About

PopShelf

Features
Read full description

Every figure you own, one shelf in your pocket. PopShelf catalogs your figure collection the way a collector thinks: which line, which series, which number, whether it is still in box, what you paid, and what it is worth to you. Add a figure in seconds and the shelf does the counting. What you get: - A catalog built for figures: name, line, series or wave, number, variant or exclusive note, and a photo for every figure. - In-box vs out-of-box status you tap to set: in box, loose with the box kept, or loose with no box. The shelf shows how much of your collection is still sealed. - Paid vs value notes: log what you paid and what each figure is worth to you. PopShelf shows the gain or loss per figure, shelf totals, and your worth by line. Your own numbers, never scraped market prices. - Line completion stats: tell PopShelf how many figures a series holds and watch the completion bars fill. Duplicates fill one slot, so the math stays honest, and complete series get their badge. - A grail list with priorities from grail to someday and your budgets, totalled so you know what the hunt would cost. Found one? One tap moves it onto the shelf. - A shelf photo gallery: snap the whole display every time you rearrange it, with captions and dates. The gallery becomes the story of your shelf. - A growth chart of your collection over time and a top-of-the-shelf board of your most valuable figures. - A shareable Shelf Report PDF and a spreadsheet-ready CSV of every figure (Lifetime). - Syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud. - Private by design: no account, no ads, no tracking, and a Delete All My Data control. Free and Lifetime: PopShelf is free for up to 20 figures, with everything on the figure itself: status, photos, money notes, completion stats, grails, and the gallery. A single one-time purchase, the Lifetime unlock ($9.99 USD), opens unlimited figures and the report exports, for good. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and it never renews. PopShelf is an independent app for cataloging a collection you already own. It works with any figure line you collect: designer vinyl, blind boxes, minifigures, statues, and more.
