NookNDen User Guide

What is NookNDen?

NookNDen is your personal inventory vault. Use it to track what you own—appliances, electronics, furniture, valuables, and more—with photos, serial numbers, warranties, receipts, and maintenance history in one place.

Getting started

1. Go to the home page and click Sign Up.
2. Enter your name, email, and password, then submit the form — or choose Continue with Google if that option is shown.
3. Email/password accounts: check your email and click the verification link before logging in.
4. Log in with email and password, or Continue with Google.
5. If you turned on two-factor authentication, enter your authenticator (or email/backup) code when prompted.
6. You will land on your Inventory page—your main workspace.

Already have an account? Click Log In from the home page or go directly to /login.

Forgot your password?On the login page, click “Forgot password?” and enter your email. We'll send a reset link (valid for 1 hour). Google sign-in accounts do not use a NookNDen password—use Google to sign in instead.

Change your password while logged in: Open Account & data and use Change password. Enter your current password, then your new one twice.

Two-factor authentication

Turn it on

1. Open Account & data from your profile menu (or /settings/account).
2. Under "Two-factor authentication", click Enable authenticator app.
3. Scan the QR code with Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, or a similar app (or enter the key manually).
4. Enter the 6-digit code from the app to confirm.
5. Save the backup codes shown on screen in a safe place — they are shown only once.

Signing in with MFA— After your password or Google sign-in succeeds, you will see a verification screen. Enter a code from your authenticator app. Prefer email? Choose “Email me a code instead.” Lost your phone? Switch to Backup code and use one of the codes you saved at enrollment.

Turn it off— On Account & data, enter your current password or a valid authenticator code, then disable two-factor authentication.

Sign out other devices

1. On a device you still control, open Account & data.
2. Under "Signed-in devices", click Sign out other devices and confirm.
3. This browser stays signed in; all others must log in again.

Resetting your password (forgot-password flow) or changing your password while signed in also signs out every other device automatically.

Your inventory

View modes — Switch between Grid, List, and Catalogue using the toggle above your items. Your choice is saved automatically.

• Grid — cards with photos, great for browsing
• List — compact rows for scanning many items quickly
• Catalogue — full-screen swipeable gallery

Click any item card to open its full details. Click a group card to see grouped products together.

Adding items

1. On the Inventory page, click "New Item".
2. Fill in the name and item type (e.g. Appliances, Electronics).
3. Optionally add manufacturer, model, serial number, room, purchase date, price, warranty date, and notes.
4. Click "Add Item" to save.

Scan a product label (paid feature) — If you have an active subscription, use the scan button to photograph a product label. NookNDen will read the label and fill in details for you. Always review before saving.

Free plan limit — You can track up to 10 active items for free. Subscribe to add more.

Item details

Open any item to see and edit its full record.

• Photos — upload from your device or take a picture. Drag thumbnails to reorder.
• Room — assign the item to a room so your home stays organized.
• Status — mark items as Active, Sold, Disposed, or Lost.
• Warranty — set an expiry date and support contact. Expired warranties are flagged.
• Purchase value — enter a sale price and purchase date to see an estimated current value.
• Value trajectory — see how estimated value may change over time (depreciation or appreciation by category). Optional appraisal value and date rebase the estimate from that point.
• Notes — store anything else you want to remember.

Click the pencil icon to edit. Click Save when you are done. Use the trash icon to delete an item permanently.

At the bottom of the item page you will find tabs for Maintenance, Receipts & Invoices, Manuals, Loans (lending to people), and AI recommendations.

Houses & rooms

1. From Inventory, click "My Rooms".
2. Add a house if you have not already (name and address).
3. Optionally set a property value and as-of date on the house — this feeds your Net worth total.
4. Click "Add Room", pick a room type, and give it a name.
5. Open a room to edit its photos and description, or see all items assigned to it.
6. When adding or editing an item, pick a room from the location field.

Share with family — On the Rooms page, invite someone by email to collaborate on a house. They must already have a NookNDen account.

Net worth & finances

Net worth — Opens a snapshot of total assets (property value + belongings + investments) minus debts (your recorded loans). Use the linked cards to jump to rooms, summary, accounts, or loans.

