What's New in Need a List

October 17, 2026
• Already own it? When you add an item, Need a List now warns you if something with the same name or barcode is already in your catalog, in any collection. • Sort by your own fields: order a collection by Year, Brand, Condition, or any custom field you've set up. Numbers and dates sort the way you'd expect, and each card shows the value. • Safer deletes: removing a collection, an item, or a document now asks first and tells you exactly what will go. • Small fixes and polish.
