Our Story

Sortly was born in 2012 as a passion project by our founder Dhanush, to empower people to live a more organized life. The first version of the app, originally named “My Things – Where Are They?”  became an instant hit on iOS — racking up 25,000 downloads in days.

Over the next few years, Dhanush led a number of Silicon Valley teams by day and grew the app by night, eventually relaunching it under the Sortly brand. Since then, it has helped hundreds of thousands of people worldwide organize more than 5 million items, and has been featured by ABC, FOX, NY Times and Forbes. Today, Sortly is the leading inventory app on iOS and Android.

We launched Sortly Pro in Feb 2018 to help businesses solve the unique challenges they face in managing their inventory. In only a short time, we are are now trusted by 1000’s of businesses, from small companies to large corporations.

So what’s next for Sortly? We aspire to add greater value to the lives of businesses and individuals by continuing to develop an easy-to-use “hub” to manage physical things. All while keeping our core brand values of simplicity, reliability and security at the forefront.
