Check your catalog
During supported capture, see whether the item may already be in the selected collection before saving another record.
Collection tracker app
Catalog and organize what you collect.
Keep the items you own, the details that matter, and the records that belong with them in one private collection tracker. Add things your way, organize each collection to fit what is in it, and find them again when you need them.
Existing-item awareness
Know before you add another.
Catalist can surface a potential match from the selected collection during supported capture. Compare what you saved before deciding whether it is the same thing, a different version, or another copy you want to keep.
Compare the details
Use identifiers, edition or release information, photos, notes, and other saved details to understand what you already own.
You make the call
Catalist can surface a potential match. You decide whether it is the same item, a different version, or another copy you want to keep.
Useful item records
Keep more than a name and a photo.
Keep the details that help you recognize the item, understand what you own, and use the record later.
Photos
Add multiple photos and choose the image that best represents the item.
Attachments
Keep private PDFs or JPEG, PNG, and WebP images such as receipts, manuals, screenshots, and warranty documents with the item they describe.
Condition & ownership details
Record condition, acquisition details, purchase information, seller or source, and where the item is kept.
Recorded value
Save a value with its currency, date, and basis so the number still has context later.
Identifiers
Keep model numbers, serial numbers, catalog numbers, and other identifying information where they apply.
Notes & links
Save private notes and labeled links to references, product pages, support information, or anything else worth keeping.
Custom details
Add your own labeled details when the information you care about does not fit the standard item fields.
Made for physical collections
Catalog what you collect.
Use Catalist for books, music, movies, games, cameras, watches, memorabilia, tools, household items, hobby supplies, and collections that do not fit neatly into a specialist app.
Books & physical media
Books, vinyl, CDs, cassettes, movies, special editions, box sets, and the physical media you want to keep track of.
Games & toys
Board games, LEGO sets, puzzles, action figures, model kits, die-cast cars, dolls, plush, and other collections built for shelves and display cases.
Cameras, watches & technology
Cameras, lenses, watches, keyboards, computers, handhelds, consoles, phones, vintage electronics, and other technology collections.
Art, memorabilia & valuables
Artwork, posters, autographs, sports memorabilia, coins, stamps, pins, jewelry, antiques, and personal valuables.
Hobbies that do not fit a database
Musical instruments, plants, rocks, shells, pens, maps, vintage objects, hobby supplies, or whatever else became a collection because you kept finding another one.
Flexible organization
Use categories that make sense to you.
A book collection does not need to be organized like a camera collection or a shelf of memorabilia. Create, rename, reorder, and filter with categories that fit each collection instead of forcing everything into the same structure.

Flexible capture
Start with the fastest way to add it.
Scan, start with a photo, search supported sources, paste a supported link, use an identifier, or add the item manually. A database match can help, but it is never required to keep the item.
Scan one or scan multiple
Use supported barcodes and identifiers for one item or work through several in the same capture session.
Start with a photo
Take or choose a photo when the object itself is the best place to begin.
Search or use a link
Look up supported items by what you know or paste a supported source link when you already have one.
Add anything manually
Catalog the item yourself when lookup is unavailable, incomplete, or simply not useful.
Cross-collection organization
One item can span many collections.
Add an existing item to another collection without recreating its record. When your organization changes, select items together to update categories, move them, or add them elsewhere without editing every record one by one.
Search and retrieval
Find what you cataloged when you need it.
Search within a collection or use Inventory for a broader view. Filter by collection or category, sort your items, browse what you added recently, and open the full record when you need the details behind it.
Your catalog stays private by default—not a public profile, marketplace listing, or social feed.
Simple pricing
Start free. Go Pro when you need more room.

Questions, answered
The practical details.
What to know about using Catalist as a collection tracker app.
What is a collection tracker app?
A collection tracker app gives you a searchable record of the things you collect and the information you want to keep with them. Catalist combines item records, photos, supported attachments, categories, ownership details, values, notes, links, and flexible organization in one private app.
What kinds of collections can I catalog?
Catalist can be used for books, music, movies, games, collectibles, cameras, watches, tools, household items, hobby supplies, and custom collections you create yourself.
How can I add an item?
You can scan supported items, scan multiple items, start with a photo, search supported sources, use supported links or identifiers, or enter the item manually.
What if Catalist cannot find my item?
Add it manually. Lookup can make cataloging faster, but an item does not need to exist in a supported database before you can keep it in Catalist.
Can Catalist tell me if I already have something?
During supported capture, Catalist can surface potential matches from items already in the selected collection. Compare the details and decide whether it is the same item, another version, or an additional copy.
Can I upload receipts, manuals, and PDFs?
Yes. You can attach private PDFs or JPEG, PNG, and WebP images—up to 10 attachments per item and 10 MB each. Catalist stores them with the item but does not extract or interpret their contents.
Can I add my own details to an item?
Yes. In addition to Catalist’s built-in item and ownership details, you can add your own labeled details for information that matters to your collection.
Can the same item belong to more than one collection?
Yes. An item can be added to another collection without recreating its item record.
Can I record what something is worth?
Yes. You can record a value along with its currency, date, and value basis for your own reference. Catalist does not automatically appraise every item or provide universal live market pricing.
Are my collections public?
No. Catalist is private by default.
Keep your collection organized and useful.
Catalog what you own, keep the details and attachments that belong with it, and make the record easy to find when you need it.
