Home Inventory App

Looking for an easy to use app to do my home’s inventory I found one that seems to do the job pretty well. This app is What You Own Home Inventory 4.13 for Mac. Also available for the pc, this app offers a nice interface to quickly add items on your inventory, and attached to them detailed information (such as the purchase price, replacement cost, make, model, brand, etc.) but also images, and receipts and other docs. Pretty slick!

I’m really liking it. On one had is a great tool to keep track of the stuff you own. The fact that you can attach receipts and such is really handy. I usually keep receipts on file for 2 years, but after that I get rid of them. So this kind of solves having to keep up with those.

On the other hand it can help you establish how much you should pay in home/renters insurance. It can also be very handy if you would ever need to file for a claim in the event of losing any of your belongings.

Now I just want this to be integrated with my mint account, that would just make it even better!
