A home inventory app for insurance, built around photos

Why keep a home inventory

Insurance claims go faster when you can show what you had. Most people can't list everything in a room from memory, let alone remember model numbers or what they paid. A photo record made ahead of time is the simplest proof you can have.

Photo records in a few taps

• Snap a photo. Add up to six photos per item — front, back, sides, labels.
• Get an estimated value. TruValue's AI suggests a value from your photos. You can change it any time if you know better.
• Add the details. Purchase price, serial numbers and receipts live with the item.
• Sort it your way. Make folders by room, category or anything else — free for everyone.

Tip: don't photograph anything with personal information on it, like an address or card number on a receipt.

What to record for each belonging

A useful home inventory connects a recognizable photo with the details that distinguish your item from a similar one. Start with electronics, furniture, jewelry, tools and collections, then work through one room at a time.

• Identify the item. Include its name, brand and model in the item information, and photograph labels or identifying marks.
• Record ownership details. Save the purchase price, serial number and a receipt when you have them. Remove personal or payment information from a receipt before uploading it.
• Show its condition. Add clear views of wear, damage and distinctive features, rather than relying on a single distant room photo.
• Keep records organized. Use custom folders for rooms or groups such as electronics and watches, so you can find the relevant items later.

You can take a new photo or upload existing photos when adding an item. You don't need to finish your whole home in one sitting.

Estimated value is not the same as insured value

TruValue suggests an AI value estimate from your photos. Identification, condition and the available market information can affect the result; a photograph may not establish authenticity or reveal hidden damage. Review the estimate and change it when you have better information.

Your purchase price, an estimated resale value and the replacement cost used by an insurer can be different amounts. An AI estimate is not a professional appraisal, a coverage decision or a guaranteed sale price. Ask your insurer which records and valuation method your policy requires, particularly for high-value belongings.

An insurance-ready PDF

With TruValue Premium, export your whole inventory — or a single folder — as a PDF with photos, values and serial numbers, ready to send to your insurer or keep with your records. See a sample PDF.

The PDF brings your item records together; it does not certify the values or guarantee that your insurer will accept them. Review the sample before choosing Premium and confirm whether your insurer also needs receipts, a professional appraisal or other evidence.

What you can start with for free

Create your inventory, add photos and item information, and organize belongings into custom folders without Premium. PDF inventory export is a Premium feature. Compare Premium and storage plans before deciding what you need.

Private by default

Your inventory is yours alone. Values stay hidden on screen until you choose to show them, and you only share a collection when you make a link — with an optional password.

Choose whether to share the whole collection or one folder. Keep sensitive details out of photos and review the records you intend to share. Hiding a value on your screen is a display preference, not a replacement for controlling who receives a collection link.

Keep your home inventory current

Add new purchases while their receipts are easy to find. Update photos and item information after a change in condition, and review estimates rather than assuming an older value still applies. When preparing records for your insurer, check that the relevant folder includes the items and identifying details you want documented.

And when you're ready to sell

Anything in your inventory can be listed on the TruValue marketplace in a few taps. Your first listing is free. See how selling works.
