Home Inventory 2.0.0 Preview - Home inventory management. (Shareware)
Home Inventory lets you have a virtually unlimited number of photos for each item (different angles, a closeup shot of a serial number, pictures showing an item's placement in the room, or anything else you want). You can import photos into Home Inventory from your hard drive, take a picture with your Mac's iSight camera, scan them in directly with a TWAIN compliant scanner, or drag and drop them from other applications (such as iPhoto).
It doesn't end there. Once you have your photos in Home Inventory, you can use Home Inventory's built-in image editor to rotate and crop your item photos without having to go through an external application.
Home Inventory's album view lets you manage all of the photos in your inventory database in one place. Using the album view you can import photos, associate and disassociate photos with items, and delete photos. The association feature even allows you to associate the same photo with multiple items (such as a photo of the components in your audio/video setup can be associated with your DVD player, receiver, television, and gaming console).
The album view saves you a lot of time putting together an inventory by letting you import a bunch of photos all at once then quickly assign each of them to the correct items. You can even create new items on the fly from selected photos with a single click of the mouse button.
Home Inventory can create detailed reports. The extensive reporting options let you determine how item information is organized (by location, by category), what fields are presented, and much more.
Binary Formations recommends you keep a printed copy of your home's inventory in a safe deposit box or other secure location away from your home in case disaster strikes.
