Keptcase is for people who still buy the disc, the record, the hardback and the cartridge and want it all catalogued properly, valued honestly and beautiful to scroll. Point your camera at a barcode and the item lands on your shelf with its cover, year, cast and studio filled in. Batch mode keeps the scanner open for a haul. THE FEAR METER Press Start before a horror film and your Apple Watch counts your heart. At the credits Keptcase scores the night against your own resting rate: a fear level from 0 to 100, Calm to Terrified, with your peak and its minute, the curve across the film, and a card to share. Your readings never leave your iPhone. ON YOUR APPLE WATCH Install Keptcase from the Watch app on your iPhone and start the Fear Meter from your wrist: your unwatched horror shelf on the face, Start, Pause and Finish at a tap, the night on your Lock Screen. Any Apple Watch works through Health without it, and so does a ring, band or strap whose app writes heart rate to Health. FOUR SHELVES, ONE APP Movies and TV, music, books and comics, and games each get their own shelf with the details that matter to it: directors and studios, artists and labels, authors and publishers, platforms and regions. One subscription covers them all. KNOW WHAT IT'S WORTH Live market values on every shelf, with no setup. See what you paid, what it's worth now, and the gain, then export a dated PDF inventory for insurance. EVERY EDITION, COUNTED SEPARATELY Own a film on VHS, DVD and 4K? Keptcase folds them into one card while keeping each copy's own condition, value and history. Box sets hold their contents. Filter by boutique label or studio. THE WHOLE RUN, AND THE GAPS Series cards lay out a run in order: the numbers you own, the ones on your wishlist, the gaps named. A show's page counts its seasons and how far you've watched. IN THE SHOP, WONDERING IF YOU OWN IT? Scan any barcode, type the title, or photograph the shelf, and yours answers on the spot: on your shelf, owned but not this release, or not on your shelf, with what it goes for online. COMICS, ON THEIR OWN RACK Single issues, trades, omnibuses and graded slabs, with publisher and writer, counted and valued apart from your books. GO DEEPER ON EVERY TITLE Trailers, full cast and More Like This for films; seasons and episodes for TV; platform details for games; tracklists for albums; blurbs for books. Search by actor. NEVER BUY A DUPLICATE AGAIN Keep a wishlist, publish a read-only web page of your shelf and send the link before a birthday. Follow other collectors' shelves. A DIARY FOR WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WATCH Log every watch, listen, read and play with a rating and a note. A monthly recap, a year-in-review card, stats by decade, genre and format, and collector badges. CAN'T DECIDE? ASK THE SHELF Tonight's Pick draws from what you own, by mood and genre. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, ask your shelf in plain language and it answers from your own collection, entirely on device. BRING YOUR COLLECTION WITH YOU Import a CSV from whatever you use now, or a Letterboxd export. Re-importing is safe. Optional cloud backup restores your shelf, and every Fear Meter night, onto a new phone. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Your collection lives on your iPhone. Cloud backup is optional and off until you turn it on; signing in is Sign in with Apple. No tracking, no ads, nothing sold, ever. TRY IT FOR 7 DAYS Then $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, one price for every shelf. If your subscription ends your collection stays on your phone to browse and export; adding, scanning, values, backup and the rest need an active subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://keptcase.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://keptcase.app/privacy Made by a physical media collector, for collectors.

The call

The clearest difference is rating: CLZ Movies collection database at 4.8 against Keptcase's 4.3. CLZ Movies collection database also leads on ratings volume (3.9K vs 22) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Keptcase's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
