HomeManage

If you ever wanted to create a list with each and every item in your household, you probably know how tedious this activity can become. Using the old-fashioned pen and paper is time-consuming, especially if there is nobody else there to assist you.

Instead of spending large amounts of time trying to include everything that you own on multiple pieces of paper, you can rely on HomeManage, a useful application that can help you create inventories in a fast, convenient way.

This program comes with a simple, unattractive design. On the other hand, it packs a handful of reliable functions that allow even novices to use them without great difficulty nor help from the integrated guide.

You can access many of its features via the buttons HomeManage integrates in its layout or you can browse the dedicated menus for more advanced options.

It is possible to create lists that include every item that you own, by specifying details, such as name, brand, quantity or price, and adding a photo, if you want. Since the application provides you with webcam support, you can use it to customize your entries with personal image content.

HomeManage also comes with barcode reading functions, so, if you own supported hardware, you can scan the code and the program automatically handles the details. You can adjust certain parameters in this section, such as displaying matching records or creating new items in case they do not exist in the database.

In addition to the aforementioned functions, this application allows you to export your data to various formats, including MDB, XLS and HTML. You can import the same file types as stated above and a few extra ones (CSV, TAB, TXT and ASC), as well.

However, when exporting, you cannot use CSV, TXT or ASC formats, thus limiting your choices of managing your content outside this program.

On the bright side, this application allows you to generate complex reports and organize them by various criteria, including location, beneficiary or vendor. These entries can be printed afterwards, if you need a hard copy of your home inventory.

In conclusion, if you need software that can help you organize your home inventory in a convenient way and do not mind the outdated design and limited formats it can export to, you can rely on HomeManage.
