Recognize the particular piece
Save your own photos and notes about edition, color, condition or the accessories stored with it.
Collectors / Keep the collection close
Carefully collected.
Easily found.
A collection is more than the things on display. Give boxed records, models, keepsakes and accessories a searchable home in your inventory.
A familiar moment
You know exactly which record you want to play. Which storage box is it in?
The more carefully you store a collection, the less of it you see every day. Photos and descriptions help you reconnect each piece with the box or shelf where it belongs.
Useful in the everyday
A little structure.
A clearer place to start.
Find what isn’t on display
Record the box and shelf location for stored pieces, then search the details you saved.
Keep a portable record
Export a spreadsheet for a readable list, and a backup with photos for restoring your inventory.
Put it into practice
Start small.
Make it useful.
A short list that matches the physical shelf is a good place to begin.
Start with one shelf or box
Give it a recognizable name and record its physical location.
Record the distinguishing details
Add photos and descriptive names. Verify edition and condition information yourself.
Try retrieving a favorite
Search for a saved piece, check its box and location, then update the record if you move it.

Inside the working app
Keep a photo and its storage information together in the actual item view.
The real app screen shown here uses existing camping inventory. The same inventory tools can record your own belongings and storage.
Keep saved details current when things move. Photo-assisted suggestions need review; a QR label looks up what you recorded.
A few practical details
Before you
get started.
What should I include in a collectible’s notes?
Record the details you can verify and will want to search later, such as edition, identifying marks, condition and included accessories.
Is an AI value estimate an appraisal?
Treat any suggested details or estimates as something to review. They are not an independent appraisal of a collectible’s value.
Does a spreadsheet include my photo files?
The spreadsheet is a readable list. Use a full inventory backup with photos when you want a restorable copy.
