HomeInventory — Support

What is the insurance report?

One tap turns your whole inventory into a PDF an insurance adjuster can actually use: every item with its photo, brand, model, serial number, and replacement value, grouped by room, with per-room subtotals and a grand total. Generate it from the total-value card on the main screen, then share it anywhere — email, Files, AirDrop.

How do I import from another app or a spreadsheet?

Settings → Import CSV. HomeInventory recognizes the column names most inventory apps and spreadsheets use — Description, Room, Location, Replacement Value, Make, Model, Serial No, Notes, and dozens more. Values like $2,400 or €129 are understood. Rows with problems are skipped individually and reported; one bad row never ruins the file.

Why doesn't the app ask for photo permission?

Because it doesn't need any. Photos are added through Apple's system picker, which hands the app only the photos you choose. Your library stays private.

Where is my data stored?

On your device, period. See the privacy policy — there is no server, no account, no cloud.

How do I move my data to a new phone?

Export a CSV on the old phone (Settings → Export CSV), send it to the new phone (AirDrop works great), then Settings → Import CSV. Your device's own iCloud backup also restores the app's data — photos included — automatically.
