Donate it. Log it. Done. You just dropped off a bag of clothes at Goodwill. You don't want to photograph every item, create an account, or pay $20–$30 a year just to keep track of what you gave. You want to log it and move on with your day. That's exactly what DonationValue does. SPEAK OR SEARCH — NO PHOTOS, NO AI Describe your donation out loud ("three pairs of jeans and two sweaters to Goodwill") or search from 500+ pre-valued items. Either way, DonationValue fills in the details automatically — no camera, no AI processing, no waiting. INSTANT, DEFENSIBLE VALUES Every item comes with a fair market value estimate based on its condition — Fair, Good, Very Good, or Excellent — following IRS guidance. No manual research, no guesswork, no undervaluing your generosity. ALWAYS ORGANIZED, NEVER A YEAR-END SCRAMBLE Your dashboard shows a running total all year: donations, items, and estimated value. When tax season arrives, you already have everything documented — no shoebox of receipts to sort through in April. TAX-READY REPORTS, WHEN YOU NEED THEM Generate a professional PDF report or a CSV for your accountant, complete with a pre-filled IRS Form 8283 for donations over $500. WHAT IT COSTS Unlimited donation tracking, item valuation, and charity management are completely free — no trial period, no feature limits. Generating a tax report is a one-time $4.99 purchase per tax year. Not a subscription. Not $20–$30 a year. Buy it once, use it forever for that year. BUILT DIFFERENTLY, ON PURPOSE DonationValue doesn't try to be an all-purpose finance app. It does one thing — tracking and valuing donated goods — quickly and well. No account required. No ads. No tracking. Your donation records stay on your device. KEY FEATURES • Voice donation entry — describe a donation naturally, hands-free • Smart search across 500+ pre-valued items in 9 categories • Condition-based fair market value (Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent) • Save charities with name, EIN, and address • Combine donations to the same charity on the same day into one record • Automatic organization by tax year • Professional PDF and CSV tax reports • Pre-filled IRS Form 8283 for donations over $500 • Zero tracking, zero ads, no account required • Works completely offline WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who donates clothing, household goods, furniture, or other items and wants an accurate tax deduction without spreadsheets, subscriptions, or a complicated app. Download DonationValue and log your next donation in under a minute.
