Is there a FOSS program where I can inventory my high value items in case there is an insurance claim?

I was thinking of the item, the picture of the item and serial number, maybe the UPC, and then an attachment of the receipt.

I'm guessing some kind of database that integrates file attachments per item.

Looks aight but I consider it overkill for my needs. I have my own system which is just creating a note titled 'YY-MM-DD Desc/Model' when I purchase something and adding compressed images & scans of the label/serial, sometimes packaging, user guide, etc.

I then just print a dymo label for the product, components, cables, and spare parts using the note title so I can search the date and pull it up if I need. Makes dealing with a mountain of cables and power adapters much easier. I never pull something out of storage and go "what the fuck is this" anymore.

Testing and tagging USB-C cables is especially helpful, too. They usually have no indication of what speed or power they can handle.
