Ikeepm is a tool intended to help homeowners keep track of their personal belongings in case of a disaster. The user’s data is stored online so the user can retrieve it from anywhere with internet access, even if their personal computer is damaged or destroyed. Ikeepm also utilizes on and off site backup sources so data is always safe. The user can decide how they would like to organize their items by sorting into rooms they choose. The user can organize by room (such as kitchen, family room, bedroom, etc.) or come up with a different category scheme that works for them. Reports help the user clean out rooms and determine which items are worth the most and which they may want to get rid of. Reports also let users create lists that can help for insurance purposes by setting a specific dollar amount and searching individual rooms.

Ikeepm was created in 2011 by Echoio. The application supplies users with a hassle-free way to compile all their belongings into one list. The user can see where their most valuable items are and use lists to provide information they may need to purchase an insurance policy. The application was also intended to provide user with a quick reference in case an emergency damages all or part of their home. The current version offers a significant upgrade from the standard Excel spreadsheet or handwritten list.

Ikeepm provides users with an effective way to manage lists of all their most important belongings. The application stands out for a number of reasons. Users can choose how they wish to sort items by creating rooms (which are essentially categories) to place items under. The application also provides a number of reporting options that allow users to isolate high dollar items or review items in a room to see what they can sell off or get rid of to make more space.

Ikeepm has a very clean, streamlined appearance that allows the user to navigate smoothly from one area to the next. Tabs provide access to each tool so the user can view items, rooms or access their reports. The user interface maintains a hint of professional style that includes absolutely no clutter so the user can focus on the task at hand. Despite the lack of visual decorations, Ikeepm still manages to present itself in an appealing manner.

A new user can create an Ikeepm account by filling out the short registration form presented along the right side of the homepage. The form asks for an email address and password. The user must also check the terms of service agreement box below the form before clicking the red “Sign Up” button to submit it. The user is immediately signed in and can begin adding items and creating rooms to sort their belongings.

Ikeepm invites anyone to utilize its services for free. There are no subscription fees and all users are given access to all current features. The user is not required to make a purchase or pay a fee to maintain an account. This is a great way to encourage more people to create lists and manage their belongings in case of an emergency. The application offers users an excellent value for the price.
