Free Home Inventory App - Exactly What You Need to Document Your Items In Case of Disaster

I’ve recommended a variety of products on this site in the past. This is the first time I am going to recommend an App. After a disaster or any event where you incur a loss it is often hard to remember every item that you no longer have.

Trust me, even if you have a good memory like I do, it is hard to remember everything. Recently I came across a free app from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) that helps you create a scrap book of the items in your home. The App is called myHome Scr.APP.book.

I have been preaching that people list items in their homes for a long time. Let’s be honest though, it is difficult to list and catalog everything. Having this app makes it easy and convenient to photograph, list and make notes on your most important items, if not everything.

Since installing the myHome Scr.APP.book I have documentied everything in my master bedroom and office. Next is the garage and that will be a big task, believe me.

While the App does not have every feature one would want, it does make the cataloging easy and convenient. Considering most Americans do not have a home inventory list this is one of the easiest ways I have seen to create one. Plus it is free, so there is no reason not to give it a try.
