FAQ
Home inventory questions, answered.
Quick answers to the most common questions about how the LivingLedger home inventory app works, who it’s for, and what you can do with it.
What is LivingLedger?
LivingLedger is a simple home inventory app. It helps you log what you own, see where it is, and search your saved items instead of digging through bins and drawers.
What is a home inventory app?
A home inventory app is a tool for keeping a searchable list of items in your home and where they are. Instead of mentally tracking what’s in every drawer, you log items once and search later.
See our home inventory app guide for more.
Who is LivingLedger for?
Busy households, people who often rebuy things they already own, anyone overwhelmed by clutter, and people with ADHD or executive function challenges who want a simpler way to find what they own.
Can LivingLedger help me stop losing things?
Yes. Every item gets a location like Garage → Top Shelf. When you can’t find something, search the name and the app tells you where it is.

Can I use LivingLedger for storage bins?
Yes. Name each bin, scan items inside with a photo, review what AI finds, and search the contents later. Locations can be created up to 3 levels deep, such as Garage → Shelf → Bin.
More in our storage bin guide.
Can I use LivingLedger for ADHD organization?
Yes. The app is designed to be simple, with no complex setup or required structure — it offloads the mental work of remembering where things are. LivingLedger is not a medical product and does not treat or diagnose any condition.
Can I track expiration dates?
Yes. LivingLedger includes structured expiration tracking. You can enable expiration dates for categories where expiration matters, such as pantry items, supplements, and household supplies.
Can I search my entire inventory?
Yes. Search is the primary way you use the app. Type any word and you’ll see matching items with their locations.
How deep can locations go?
Locations can be created up to 3 levels deep, such as Garage → Shelf → Bin.
Can my family share an inventory?
Not yet. LivingLedger is single-user today, and shared household inventories are on the roadmap.

What happens to my inventory if I cancel Pro?
You keep your saved inventory. If you cancel Pro, your account moves back to the Free plan at the end of your billing period. You can still view, search, and manually manage your inventory. Pro only controls unlimited AI scanning.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Export is currently handled by request. Email support@livingledger.net and we’ll help provide a full export of your data. Self-serve export is on the roadmap.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. You can delete your account and associated data yourself from the Account page in the app anytime. You may also email support@livingledger.net if you need help.
Is LivingLedger simple to use?
Yes. The app is built around three actions: add an item, give it a location, and search for it later. There is no complicated setup or required system.
Does it work offline?
Your inventory is available offline once you’ve signed in. You can add and edit items manually while offline — they’ll sync automatically when you reconnect. AI scanning, photo uploads, and syncing across devices require an internet connection.
Where can I get LivingLedger?
LivingLedger is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and as a web app at inventory.livingledger.net for desktop and Android Chrome.
Does LivingLedger work on Android?
Yes. On Android, LivingLedger runs as a web app in Chrome — there’s no native Play Store app, but you can open it in your browser, sign in, and use your full inventory. You can also add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.
See Does LivingLedger work on Android? for full setup and sync details.
Can I use LivingLedger without an iPhone?
Yes. You don’t need an iPhone, or any Apple device. Alongside the native iOS app, LivingLedger runs as a web app in modern browsers, so you can create an account and use your full inventory from an Android phone, a Windows PC, a Chromebook, or a Mac.
