A Complete Digital Record of Everything You Own
StorageBuddy is a home inventory app that helps you catalogue, photograph, and locate every item in your home — whether you're moving, storing, or simply organising.
StorageBuddy is a home inventory app that combines photo cataloguing, QR-based storage tracking, and a searchable digital record — in one system. It's an alternative to spreadsheets, manual lists, and Notion — designed for tracking real physical possessions across rooms, boxes, and locations.
Why most people don't know what they own
Over the years, belongings accumulate across rooms, attics, garages, and storage units. Without a system, it becomes impossible to know what you have, where it is, or whether you still need it.
30% of storage items are forgotten
Studies show most people forget about items in storage within a year of putting them there.
Insurance claims fail without records
Without documented proof of ownership, claims for lost or stolen items are often denied or underpaid.
Moves take twice as long
Without an inventory, unpacking is guesswork — and re-purchasing happens more often than it should.
When a home inventory app makes sense
Before a house move
Build a complete inventory of everything you own before packing starts. Connect each item to its box and track it through the move.
For insurance documentation
A photo-backed digital inventory of your home contents is invaluable for insurance claims — especially after theft, fire, or flood.
For ongoing home organisation
Track what's in every room, storage unit, and container. Search for any item without having to physically look.
For storage unit management
Log everything that goes into long-term storage. Never forget what's in there — or where it is within the unit.
For household handovers
Share your home inventory with a partner, housemate, or property manager. Everyone sees the same real-time record.
For seasonal storage rotation
Tag seasonal items (winter clothing, Christmas decorations, camping gear) so you can find them months later without digging.

Common questions about home inventory apps
What is a home inventory app?
A home inventory app is a digital tool for cataloguing everything you own — furniture, appliances, electronics, clothing, storage boxes, and more. It stores item descriptions, photos, values, and locations so you can find, manage, and document your belongings.
Why do I need a home inventory?
A home inventory is useful for insurance claims, moving house, estate planning, and daily organisation. It means you always know what you own, where it is, and what it's worth — without relying on memory.
How is StorageBuddy different from a home inventory spreadsheet?
StorageBuddy supports photos, QR code scanning, multi-location tracking, and real-time search — none of which a spreadsheet handles well. It's also mobile-first, so you can update it while you're standing in the garage.
Can I use it just for home storage, not for moving?
Absolutely. Many users use StorageBuddy solely for ongoing home organisation — tracking what's in the garage, loft, shed, or storage unit — without any move involved.
Is a home inventory app useful for insurance?
Yes. Having a photo-backed, timestamped digital record of your possessions is extremely valuable for insurance claims. It proves ownership and condition of items at a specific point in time.
Can I share my home inventory with family members?
Yes. StorageBuddy supports shared access so multiple people in a household can view and update the same inventory.
