How to create an inventory of your most important possessions
YOU’LL NEED
macOS 11 or later, Blue Plum Home Inventory 4 (£20.40)
While it’s easy to try to imagine you have no possessions, in reality most of us have far too many.
And that can make it tricky to keep track of them all – especially when you need a list of them for insurance purposes, a packing list when moving home, when writing a will, or for those increasingly frequent occasions when Next Door Norman pops around to borrow the lawnmower. Again.
The solution is to create a home inventory: a detailed catalogue of all the things you own.
While you could use a spreadsheet to do that it’s a bit unwieldy, so here we’re going to show you how to use Home Inventory 4 from Blue Plum Software (theblueplum.com). It’s a snip at £20.40 and there’s a 14-day trial so you can check it out before you pay up.
The app will work on any Mac running macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later and can even be used in conjunction with its free partner app for iPhone and iPad: Home Inventory Easy Entry. Best of all, the whole thing can be synced with iCloud too. Rob Mead-Green
