Find the right paper
Search a name, keyword, or quick ID and see the item’s recorded location instead of retracing your steps through boxes.
Insurance · certificates · receiptsA home for the things you keep
How much time do you spend looking for documents?
The certificate is in a folder. The folder is in a box. The box is… somewhere. HomeLibrarian helps your household find the paper without searching every box.
Know what you haveKnow where it livesFind it when it matters
A familiar problem
Some things are too important to be “around here somewhere.”
You shouldn’t have to search every drawer when a form is due, an appliance breaks, or someone asks for a record you filed months ago.
Remember where it went
Catalogue folders, binders, and boxes as containers. Move a container, and its contents follow its location.
Cabinets · drawers · archive boxesKeep track of movement
Record check-outs, check-ins, and moves so your catalogue reflects how your household actually uses its records.
Shared files · loaned documents · movesStart with one box
HomeLibrarian remembers where everything is, so you don't have to.
Catalogue your entire collection over time. Even ten documents a day makes another part of the house searchable. Start with the papers you reach for most; add the rest when it suits you.

Questions you may have.
Do I have to catalogue everything at once?
No. Add the papers that matter most first and work through your collection over time. Ten a day is a perfectly good pace.
Do I need an internet connection?
Ordinary desktop use is designed to work offline. Initial paid-license activation will need a connection when that service launches; after activation, it does not require periodic online checks.
Can I use HomeLibrarian on my phone?
The Android app can keep its own library or pair with a Windows desktop library over a local network. Paired changes follow the selected Offline mode or Auto Sync mode.
Where are my records stored?
The desktop catalogue is stored locally, with photos as local files. Encrypted backup archives support recovery and transfer.
