I Built a Free Home Inventory Generator (Because iHomeinventory Wants $15/month)

Homeowners and renters need to document their belongings for insurance claims and IRS purposes. Yet apps like iHomeinventory and Sortly charge $15/month (or limit you to just 100 items on their free tier), require account creation, and store your photos on their servers.

For a simple inventory list with photos and values, that's absurd.

So I built a free alternative.

Home Inventory Generator runs 100% in your browser. Add items with descriptions, values, room categories, and photos. Preview your inventory in real time. Export to a professional IRS-style PDF — all from a single page. No account, no uploads, no subscriptions.

What you get:

  • Unlimited items — no 100-item cap like Sortly's free tier
  • Photo uploads: multiple photos per item, stored only on your device
  • Room/category organization (Living Room, Bedroom, Kitchen, Garage, etc.)
  • Value tracking with running total
  • Serial numbers and purchase dates
  • Drag-to-reorder items
  • One-click PDF export — IRS-style inventory report with photos
  • Live preview as you build
  • Works offline after first load
  • Your data never leaves your browser
  • No signup, no email, no waiting
  • Free forever — no paywalls, no watermarks unless you want one

The tool covers everything you need: item details (description, value, room), photo attachments, totals by room, and a clean formatted PDF suitable for insurance or tax documentation.

vs iHomeinventory: $15/month = $180/year. vs Sortly: 100-item limit on free plan. This is free with no limits.

Try the free tool

Built for homeowners and renters who need a professional home inventory — not a $15/month subscription.
