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.

To be honest, would a spreadsheet not be a good use for this? There are FOSS asset trackers, but a simple .ods with a pictures column might serve you well. Are there additional features/conveniences you are looking for?

I wonder if something like a picture or video is sufficient to inventory quantities and general cost, such as clothes. The number of t-shirts I have changed over time, but a week worth of Carhartt adds up

I was thinking of doing that, but I don't think it would handle attachments gracefully. I also don't want to inflate it to a 100gb document with all of the attachments.
