About

Vitrio

Features
Read full description

Vitrio is a catalog for the things you collect — records, LEGO sets, whisky, retro games, board games, and anything else you decide to add. Scan a record or a bottle and Vitrio fills in the title, artist, year and cover art. Everything else you add by name — once, and never again. WHAT IT DOES • Scan barcodes — records and bottles fill themselves in from free, open catalogs • Search by name when a barcode is missing, worn, or simply not indexed • "You already have this" — a duplicate warning before you buy a second copy • Wishlist for the pieces you want but don't own yet • Track what each piece is worth and watch the total move over time • Insurance-ready PDF report with photos, purchase details and serial numbers • CSV export of every field — free forever, no lock-in MAKE IT YOURS Five catalogs are built in. If you collect coins, stamps, watches or comics, add your own category with its own name and icon — it behaves exactly like the built-in ones. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up. Your collection lives in your own private iCloud and syncs between your devices — nowhere else. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. And if you ever want to leave, the CSV export is complete and free. WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Scan in a basement record shop with no bars. Vitrio saves what it has and finishes the lookup by itself once you are back online. HONEST ABOUT VALUE Values are estimates you record and adjust yourself — useful for insurance and for seeing how a collection moves. They are not a professional appraisal, and Vitrio never pretends otherwise. FREE AND PRO Free: up to 100 items, every feature above, CSV export included. Vitrio Pro: unlimited items and the insurance PDF report. Note: LEGO set lookup uses Rebrickable and needs a free key you create yourself. It takes a minute, and Vitrio shows you where.
