your cable photos and inventory stay on your device, full stop. This policy explains exactly what that means, section by section, with no legal fog.
We collect nothing. CrossWire does not ask for your name, email, location, or any account details, and it never requests access to contacts, camera roll metadata, or any personal identifier beyond what's needed to snap a photo of a cable you choose to catalogue.
Because nothing leaves your device, there is nothing for us to use, analyze, profile, or sell. There are no usage dashboards, no behavioral tracking, and no advertising engine sitting behind the scenes of your shelf.
Every photo, label, location note, and lending reminder you create is stored locally in the app's private storage on your phone. Nothing is synced to a server, mirrored to a cloud account, or backed up to any CrossWire-operated infrastructure — because we don't operate any.
CrossWire contains no third-party analytics kits, no ad networks, and no external trackers of any kind. The app does not phone home, and no data about your cable collection is ever shared with, or visible to, outside companies.
Since your inventory never travels off-device, it inherits the security of your phone itself — the same protection covering your photos and messages. There's no CrossWire server to breach and no account credentials that could ever be exposed, because none exist.
CrossWire does not knowingly or unknowingly collect information from anyone, regardless of age. Because the app gathers zero personal data from any user, it does not collect information from children either, in keeping with COPPA's intent.
There are no accounts to manage and nothing stored remotely to request the deletion of. You are always in full control: clearing an entry inside the app removes it instantly, and uninstalling CrossWire removes every photo and note it ever held, permanently and completely.
If our approach to privacy ever changes, we'll update this page with a new effective date and describe the change in plain language. Our starting principle won't move: local-first, always.
