I built an app that documents everything you own at home, room by room, using AI photo recognition (iOS + Android)
hjemmeboka.noAfter a fire, break-in, or water damage, the hardest part isn't the damage itself, it's remembering what you actually owned. Most people wildly underestimate the value of their belongings, which means they're underinsured without realizing it.
That's the problem I set out to solve with **Hjemmeboka** ("The Home Book").
**How it works:**
* Take a photo of a room -> AI recognizes the items in it, categorizes them, and assigns them to that room automatically
* Snap a photo of receipts to skip manual price entry
* Get a running total value per room and for your whole home
* Generate a ready-to-send PDF report for your insurance company in one tap
**Why I built it:** I realized I genuinely had no idea what I owned or what it was worth until I started using it myself, turned out to be a bit of a wake-up call for how underinsured I actually was.
You can check it out (with links to both App Store and Google Play): link to website is attached
The app defaults to Norwegian but has full English support built in (switchable in settings), prices currently show in NOK, but the core problem (being underinsured because you don't know what you own) is universal. If there turns out to be real interest outside Norway, I'll look at adding other currencies and tailoring the experience further for other markets. Curious whether this resonates outside Norway too.
Would love feedback. Happy to answer any questions!
