Items and Belongings
Your Family's Home Inventory
Register it once. Find it forever.
Items are the things your family owns — from the TV and the power tools to grandma's china. Each item lives in a home, in a room, together with its photos, receipts, values and maintenance. And when you need to find something, one search covers every home you have.
Adding Items
- Open a property in More → Holdings and go to the Items tab
- Tap Add item
- Give it a name, choose a type — Inventory for everyday things, Valuable for the things that matter for insurance — and place it in a room
That's all that's required. Behind More details you can add as much as you like:
- Brand, model and serial number — the details insurance companies and repair shops always ask for
- Purchase — price, date and retailer
- Insured value — what you would claim today. Kept separate from the purchase price, which does not change
- Warranty — when it expires, plus notes
- Condition, category, quantity and tags
Adding a whole room at once
Registering everything one by one gets old fast. Use Add several:
- In the Items tab, tap Add several
- Type a name and press enter — the field stays ready for the next one
- The room and type stay selected between items, and each added item gets a quick Photograph button
Great for an evening on the sofa: walk through one room, type what you see, snap photos as you go.
Photos, Receipts and Documentation
Every item can hold photos and receipts — pictures, purchase receipts, manuals. They're attached to the item itself, so they follow it wherever it's moved.
Famn quietly shows you what's missing: small chips like No photo, No receipt, No serial number or No value on each item, and a Documentation summary for the whole home — "12 of 40 fully documented". No nagging, just an honest picture of how prepared you are.
Tip: For valuables, aim for photo + receipt + serial number. That combination is exactly what an insurance claim needs — and it's what the documentation snapshot freezes for you.
Finding Things Again
- Within a home: the Items tab groups everything by room, with search and quick filters. The Unplaced chip shows items that haven't been assigned a room yet.
- Across all homes: the Items entry on the Holdings overview searches everything you own, in every home. Filter by home, room, category, value range, missing documentation, or what needs looking after.
- Moved something? Use Move item to put it in another room — or take it out of rooms entirely.
Maintenance: "Needs looking after"
Some things need regular care — descaling the coffee machine, sharpening the mower blades, servicing the bike.
- Open an item and tap Add maintenance
- Describe what needs doing, pick which chore list it belongs to, and how often — from every month to every 2 years
- Set when it's first due
The task lives in your chores, related to this item. Ticking it off anywhere updates it here — and earns XP, like any chore. Items that are overdue or due soon appear at the top of your Items list under Needs looking after, so nothing slips.
Perfect for:
- A real home inventory that's actually kept up to date — because the whole family can add to it
- Never losing a receipt, manual or serial number again
- Knowing which of your valuables still lack documentation
- Recurring care for the things that quietly demand it
