BrickStore is a BrickLink offline management tool. It is multi-platform (desktop and mobile), multilingual (currently English, German, Spanish, Swedish and French), fast and stable. Visit https://www.brickstore.dev/ for more information. Please be aware that this mobile version of BrickStore has a lot of limitations compared to the desktop version. Most of them stem from the reduced screen size (it does work on phones and tablets), but also from the fact that developing and testing the mobile UI is very time consuming. Some things you can do with BrickStore much more efficiently than with any web based interface: - Browse and search the BrickLink catalog using a live, as-you-type filter. It is using all the cores in your machine to be as fast as possible. - Easily create XML files for Mass-Upload and Mass-Update either by parting out sets or by adding individual parts (or both). - Download and view any order by order number. - Download and view your whole store inventory. An easy way to use this for repricing, is to use the BrickLink Mass-Upload functionality. - Price your items based on the latest price guide information. - Create XML data for the BrickLink inventory upload. - If you load files which contain items with obsolete item ids you can fix them using the BrickLink catalog change-log. - Unlimited undo/redo support.
