You know what you own right up until the day you have to prove it. Inventa is a home inventory you can actually finish. Photograph a room, let the camera read the labels, and end up with the list an insurer asks for — before anything happens, not after. RECORDING THAT DOESN'T TAKE AN EVENING Quick Capture keeps the camera open between shots, so you walk a room photographing everything and name it all afterwards, sitting down. Smart Scan reads what you point it at. Hold it over a nameplate and it fills in the brand, model and serial number. Over a receipt and it fills in the price and the purchase date. Over a barcode and it records the product code. All of it happens on your device. No photograph of a thing yet? Pick one from the built-in library of chairs, tables, appliances and more, and swap it for the real one later. WHAT IT KEEPS FOR EACH ITEM Photographs, receipt, brand, model, serial number, barcode, room, category, purchase date, warranty expiry, price and notes — the identification an insurer wants to see to establish which unit you actually owned. THE PART THAT BRINGS YOU BACK Things you own need doing. Inventa tracks what each item needs and how often — a boiler service, a filter, a cambelt — and tells you what is overdue. Every repair you log builds a service history, which is the part nobody can reconstruct from memory later, and the part that holds a resale price. Warranty expiry dates turn into reminders, so a free repair doesn't quietly become a paid one. VALUE, AND WHETHER YOU'RE COVERED Inventa estimates what everything is worth today rather than what you paid, depreciating by category on a straight line. Enter your contents cover limit and it will tell you when what you have recorded has quietly grown past it. PRIVACY Your inventory lives in a database on your device. There is no account, no sign-up, no cloud sync, and no analytics or advertising SDK. Nothing about what you own is sent anywhere. Backups are files you make and put where you choose. FREE, AND WHAT PRO ADDS The free version holds 40 items, with every part of recording, care, reminders, value and the summary report included. It isn't a trial and it doesn't expire. Pro is one purchase, once. Not a subscription. • Unlimited items • The full insurance report — a PDF page for every item with its photographs, serial number, receipt, service history and estimated value today, grouped by room and signed • Backup and restore — every item, photo and year of service history in one file you keep • Face ID / Touch ID lock Available in English, German and French, with the currency you actually use.
