Frequently Asked Questions

The Home Screen displays a collection of assets based on a selected Tag Type. On the left corner of the light blue bar above the asset list, you’ll see the Collection icon showing the currently selected Tag Type. Tap this icon to view all available Tag Types that have assets associated with them. Selecting a different Tag Type instantly changes the collection displayed on the Home Screen. D’kluter remembers your last selected collection and automatically restores it when you reopen or restart the app, making it a seamless personal asset management app experience.

You can quickly find all assets sharing a specific Tag Value by:

• ● Long-pressing the Tag Value on an asset detail screen, or
• ● Viewing Tag Values under Settings, where each Tag Value shows the count of assets linked to it.

This helps you efficiently manage assets that are related by category, location, usage, or any other metadata.

D’kluter’s image-based search lets you visually search your assets. From the global search bar, tap the camera icon to either take a photo or select one from your gallery.

After capturing the image, you can optionally remove the background for better accuracy. The system then finds visually similar assets from your collection. This feature is especially useful for people who prefer visual recall when they manage stuff.

Yes. You can filter the asset catalogue using multiple Tag Values across different Tag Types. This allows you to combine filters, for example, selecting a Category, a Location, and a Status at the same time, to quickly narrow down your assets and find exactly what you’re looking for. The results update instantly as you add or remove Tag Values, making it easy to refine your view without manual searching.

Yes. Category is the only mandatory Tag Type in D’kluter. Every asset must have at least one Category Tag Value assigned to it. This ensures a consistent structure across your personal asset management system, making assets easier to organise, search, and retrieve over time.

No. There is no limit on the number of Tag Values that can be assigned to a single asset.

Similarly, there is no restriction on how many assets can share the same Tag Value. This flexibility allows you to describe assets from multiple perspectives within your personal asset management workflow.

No. You can create unlimited Tag Types and unlimited Tag Values. This gives you complete freedom to model your life organiser and asset catalogue exactly the way you want, whether simple or highly detailed, making D’kluter adaptable to any personal asset management style.

No. Each Tag Value must be globally unique and cannot be reused across different Tag Types. This rule avoids ambiguity and ensures accurate filtering, searching, and reporting across your personal asset management system.

Yes. A Tag Type and a Tag Value can share the same name. This capability is intentionally designed to support hierarchical relationships, allowing you to create structured, multi-level classifications within your asset metadata.

Hierarchical relationships allow you to organize assets into parent–child structures.To define a hierarchy:

• ● A Tag Value must also exist as a Tag Type.
• ● That Tag Value becomes the parent, and its Tag Values become children.

For example:

• ● CLOTHES (Tag Value + Tag Type)
1. ○ SHIRTS (Tag Value + Tag Type)
1. ■ FORMAL_SHIRTS
2. ■ CASUAL_SHIRTS

An asset tagged as FORMAL_SHIRTS will automatically inherit SHIRTS and CLOTHES, enabling smarter asset management without manual duplication.

When viewing a list of assets that share a Tag Value, use the edit icon at the top right to manage common Tag Values.

• ● You can remove a Tag Value or add a new one, and the change applies to all selected assets.
• ● To rename a Tag Value, delete the old one and add a new Tag Value in its place.

Note: A Category Tag Value cannot be deleted if doing so leaves any asset without a Category assigned.

On the Add/Edit Asset screen, tap the microphone icon to search for Tag Values using voice input.

• ● Ensure Voice On is enabled in Settings.
• ● Select the appropriate Voice Language for better accuracy.

If multiple matches are found, you can select the correct Tag Value manually. If there’s a single exact match, it is added automatically making it faster to manage assets hands-free.

Yes. You can export and import Tag Types and Tag Values using CSV files.

• ● Export Tags and Tag Types from Settings
• ● Import them on another device or app instance

This is useful for sharing structured setups in a personal asset management app.

Transactions allow you to record asset-related events such as purchases, repairs, invoices, warranties, or disposals. You can also attach supporting documents. Transactions are accessed from the asset detail screen via the Transactions icon.

Yes. D’kluter supports bulk asset creation and bulk updates using CSV files. You can access this functionality through Settings → Export / Bulk Import, making it easy to manage large volumes of assets efficiently, especially useful for advanced personal asset management use cases.

You can view asset changes in multiple ways:

• ● Recently Added / Modified view from the main screen
• ● Audit Log within an asset’s detail screen
• ● Audit Logs under Settings for all assets

Audit Logs can be filtered by date, type of change (asset details, reminders, transactions, media), and action (add, modify, delete). This ensures full traceability in your asset management app.

Reminders help you track future, time-based events related to an asset, such as renewals, servicing schedules, warranty expirations, returns, or follow-ups. Reminders are asset-specific, and you can create multiple reminders for the same asset, ensuring nothing important slips through the cracks in your personal asset management routine.

Open the asset detail screen and tap the bell icon at the bottom. From the reminder screen, use the add (+) icon to create or modify reminders. The app also displays a count of active reminders, giving you quick visibility into upcoming obligations across your assets.

