A home inventory backup you can actually test.
Document what you own. Export a claim packet your adjuster accepts on the first try. Pay once.
Join the households already on the list — you’ll hear the day it ships.
✓ Backup verified
Kestrove restores your encrypted backup into a sandbox and shows you the rebuilt inventory — rooms, items, photos, counted and checked. Not a promise on a settings page. A drill you can run today, so the file is proven before you need it.
How Kestrove works
-
1
Capture one room
Pick a room, snap a photo, name the item, give it a rough value — done, next. Ten minutes of work is a real, protected inventory.
-
2
Export your Claim Packet
One tap produces a polished PDF with photos per line plus a CSV in carrier-schedule shape — the format adjusters ask for, ready before you ever need it.
-
3
Test your backup
Kestrove restores your encrypted backup into a sandbox and verifies the counts. The home screen shows the calm answer: Backup verified.
Your records. Not a rental.
The subscription model
Your inventory lives in someone else’s cloud, behind a fee that can rise — and has, steeply. Stop paying, lose access. One well-known free inventory service simply shut down and told users to export within the month.
The Kestrove model
Everything stays on your iPhone, encrypted. Your backup is a file you hold — versioned, openable, yours. If Kestrove vanished tomorrow, you’d still have everything. €24.99, once.
The export that pays for itself
Adjusters don’t want a list — they want evidence they can click. Kestrove’s Claim Packet is a polished PDF plus a clean CSV, the shape carriers actually paste into their systems:
Per line: description with brand and model, condition, age, quantity, replacement cost — and the photo linked to the line.
Built to be trusted with your worst day
- On your device. No account, no servers of ours. App Store privacy label: Data Not Collected.
- Encrypted. Your inventory is encrypted at rest; the export file too. We can’t see any of it.
- A restore you can rehearse. The one-tap drill rebuilds your inventory from the backup file and shows you the result.
- The unlock survives disaster. Reinstall on a new phone, tap Restore Purchases, and everything you paid for comes back. That promise is the brand.
- A named human. Kestrove is made by Michael, an independent developer at oomny bv in the Netherlands, who answers email personally.
One price. No table.
€24.99 once
Free to start: document a room and your high-value items, export a basic list, test the backup. €24.99 unlocks everything, forever — unlimited items and homes, the Claim Packet export, serial & warranty fields, Face ID lock.
Optional encrypted cloud backup later, if you want off-device peace of mind. The app never requires it.
Honest answers
Why not a free app or a spreadsheet?
Most free options store your records in a cloud you don’t control, crash at the worst moment, or can’t prove their backup restores. A spreadsheet works — until you need photos linked to lines and an adjuster-ready format at 2am after a break-in.
Is the export really mine?
Yes. It’s a versioned, encrypted file you hold wherever you like — and the restore drill proves it rebuilds. Even the free tier exports, because lock-in would break the whole promise.
Will my insurer accept it?
Kestrove produces a standard, evidence-linked PDF and CSV (photos, descriptions, serials, values, dates) — the format adjusters ask for. Kestrove is a documentation tool, not an insurance product; coverage decisions are always your insurer’s.
I heard California now pays without an inventory?
Partly true: for declared-disaster total losses, a 2026 California law advances 60% of contents coverage without itemization. You still need item-level proof for the other 90% of claims — theft, burst pipes, single-room fires — for amounts above the advance, and everywhere outside California.
One-time? Really?
Really. €24.99 once. No subscription on your records, ever — an optional cloud backup may carry its own small fee because hosting costs real money, but your inventory never depends on it.
