Keep your household inventory in one searchable place
A digital home inventory helps you record what you own, where it is stored, and important details you may need later. TapNota connects that information directly to the physical item with a QR label.
Track locations
Record the room, shelf, closet, garage zone, storage bin, or other location where an item is kept.
Document belongings
Add photos of valuables, electronics, equipment, collections, storage-bin contents, and household supplies.
Keep item history
Save notes, updates, ownership information, maintenance details, and other history on the same digital record.

Apply a QR label

Add the information
Name the item, add notes and photos, record the location, and place it in the correct portal folder.
Search or scan later
Search your portal when you need something or scan the physical label to open the connected record instantly.
Useful information for a digital household inventory
Your inventory should contain enough information to identify, locate, understand, and update each item record.
Item name and description
Use a clear name, category, quantity, model, identifying details, and other information that makes the item easy to recognize.
Current location
Record where the item is stored, including the room, cabinet, shelf, storage bin, closet, or garage zone.
Photos and condition
Add photos of the item, identifying marks, condition, accessories, or the contents of the connected container.
Purchase and ownership notes
Store purchase details, ownership records, warranty notes, serial numbers, or other useful information.
Maintenance history
Record service dates, repairs, replacement parts, care instructions, and future maintenance reminders.
Privacy and sharing
Keep records private, share selected item pages, or make information public when appropriate.
Use a digital home inventory for more than valuables
TapNota can organize everyday belongings, storage areas, tools, supplies, collections, and equipment throughout the home.

Digital home inventory vs. spreadsheets and paper lists
A spreadsheet records information in one file. TapNota keeps the information connected to the physical item using a scannable QR label.

|---|---|---|
| Identify the item | Search for a separate list entry | Scan the label to open the record |
| Add detailed notes | Possible, but separate from the item | Notes stay connected to the physical item |
| Add photos | Stored separately or embedded manually | Upload photos directly to the item page |
| Track location | Update the file manually | Update the digital record anytime |
| Find stored belongings | Search a file, then locate the item | Search the portal and scan the label |
| Share selected records | Share the full file or make a copy | Share individual item pages |
| Replace a damaged label | Create a new label manually | Reprint the existing QR code |
