Most people own thousands of dollars of stuff and have no idea if their insurance covers it. When something gets stolen, lost in a move, or destroyed, the burden of proof falls on you — and "I had a TV in the living room" doesn't get you paid. Hometric fixes that. Walk through your house, snap photos, and AI does the rest. WHAT IT DOES • Photograph any room. AI identifies each item, estimates its replacement value, and builds an itemized inventory automatically. • Enter your coverage details. Type in your coverage amount, deductible, and the perils your policy includes — and learn what terms like ACV vs. RCV and common sub-limits mean, in plain language. • Check your coverage. Hometric compares your total inventory value against the coverage amount you enter, so you can spot where you may fall short. • Built for claims. Every item carries a photo, description, estimated value, and date. Export a report and submit it when you need to. FEATURES • Photo-to-inventory in seconds — AI recognizes furniture, electronics, clothing, art, appliances, and more • Per-room organization — group items by where they live • Coverage check — compare your inventory's total value against the coverage amount you enter • Plain-language coverage education — understand sub-limits, deductibles, and commonly excluded perils • Estimated replacement values with a low/high range (estimates, not appraisals) • High-value flagging for items you may want to schedule separately • Sign in with Apple — private, secure, no password to remember • Your data is private to your account, secured in transit, and deletable at any time WHO IT'S FOR • Homeowners who've never documented their stuff • Renters whose landlord's policy doesn't cover their belongings • Anyone who just moved, just renovated, or just inherited • People who suspect they're under-insured but don't know by how much PRIVACY We don't sell your data. We don't show ads. Your photos and inventory live in your account and exist to help you — that's it. Delete your account from inside the app and everything goes with it. Know what you own. Understand your coverage. Download Hometric and find out where you actually stand.
