Problem
Individuals often struggle to keep an inventory of personal belongings, leading to difficulty locating items, estimating total household value, and providing necessary documentation for insurance claims. This lack of organization can result in duplicate purchases, inadequate insurance coverage, and time‑consuming claim processes.
Solution
MyShelf offers a cloud‑based platform that lets users catalog every item in their home by scanning photos and adding details such as location, description, and estimated value. The system aggregates item values to show the total worth of a household, helping users assess and adjust insurance coverage proactively. When a loss occurs, MyShelf generates a complete, exportable inventory report that can be submitted directly to insurers. Users can also create secure share links to lend items to friends, reducing redundant purchases and facilitating peer‑to‑peer borrowing while tracking the status of borrowed items.
Target Audience
MyShelf is aimed at homeowners, renters, and anyone who wants a centralized digital record of personal possessions, as well as individuals who frequently lend or borrow items within their social circles.
