PICK is a total house inventory tracking program. The intention of PICK is to give you one place to keep track of all the stuff you own - serial numbers, product numbers, where it is, what it is, etc. We're all supposed to have a total house inventory for insurance purposes, but very few people actually do it. PICK makes it easy to create and maintain this important list.

After creating PICK, Paul went to talk to a local insurance agency about it, to see what sorts of reports we could include to increase the value even more. The response he got was nervous fidgeting and a polite but subdued response indicating that they saw no value in keeping track of all this information. Our analysis of this could only lead to one conclusion: that the insurance companies don't want you to know how much stuff you actually have. They want you to forget. Why? So they don't have to pay to replace it should you lose it.

PICK Features:

• Enter and track all your stuff - from DVDs to furniture to electronics and beyond
• Lower insurance costs by only buying the coverage you actually need
• Approach insurance companies with the confidence that you didn't forget anything

v1.2 Beta

There's an "other download" added in October 2021 for version 1.2. Paul actually made this version back in early 2016 and we've been testing and using it ever since. But apparently when I (Jamie) started my new day job in February that year, this release is one of many things that fell to the wayside and was forgotten. Sorry about that. I haven't made an installer for it because, honestly, I forgot how. Just unzip the program and run it from anywhere; and/or overwrite the installed version in your Program Files folder. It's compiled against .Net Framework 4.5.1, so any modern machine should be able to run it.

Independent Virus Scans

In light of all that, we're including links to independent software sites that have done virus scans of our software. Feel free to follow their links and see for yourself that we don't do anything we're not supposed to.

Note: There is no upgrade package to go from version 1.0 to 1.1 because all of the files have changed in the new version. The new installation package above can be used to upgrade your existing Windows version. Don't worry, it's smart enough to overwrite your currently installed version without adding yet another entry to your Add/Remove Programs list.
