Home inventory for insurance claims, on iPhone and iPad. Photograph a barcode or a serial label and the item fills itself in, then the app produces the proof-of-ownership document an adjuster actually asks for.
Most home inventories are never finished. Nobody objects to the idea; typing three hundred items into a form just takes about seven hours, so the list stops somewhere around the living room and the rest of the house stays undocumented until the day it matters.
Asset Logging takes the typing out. The app reads a barcode or a serial label and fills the item in, so the same job takes an evening. What comes out the other end is a document an insurance adjuster can work from, rather than a list of names.
The capabilities that carry the most weight day to day.
Barcodes, QR codes and serial-number nameplates are read on the device itself - offline, at no cost, and in a basement with no signal.
Etched metal, curved surfaces and tiny type are read properly, and the characters it was unsure about are flagged, so a 0 never becomes an O on a claim form.
One PDF with the photographs, the serial number set large enough to transcribe, the purchase date and price, and the service history - built to be printed and handed over.
What it costs to buy the item again today, side by side with what a cash-value policy would actually pay after depreciation.
A PDF grouped by room with subtotals, or a spreadsheet that sorts and totals properly, plus the short list of what matters most on one screen that works with no signal.
Warranty reminders a month before they lapse, service intervals you would otherwise forget, and versioned backups encrypted before they leave the device.
The starting point was what an insurance claim actually asks for. A list of item names is not evidence. The adjuster wants proof you owned it, proof of what you paid, proof of its condition, and serial numbers for the police report.
The other half of the problem is that the inventory never gets finished, so capture had to be fast enough to do a whole house in an evening. That is why the camera does the typing.
We also decided early that we should not be able to read anyone's inventory. It lives in an encrypted database on the device, backups are encrypted before they are uploaded, and the key never reaches us. That is a design decision rather than a policy promise.
Full details, screenshots and pricing live on its own site, and the app itself is on the App Store with a free trial, no card required.
