What We Do On Site
Core Practice
Offline Storage Directories
Structured paper and binder indexes that map every labeled item to its physical location — shelf, drawer, or safe compartment.

Personal Wallet Audits
For households managing multiple document wallets, we create a cross-reference log so each folio's contents and location are recorded offline.

Field NotesMost people who contact App Summit Field have a drawer full of unmarked USB drives, a shelf of identical archive boxes, or three leather wallets nobody can tell apart. The problem is not carelessness — it is the absence of a consistent naming scheme that survives a move, a staff change, or a power outage.
Our work stays entirely offline. We do not install software, connect devices to the internet, or ask for account passwords. We bring labels, binders, and a method developed over twelve years of cataloguing physical records for households and small offices in Daegu.

From Recent Visits
Client Stories"My father kept twelve identical black drives in a shoebox. After the labeling session, each one has a number stamped on the spine and a line in the binder. I still wish we had done this five years ago, but at least now I know which drive holds the family photos."
"The directory binder sits next to our safe. When the accountant asks for the 2019 receipts, I flip to section C instead of emptying every wallet onto the table. The labels are plain — no fancy fonts — which is exactly what I wanted."

Choosing a Prefix System That Still Makes Sense in Five Years
The most common mistake we see during initial consultations is a prefix scheme that runs out of room. A client labels drives D1, D2, D3 and then buys a batch of identical drives that all need labels on the same afternoon. Suddenly D1 through D15 exist and nobody remembers whether D7 is the tax drive or the photo backup.
Start with typed prefixes, not numbers alone
A prefix like DRV- immediately tells you the item category when you glance at a spine label in a dim closet. Pair it with three-digit numbers (DRV-001, DRV-002) and you have headroom for 999 items in that category before needing a new prefix.
Where to Place Labels on External Hard Drives Without Covering Vents
During tagging sessions, clients often ask whether a label on the top surface will trap heat. For most consumer external drives, the answer depends on where the ventilation slots are — and every model differs.
Read the drive before sticking anything
Turn the drive over and locate vent openings, seam gaps, and rubber feet. On many 2.5-inch USB drives, the top surface is solid plastic with no vents — an ideal label location. On larger 3.5-inch desktop drives, vents often run along the sides or rear panel. We never place labels over vent openings.
Maintaining a Wallet Register When Contents Change Monthly
A wallet audit produces a snapshot — accurate on the day of the visit. But wallets are living containers. Receipts arrive, contracts expire, certificates get moved to the safe. Without a simple update habit, the register drifts out of sync within months.
Update on entry, not on schedule
We advise clients to update the register when they add or remove something — not during a monthly review they will skip. Keep a pencil clipped to the register page. When you file a new receipt batch, add one line: date, general category, approximate count. When you remove items for shredding, strike the line.
