A little guidance.
A lot you can do.

A private, encrypted catalog of everything you own and what it is worth.

Choose a passphrase; the vault is created and encrypted with it.

A second way to open the vault if you forget the passphrase. Shown once.

Open the vault with your passphrase or recovery key; it locks itself when idle.

A quick walk through adding something to the catalog.

The sidebar, what each screen is for, and shortcuts.

Pick a kind, fill in the details, and add it.

Every built-in kind and the details each one asks for.

Bullion and bullion coins, valued from the spot price by weight and purity.

Coins and tokens priced by CoinGecko coin ID, with optional watch-only balances.

Grader, grade and certificate number — and reading a slab's barcode from a photo.

VINs, registrations, parcels — and why only your share of the value is recorded.

Make a kind with its own fields for things the app has no form for.

Change details, status, notes and tags; every edit is kept in its history.

Record change: bought more, sold some, sold all, or fix a wrong count.

What each status means for totals, reports and claims.

Start a similar item from an existing one.

Make part of a holding an item of its own, without recording a sale.

Deleted items wait in the trash for 30 days before they are removed for good.

Every version of an item is kept, so any edit can be undone.

Everything about one item, and everything you can do with it.

Where each figure comes from, what it measures, and why unknown is never zero.

Update value: amount, date, what it measures, and the source.

Comparable sales, a range, your confidence, and a supporting document.

Metals and crypto can be revalued automatically from current prices.

Void a mistyped value: it stays in the history but counts for nothing.

Type values for a list of items in one go.

Get reminded when an item's value is due for a fresh look.

Your base currency, items valued in other currencies, and the rates that convert them.

Why gain sometimes is not shown, and how to fix it.

The whole catalog: sort, filter, switch layout, and open any item.

Find items by name, notes, serials, tags, locations or documents.

Narrow the list by tag, location, or what is missing.

Save a search, filters and sort to come back to.

Labels you choose — for sale, insurance rider, Grandma's — searchable and filterable.

Where things are kept, with places inside places.

Select items in Holdings and change them all at once.

Group items that belong together and see how complete the set is.

Split one price paid for a lot across the items it bought.

Things you want — never counted as owned.

Add photos of an item; they are encrypted before they touch the disk.

Receipts, appraisals, certificates, warranties and manuals, kept with the item.

Open PDF documents inside the app — decrypted in memory only.

Export a photo or document to send or open elsewhere.

Services, repairs, inspections and warranties, with when the next is due.

Record who has something, and when it is due back.

Walk a room, safe or storage unit and confirm each thing is there.

Labels to stick on items or boxes, for quick inventory checks.

Total value, value over time, what needs attention and what is coming up.

What would make your totals more complete and the catalog more useful after a loss.

What the collection was worth on each date — value, not return.

Type spot prices yourself, or update them from metals.dev.

Coin prices for your crypto holdings, typed or fetched from CoinGecko.

Value metal you have not catalogued, at the stored spot price.

Optional free keys for one-click metal and crypto prices.

Every held item with photos, details, cost and value — to print or save as PDF.

Just the items lost, valued as they were before the loss, with their paperwork.

Bring in an inventory you keep in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets — any columns, checked row by row.

Export, edit hundreds of items in a spreadsheet, and import the changes.

Instructions for someone you trust to find and open the catalog.

Make a complete, still-encrypted backup of the vault — safe on an external drive.

The only proof a backup will open on a new computer.

Open a backup on this or another computer; every file is checked first.

Change what opens the vault from now on.

Replace a recovery key that may have been seen.

Open the vault with the recovery key, then set a new passphrase.

Keep the app and its catalog together in one folder — on a USB stick, say.

What is encrypted, what is not, and what to be careful with.

Nothing, unless you turn on a price feed or a balance lookup.

Follow the computer's setting, or always use light or dark.

Keys that work across the app.

Common surprises and what to do about them.

Terms used in the app.
