American Family Insurance used to offer an app for this called DreamVault (https://appadvice.com/app/dreamvault/536354802). They discontinued it in 2016 shortly after I put my whole house inventory into it of course. It had enough features to make it useful but wasn't very impressive overall. There may be some perverse incentives in NOT having this service for home insurers. If you don't have a good home inventory, they can pay a reduce reimbursement amount.

This is why I would never trust a hosted web app to do something like this. I fully expect my house to last much longer than any such company. I’d want an app I run on my computer with data that I can export to something time lasting like CSV/PDF/etc.

Good luck accessing that data after a fire. Would be better to have the insurance company store it.

if the web app allows csv download, i dont see the issue. set up an automation to download a local copy every week or whatever.

the download better be secure, but that's very doable
