Encircle moved on. Rebuild your home inventory in an afternoon.
What happened
Encircle refocused on its insurance-industry business, and consumer data access ended December 17, 2025. Home users who'd spent hours photographing rooms and cataloging belongings found the door closed — another reminder that an inventory living on someone else's server is a lease, not a possession.
The on-device point
Snap & Store keeps the whole catalog on your phone. No account, no server, nothing that can be sunset by a strategy pivot. If we vanished tomorrow, the app on your phone would keep working — your inventory doesn't depend on us staying in business. That architecture is the lesson of ToteScan and Encircle both; we wrote it up in the private home inventory post.
Rebuilding beats retyping
Starting over sounds worse than it is, because you're not typing this time. Film each box, bin, and shelf for about ten seconds — the on-device AI writes the item lists, and your photos stay attached so you can always look. A whole house is an afternoon of walking around with your phone, not weeks of data entry.
An honest note
Encircle's consumer product was insurance-first: valuations, receipts, claims workflows. Snap & Store doesn't do those — we're retrieval-first, built to answer “which box is it in.” If your goal is a claim-ready ledger with replacement values, an insurance-documentation app is the right tool, and we'd rather tell you that than waste your afternoon.
An inventory nobody can shut down.
