Roomkeep builds the record of your home that an insurance claim actually needs: what you own, what it's worth, and the photos, receipts and serial numbers that back it up. Documented in an evening, kept on your own devices. PHOTOGRAPH WHAT MATTERS The thirty things a claim really turns on — electronics, jewelry, tools — each get their own photo, price and room. The camera stays open between shots, so a shelf or a whole wall goes in without reopening it for every object. RECEIPTS AND SERIAL NUMBERS Photograph a receipt and it stays with the items it proves — Roomkeep suggests the store, date and total off the paper, and you confirm each field with a tap. The photograph is kept whatever the suggestion was: a receipt is evidence in itself. Serial numbers come off the nameplate with a live scanner. KNOW WHAT'S MISSING The readiness dashboard shows how much of your catalog has photos, prices and receipts, puts your catalog total next to your policy's contents coverage, and keeps a shortlist of what to photograph next — sorted so the expensive things come first. Fifteen minutes with that list beats an afternoon of guessing. THE REPORT YOUR ADJUSTER ACTUALLY WANTS One tap produces a clean, printable PDF: totals by room and category, item tables with photos, receipts attached at the back. A short summary for your agent, or the full document for a claim. A4 and US Letter. Readable in black and white, because that is how it will be printed. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Everything runs on your device. Photos never leave it unless you turn on iCloud sync — and then they go to your private iCloud, not to us. Export everything, any time, in one tap: the PDF, a spreadsheet, or a complete archive with every photo, readable without Roomkeep. FREE INCLUDES One property, one room, thirty items — with photos, receipt scanning and the readiness dashboard fully working, and a preview of the report. PRO (one payment) Unlimited properties, rooms and items, both report formats, spreadsheet and archive export, and iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac. No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. Data Not Collected.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Synology MailPlus at none against Home Inventory's 1. Synology MailPlus also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Home Inventory's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
