Is there a FOSS program where I can inventory my high value items in case there is an insurance claim?

I was thinking of the item, the picture of the item and serial number, maybe the UPC, and then an attachment of the receipt.

I’m guessing some kind of database that integrates file attachments per item.

    To be honest, would a spreadsheet not be a good use for this? There are FOSS asset trackers, but a simple .ods with a pictures column might serve you well. Are there additional features/conveniences you are looking for?

      Yeah, I just have an Excel spreadsheet. Item, model, serial, purchase date, purchase value, order number so I can find it in my email if applicable. The only thing I’ve filled a claim for was when my bike got stolen (purchased $500, reimbursed $2400 because apparently they changed to high end bikes) and they didn’t ask for any records.

      I’d also recommend a video walkaround of your house at least once a year.

      I wonder if something like a picture or video is sufficient to inventory quantities and general cost, such as clothes. The number of t-shirts I have changed over time, but a week worth of Carhartt adds up

    I tend to keep things simple. I’ll keep a folder with high value items listed in their own sub folder.

    I’ll keep a copy of the receipt; photos of the serial number and UPC; depending on the item, I’ll have photos of it; and a text document with the warranty period listed.

    It’s easy enough to find the right folder when I need it. And since it’s rare that I’ll need to retrieve this information, I don’t put any more effort into it than that.
