List what is in each room without calling it a valuation
A move, a shared house, or a simple “what is in the cupboard” question needs a list, not a claims adjuster. Insurance sites ask for serial numbers and replacement cost. You may only want “Kitchen / kettle / 1 / drawer.” Photos help you remember which lamp, but they should not go into LocalStorage where some browsers evict them, and they should not go to a server. A local list with optional estimates you typed yourself is enough, if the page refuses to call those estimates a valuation.
Why this is worth doing in the browser
DevNestro’s Home Inventory keeps rooms and items in the page, and in IndexedDB if you save. Photos, when you add them, are stored in a separate IndexedDB store on this device, not in LocalStorage. Export CSV uses the shared formula guard. XLSX lazy-loads the same SheetJS build as the Data Cleaner. JSON is a backup without photos. PDF is a readable list that repeats: this is not an insurance valuation. Totals count items and sum the numbers you entered. They are not replacement cost, market value, or a figure to send to an insurer. Clearing site data deletes the list and photos. Nothing is uploaded.
How to use the tool
Add rooms, add items, optionally attach a photo, save in this browser, then export. Import JSON to restore names and numbers. Related Document Expiry Tracker is for dates, not furniture. Related Expense Splitter is for a bill, not a house.
- Use room names you will recognize.
- Leave estimate blank if you do not want a number.
- Export JSON before you clear the browser.
- Do not send the PDF to an insurer as an official appraisal.
Privacy
The list stays on this device. Photos use IndexedDB, not LocalStorage. Nothing is uploaded to DevNestro or sent to analytics as content.
