Anchor

Proof before you need it.

Anchor helps you make a clear home-inventory record before a move, storm, claim, storage problem, or estate cleanup turns details into a scramble.

For prepared households who want control before the stressful part starts.

The PDF Output

Know what you own before it matters.

The point is not to make a beautiful archive. The point is to have a usable record when somebody asks, “What was there, where was it, and can you show it?”

Actual item images

The PDF shows the item that was documented, not just a typed line you have to explain later.

Serial number proof

If an item has a serial number or model label, add it. If it is a couch, lamp, or table, skip the extra photo and move on.

Line-by-line descriptions

Each item can print with its room, owner or project member, brand, category, notes, and plain description.

Owner attestation

The report includes completion status, signer names, witness fields, date, and a location-services verification stamp when available.

Replacement value

Add estimated replacement values where they help. The final PDF totals the values and marks items still missing a value.

Source footer

Printouts identify where the report came from: Anchor by Circle the People at circlethepeople.com/anchor.

Use Anchor For

Inventory is control before the stressful part starts.

Build the record before the move, storm, storage problem, claim, or cleanup starts asking for details nobody wants to chase later.

Home inventory

Create a room-by-room record with item notes, proof photos, serial numbers, and ownership context.

Insurance documentation

Prepare supporting records before a claim or after a loss without pretending the tool guarantees an outcome.

Moving and storage

Track what is going into boxes, storage units, donations, estate cleanup, or temporary locations.

Disaster preparation

Make the basic proof set before wildfire, fire, flood, theft, or evacuation stress takes over.

Simple Home Pass

One house, one focused inventory, no endless vault.

The $29 Home Pass is built for a normal household inventory: up to 500 items and up to 1,000 photos. Most items need one photo. Use a second photo only when a serial number, model label, or backup detail actually matters.

$29 Home Pass

Document one home project, build the PDF, and keep the record useful without turning the app into unlimited storage.

$19 large-home upgrade

For estates, large homes, or unusually detailed projects that need more room than the standard pass.

Photos stay purposeful

Anchor is designed around proof photos, not photo hoarding. The finished PDF is the record people actually need.

Clear boundaries

Anchor supports documentation. It is not claim approval, legal advice, emergency service, or a permanent cloud vault.

Private By Design

Keep the proof. Do not keep more than you need.

Anchor’s job is to help you produce a durable PDF record. After the report is created, the product should favor cleanup and retention controls instead of keeping raw photos around forever.

Location stamp

When location services are available, the PDF can show that the inventory was verified from the active device context.

Device receipt

The record can include a local device receipt without exposing private third-party credentials.

PDF-first archive

The final report is the artifact. Raw capture material should be cleaned up when it is no longer needed.

Human review

Use the PDF as supporting documentation, then share it only with the people or services that actually need it.

Use The Record Later

Build the record while life is calm.

Use Anchor when memory would be too expensive later. Capture the images, serial numbers, descriptions, values, notes, and attestation while everything is still in front of you.
