Assets

A register of what you own and use — with depreciation, warranty and service dates, the policy covering each item, and an encrypted document vault.

Assets is a register, not a portfolio. It tracks the ownership lifecycle of the things you own and use: what they are worth now, when the warranty or service is due, whether they are covered, and where the proof lives.

Value that moves on its own#

Assets can depreciate. Choose auto-depreciate and record a purchase price and date, and Monestra evaluates the curve at any date rather than storing a value per day. Record a manual valuation instead and that figure stands until you change it.

A condition — new, excellent, good, fair, poor — sits alongside for the things a curve cannot know.

Warranty, service and renewal#

Each asset can carry dates for warranty expiry, next service and any renewal. These feed:

Insurance cover, read from the policy#

An asset does not carry an "insured" flag. It links to the Insurance policy covering it, and cover is read from that policy.

This matters more than it sounds. A hand-set flag is right on the day you set it and slowly becomes a lie. A link stays accurate: let the policy lapse and the asset shows "Policy lapsed" rather than continuing to claim it is insured.

If the linked policy is deleted, the asset says so — "linked, but deleted" — rather than quietly reverting to uninsured.

The document vault#

Receipts, invoices, warranty cards, registration papers and photographs attach to an asset and are encrypted at rest. They are never included in a report and never leave the device except inside an encrypted backup.

Opening the vault is gated behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode when masking is on — the gate holds on tap-through, not just on the screen you can see.

This manual describes what Monestra does with the records you enter. It is not financial advice, and nothing in it is a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, or arrange anything.
