I've been finding these around my house lately. Wondering what they are. I live in central New Jersey

Be careful. That spider has many characteristics of a Brown Recluse, though there are some Brown Recluse "look alikes".
I don’t think this is a brown recluse. The brown recluse has a larger, flat, brown-to-dark-grey front segment to its body, which typically has a very distinctive violin/fiddle marking.
Edit: just throwing out that I still appreciate the concern even though I’m disagreeing.
Seconding "not a recluse". I live with a bunch of them. Body shape and coloring is wrong.
Phew
Not even close, but thank you for your concern