Yes. From the main screen, tap the Reminders icon to view all active reminders across your entire asset catalogue. You can switch between a grouped-by-asset view or a chronological timeline using the Sort option, helping you manage reminders efficiently within your personal asset management system.

• ● ACTIVE: Displays current and upcoming reminders that will trigger notifications.
• ● INACTIVE: Displays past reminders that have already occurred and no longer notify

This setting defines a default reminder time that is automatically applied when creating new reminders. You can override this time for individual reminders, balancing speed and flexibility when managing reminders in your personal asset management workflow.

Yes. All data in D’kluter is encrypted using a Data Encryption Password known only to you.

Without physical access to your device and the encryption password, your data cannot be accessed, making security a core pillar of D’kluter’s personal asset management design.

If your encryption password is not saved in your device keychain and is forgotten, your data cannot be recovered. D’kluter does not store, transmit, or have access to user passwords, ensuring maximum privacy and user control.

The Data Encryption Password secures your local app database, encrypting all asset data stored on your device. You can change it via Settings → Change DB Encryption Password.

After changing the password, older backups created with the previous password cannot be restored, so always create a fresh backup to protect your personal asset management data.

D’kluter only accesses data that is created within the app, such as assets, images, tags, reminders, and documents. It does not access any other device data, and all user content is stored locally, not on external servers, reinforcing privacy-first personal asset management.

If your device was backed up using iCloud or Google Cloud with keychain enabled, your data can be restored on a new device automatically. Otherwise, you’ll need to restore a manual backup and provide your encryption password to regain access to your personal asset management system.

Manual backups are stored in a dedicated D’kluter folder within your iCloud or Google Drive account. Only someone with access to your cloud account and your encryption password can open these backups, ensuring secure long-term storage of your personal asset management data.

This option reduces image file sizes to save storage space and improve image search performance. The selected compression level applies only to newly added images, helping optimize performance as your personal asset management library grows.

Feature points are used by D’kluter’s AI-based image search to recognise and match images accurately. When switching devices or restoring backups, regenerating feature points recalculates them and improves image search accuracy across your asset catalogue.

This feature logs SQL queries generated by the app and is mainly intended for diagnostics and troubleshooting. You can view, clear, or share these logs when working with support or analysing advanced behaviour within your personal asset management system.

Using the global search camera icon, you can search assets visually by selecting or capturing an image.The background removal option enhances accuracy and is recommended when adding images as well.This intelligent search capability makes D’kluter a smart life organiser for managing personal belongings.

D’kluter allows you to quickly locate all assets that share a common Tag Value, making it easier to group, review, and manage related items. You can do this either by long-pressing a Tag Value on an asset’s detail screen or by navigating to Tag management under Settings, where each Tag Value displays the number of assets linked to it. Selecting a Tag Value instantly shows all associated assets, helping you efficiently manage assets within your personal asset management app.

Yes. D’kluter supports bulk asset creation and updates using CSV files, making it ideal for users who want to manage large collections of personal items efficiently. You can export existing asset data to a CSV file, edit or add new asset details using Excel or similar tools, and then import the updated file back into the app. This bulk operation capability significantly reduces manual effort and strengthens D’kluter as a scalable asset management app for managing personal inventories.

D’kluter provides a powerful filtering system that allows you to narrow down your asset catalogue using multiple Tag Values across different Tag Types. When multiple Tag Values are selected within the same Tag Type, the system applies an OR condition, meaning assets matching any of those values are shown. When Tag Values are selected across different Tag Types, an AND condition is applied, ensuring only assets meeting all criteria are displayed. This advanced filtering makes it easy to organize and manage stuff precisely the way you want.

The ACTIVE tab displays all current and upcoming reminders that are scheduled to trigger notifications. These reminders help you stay on top of important asset-related events such as renewals, servicing, or follow-ups. By consolidating all active reminders in one place, D’kluter acts as a reliable life organiser, ensuring you never miss time-sensitive actions related to your assets.

The INACTIVE tab contains reminders that have already passed and are no longer active. Once a reminder’s scheduled time has elapsed, it is automatically moved to this tab and stops generating notifications. This separation keeps your reminder list clean and focused, while still allowing you to review past events for reference within your personal asset management system.

D’kluter is designed with privacy-first principles and only accesses data created within the app itself. It does not read, scan, or collect any information from other apps or areas of your device. All asset data remains local to your device unless you explicitly back it up, reinforcing D’kluter’s position as a secure personal asset management app.

The SQL QUERIES option records the database queries generated internally by the app. This feature is primarily intended for diagnostics and troubleshooting, helping advanced users or support teams analyze app behavior when needed. You can view, clear, or export these logs, making it a useful advanced tool within the asset management ecosystem of D’kluter.

SET REMINDER TIME allows you to define a default time that is automatically applied whenever you create a new reminder. This helps maintain consistency and saves time when setting up reminders frequently. You can still override this default for individual reminders, offering both convenience and flexibility in how you manage assets and related events.