Summary — Totals and breakdowns for your inventory values (what your tracked belongings add up to).

Accounts — Track investment and cash accounts. Add balances manually, or connect a brokerage through SnapTrade when that option is available for a read-only sync of balances and holdings (NookNDen never places trades).

1. From Inventory, open "Loans".
2. Add a loan with name, remaining balance, and terms.
3. Review the balance chart, then check Net worth to see assets minus debts.

Product groups

1. Click "Create Group" on the Inventory page.
2. Name the group and select the items to include.
3. Save. The group appears in your inventory list.
4. Open the group to remove individual items or ungroup everything.

Maintenance & records

On an item's page, open the Maintenance tab to log history over time.

• Maintenance — repairs, service visits, tune-ups
• Transaction — purchases, sales, or costs tied to the item
• Other — anything that does not fit the above

Each record can include a title, details, cost, date, and an optional reminder. Set a reminder date and message to get an email when it is due.

Receipts & documents

On an item's page, use the Receipts & Invoices and Manuals tabs to upload PDFs or images. Large files are compressed automatically so stored documents stay under 5 MB.

On Manuals, you can also paste a manufacturer user-guide URL — useful when you own multiple units of the same product and want to reuse one link. Rename documents anytime; receipts and invoices can be included in PDF reports (manuals stay separate).

Lending an item

1. Open an item and go to the Loans tab.
2. Click "Record loan" and enter the borrower name, contact info, and dates.
3. When the item comes back, mark it as returned.

An active loan shows a badge on the Loans tab so you can spot lent items at a glance.

Warranties

From Inventory, open Warrantiesto see items with warranty dates in one place — handy for spotting what expires soon. You can still set or edit warranty details on each item's page.

Health Tracker

NookNDen Health keeps personal medical visit records separate from home inventory. An administrator must enable Health Tracker for your account (Admin → Users). Then open /health (also linked as Health from Inventory when enabled).

1. Add a visit — optionally scan multi-page paperwork (camera or files), combine into one PDF, and auto-fill fields (AI access required).
2. Choose who it is for (yourself or a family member) plus relationship, then review title, date, type, and status.
3. Confirm clinic location and reason.
4. List whom they saw — physicians, nurses, specialists, and others.
5. Add more documents anytime (lab results, referrals, receipts).
6. Log out-of-pocket expenses (copay, parking, prescriptions) on each visit.
7. Use the filter chips to show visits for everyone or one person.
8. PDF visit downloads one record; PDF history downloads only the visits currently shown by the filter.
9. Health AI (subscription + Health Tracker permission) can summarize filtered visits, read uploaded PDFs/images, or answer questions — with redaction and an explicit consent step.

AI features

• Label scan — photograph a product label when adding or editing an item
• Service recommendations — find repair and service options near you
• Accessory recommendations — discover compatible parts and add-ons
• Ask about this item — chat-style answers about care, specs, and troubleshooting
• Health AI — summarize Health Tracker visits and read uploaded documents (names/addresses redacted; no web search grounding)

Open an item, go to the AI recommendations tab, and follow the on-screen prompts. Health AI lives on the Health Tracker page when access is enabled.

PDF reports

Full inventory report

1. On the Inventory page, click "Generate Report".
2. Select which items to include.
3. Choose whether to attach receipt and invoice documents.
4. Confirm to download the PDF.

Single item or room report — Open an item or room and use the report button on that page for a focused export.

Search & filters

Click Filter to narrow results by status (Active, Sold, Disposed, Lost) or item type. Active filter chips appear below the search bar—click the X on any chip to remove it.

Billing & plans

1. Click your profile circle (top right) and choose Billing.
2. Review your current plan and item count.
3. Subscribe monthly or annually, or open the billing portal to manage an existing subscription.

• Billing — manage your subscription
• Account & Data — password, sign out other devices, two-factor authentication, email preferences, referrals, export, or delete your account
• Log Out — sign out of your account on this device only

On Account & data you can also turn marketing emails on or off. Account, security, and billing messages still send when needed. See Two-factor authentication and Sign out other devices for security steps.

Site accounting (income and expense tracking) is available only to the designated site owner and is not part of the standard homeowner workflow.
