Should I include every cable and adapter?

Start with devices you would replace or claim. Add accessories later if they matter to you.

How do I keep the checklist from going stale?

Update Home Tech Vault when something new arrives or leaves. The vault is the living checklist.

Home tech checklist

Use this checklist to stand up a reliable household technology record, then maintain it in Home Tech Vault instead of starting over every year.

Room-by-room progress
Work through living spaces methodically so nothing obvious gets skipped.
Paperwork in the same pass
Capture manuals and receipts while you are already looking at each device.
Maintenance that sticks
The checklist becomes an inventory — not a PDF you lose after moving day.

Each theme maps to a Home Tech Vault capability so the list does not die in Notes.

Getting started without boiling the ocean.

Many households finish a useful first pass in an evening by focusing on high-value and frequently used devices.

Devices, documents, maintenance, network, family sharing, pricing, and the Knowledge Center — linked from every guide.
