PAY ONCE, OWN FOREVER. NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTIONS GameVault is the easiest way to catalog and organize your physical video game collection. Whether you collect for PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Sega, or PC, GameVault keeps your entire library in one place, synced across all your devices with iCloud. SCAN, SEARCH, OR ADD MANUALLY Add games to your collection in seconds. Scan a barcode with your camera and GameVault automatically looks up the title, platform, publisher, and cover art. Search an online database of hundreds of thousands of games to find any title. Or add games manually with full control over every detail. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Every game in your collection tracks the details collectors care about: platform, publisher, physical condition (Sealed, Complete in Box, Boxed, or Loose), purchase price, cover art, barcode, description, and your own personal notes. Snap a photo of your game with your camera, pick one from your photo library, or search for official box art right from the editor. MARKET VALUE See what your games are worth. GameVault updates marketplace prices for every game, matched to the condition of your copy, and shows the total value of your collection next to what you spent. Prices are converted to your currency. AUTOMATIC BOX ART AND DETAILS Games without a cover get official box art automatically, and missing descriptions and publishers are filled in for you, including after every import. COLLECTION AND WISHLIST Keep your owned games and your wishlist separate with a simple tap. Switch between Collection and Wishlist views instantly to see what you have and what you still need. FILTER AND SORT YOUR WAY Find any game fast. Sort by title, date added, or platform. Filter by platform family, individual platform, or condition. Platform filters are organized by family so you can drill down to exactly what you are looking for. COLLECTION STATISTICS See your collection at a glance with charts and insights: - Total games count - Total spent and market value - Platform distribution - Top platforms - Collection growth over time - Recently added games IMPORT AND EXPORT Back up your entire collection to a compact backup file or move it to another device. Import a previous backup to restore your library instantly. Coming from another app? Import a CSV export, such as one from CLZ Games, and GameVault maps the columns for you. iCLOUD SYNC Your collection syncs automatically across all your devices with iCloud. Add a game on your iPhone and see it on your iPad. 30+ SUPPORTED PLATFORMS PlayStation 5, PS4, PS3, PS2, PS1, PSP, PS Vita, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Xbox, Nintendo Switch 2, Switch, Wii U, Wii, GameCube, N64, SNES, NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, DS, 3DS, Sega Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, PC, and more. SMART TITLE CLEANING Scanned barcodes often return messy titles full of platform names, edition labels, and retail junk. GameVault's title cleaner automatically strips all of that, leaving you with clean, readable game titles.
