Create a home inventory
Keep track of all your worldly goods — with a little help from your Mac
REQUIRES macOS 11 or later, Blue Plum Home Inventory 4 ($24.99)
YOU WILL LEARN How to create an inventory of your most important possessions
IT WILL TAKE 30 minutes
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, when moving home, when writing a will, or for those increasingly frequent occasions when Next Door Norman pops round to borrow the lawn mower. Again.
The solution is to create a home inventory: a detailed catalog 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 (https://theblueplum.com). It costs $24.99 and there’s a 14–day trial if you download the app from their website, so you can check it out before you pay up.
