Create different inventories, add your items with photos and important information, and quickly find what you're looking for later. YOUR THINGS. YOUR STRUCTURE. YOUR INVENTORY. Not every inventory is the same. That's why you decide which information matters for your things.

ORGANIZE & FIND Create separate inventories for different areas and stay organized, even as your collection of items grows. With search and flexible filters, you can quickly find exactly what you need. PHOTOS, VALUES & DOCUMENTS Document your items with photos, descriptions, quantities, purchase prices and year of purchase. Add more information using your own custom fields and keep related PDF documents directly with each item. Important information, photos and documents all stay together. KEEP TRACK OF VALUES Add purchase prices and keep an eye not only on individual items, but also on the total value of your inventories. BACK UP & EXPORT Stay in control of your data. Create backups of your inventories and restore them whenever needed. Export your inventories as PDF or CSV files – for archiving, sharing or your own documentation. AT HOME ON YOUR APPLE DEVICES Use Inventar Manager on iPhone, iPad and Mac. With optional iCloud sync, your inventories stay up to date across your devices. Add an item on the go with your iPhone, update information comfortably on your iPad, or manage your inventories on your Mac. One inventory – across your devices. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS.

Your personal information about your possessions, collections, photos and documents should stay exactly where it belongs: with you. Whether you want to document your home inventory, keep track of your valuables, organize your tools or manage a personal collection: Inventar Manager gives everything you own its place. --------- PRIVACY Your data remains stored on your device unless you enable synchronization.
