Insurance & documentation
Document and insure your gear
A stolen guitar or a flooded studio is bad enough — arguing about what you owned makes it worse. MyGear keeps a complete, up-to-date record of your instruments and equipment: photos, serial numbers, purchase details and value estimates, ready when your insurer asks.

Always available
Your record lives online — not on the laptop or phone that might get stolen along with your gear.
Why document your gear now?
Most musicians only make an inventory after something goes wrong — and by then serial numbers are forgotten and receipts are gone. Insurers generally ask for proof of ownership and value before paying out, and a clear, dated record speeds up the conversation enormously.
With MyGear the record builds itself as you go: photograph a new purchase when it arrives, and the brand, model and category are filled in for you. Add the serial number and receipt, and you are done in under a minute per item.
MyGear is not an insurer and does not sell insurance. We make sure that when you need to prove what you had and what it was worth, you can.
Frequently asked questions
- What do insurers usually ask for after theft or damage?
- Insurers typically ask for proof of ownership and value: receipts, serial numbers, photos and sometimes a valuation. Keeping an up-to-date record of your gear with photos and serial numbers makes a claim much easier to file.
- How does MyGear help me document my gear?
- Take a photo of each instrument or device and MyGear's AI identifies the brand and model. Add serial numbers, purchase prices and notes, and your whole collection is stored in one place you can reach from anywhere.
- Can I export my gear list for my insurer?
- Yes. You can import an existing Excel or CSV list, and your locker keeps a structured record per item — brand, model, serial number, photos and value estimate — that you can share when an insurer asks for it.
- Does MyGear tell me what my gear is worth?
- MyGear estimates the value of used gear from real used listings seen over time. When there is not enough data for a reliable estimate, no estimate is shown.
- Is MyGear an insurance product?
- No. MyGear helps you document and value your gear; it does not sell insurance. For coverage, contact your insurer or a specialist in instrument insurance.
- Is it free?
- Yes. MyGear is free for musicians and is funded by affiliate commissions from retailers.
