Eventually the growing number of Mouser boxes with crudely written labels just won’t cut it. Also, you’re tired of re-ordering parts you had but forgot about. Here’s a couple of ways to keep track of your parts like a pro. Text File (aka Evernote) The most basic option is a text list stored as a text file or in your favorite note taking app. Eventually I moved my text file over to Evernote. It had the benefit of being mobile so I could update it as I found those parts hiding in plain site. The limitation though is that it’s just a flat text file. No sorting, limited searching, and nothing to prevent duplicate entries.
