Introduction to ThingzSafe

What ThingzSafe is for

ThingzSafe helps you keep a clear record of what you own, such as your home contents, tools or stock. It is useful for insurance claims and for knowing what your belongings are worth. See Inventory valuation.

Your inventory is stored securely on your phone, in encrypted form.

For each item you can record where it is, what it is worth, its photos and documents, and its history. Everything about an item is kept together in one place.

A place for everything

A Site is a whole place, such as your home, garage, workplace or storage unit.

Areas divide a Site into sections, such as a room, cupboard or shed. Areas are optional, so you can use a Site without them.

What is a Thing?

A Thing is any item you want to keep track of, such as a car, computer, cupboard or bookcase. Each Thing holds its location, photos, documents and history together.

What are Parts?

Parts are pieces that belong to a Thing and that you track separately. Each Part has its own photos and history.

For a car, Parts could be the wheels or the exhaust, which you might replace. For a computer, they could be components you might upgrade.

What are Contents?

Contents are the individual items stored inside a Thing, such as books on a shelf, tins in a cupboard, building supplies in a workshop store, or CDs in a CD case.

Good to know: A Part is fitted to a Thing and belongs with it. Contents are stored inside a Thing and can be taken out.

Add, organise and find

• Add a Thing by typing its details, scanning its barcode, or taking photos to finish later.
• Photos you take are saved as drafts. They wait in your Review queue until you add the details.
• Search your inventory whenever you need to find something.
• Print barcode labels and set Calendar and repeating reminders to keep each item's details together.

What is a household?

A household is the group of people (two or more) who share one inventory on their own phones. For example, a couple keeping a home inventory, or three people sharing the tools and stock in a garage.

With a Household plan, changes made by anyone in your household appear on everyone's phone automatically. See Create or join a household.
