Value Guard

Receipts fade. Warranties expire quietly. Value Guard keeps both in one place, so the day something breaks you already know whether it is still covered.

Every item you add carries a live status: covered, expiring soon, or lapsed. The home screen shows how much of what you own is still protected and what it is all worth, so one glance answers the question you actually have.

Scan a receipt in seconds

Hold your phone over a receipt and Value Guard finds the paper's edges for you, straightens it, and reads the shop, the total and the date. All of that happens on your phone, so a receipt never has to be uploaded anywhere to be read.

Never miss an expiry date

Value Guard reminds you a week before a warranty runs out, while you can still claim, repair or extend. The reminder arrives even when the app is closed.

Track every part separately

Real products rarely have a single warranty. Give the motor a different term from the battery, the panel a different term from the frame. Each part gets its own countdown, and the item shows the coverage that actually matters.

Keep the paperwork with the thing

Attach receipts, warranty cards, proof of purchase and PDF manuals to the item they belong to. When you need to make a claim, everything is on the same screen instead of in a drawer.

Backed up to your own Google Drive

Your vault backs up to a folder in your own Google Drive, not to a server of ours. Connect a second phone and the two merge rather than overwrite, so an edit made on one device and an edit made on the other both survive. Deletions travel too, so an item you removed does not reappear.

Works without a connection

The vault lives on your device. Add, edit, search and browse with no signal at all, and sync whenever you are back online.

What you can record

• Purchase date, price paid and serial number
• Photos of receipts and warranty cards
• PDF manuals and proof of purchase
• Several warranty terms per item, each with its own length
• How long you have owned each thing

Kitchen, electronics, computing, photography, audio, mobility, appliances and climate: search by name or brand, filter by category, and sort by value to see your most expensive items first.

Who it is for

Anyone who has thrown away a receipt and regretted it. Homeowners and renters keeping track of appliances. Photographers and cyclists with expensive kit. Freelancers who need proof of purchase at tax time. Families who want one shared record of what the household owns.

Value Guard is free to use.
