More than die-cast cars: organize books, figures, cards, and anything with a barcode. Scan to add items quickly, then manage wishlists, catalogs, and collection stats in one place. My Collection Tracker is a record-keeping app for diecast and model car collectors. Scanning, wishlists, series catalogs, stats and share cards — so the few hundred cars on your shelf stay ordered, visible and findable. ■ Scan for an instant answer Standing in the store, scan the product barcode and get the answer on the spot: already collected, on your wishlist, or still missing from your catalog. No more scrolling your camera roll to compare. ■ Turn a collection into a catalog Over 460 models across five series are built in and matched against what you own, so your progress and the gaps are worked out for you. Current, upcoming and retired releases display separately, with a heads-up when a model is about to be replaced. ■ New arrivals calendar How many new models are out this month, and which of them relate to your collection — one row tells you. A single reminder before the release weekend, in time to plan around it. ■ Note down what you want Wishlist entries can carry a product barcode, so scanning one in a store is recognized as something you already wanted. Priority, budget and brand stay with it. ■ See what you've built Totals, estimated value, spending trends and brand breakdown on one page. Weekly challenges and collector levels make keeping things tidy worth the effort. ■ Share it properly Turn a single model — or your whole catalog progress — into a share card in one tap. ■ Kept safely Your data lives on your device. Export backups and a trash bin you can restore from mean nothing important disappears. Not just cars — anything with a barcode can be recorded. Available in English, 繁體中文, 日本語 and 한국어.

BrickLoft is the local-first way to organize your LEGO® collection — built for people who actually build, display, and live with their bricks (and for parents keeping track of each kid's sets). Most trackers stop at what a set is worth. BrickLoft also tells you something you need every day: where it is. Browse your whole collection by physical location — "Office shelf B," "Attic bin 3," "Displayed — living room" — and find any set in seconds. ORGANIZE BY LOCATION - See every set and loose minifig grouped by where it physically lives - Tag shelves, bins, and display spots, then browse your collection like a map - Find what you're looking for without digging through boxes ADD SETS IN SECONDS - Scan a barcode or type a set number — details fill in automatically - Search the bundled offline catalog by name (tens of thousands of official sets) - Add loose and custom minifigs, too - Can't find a set? Add it by hand with its number and name - The catalog updates itself about once a week when you're online, so new sets show up without an app update TRACK WHAT MATTERS - Build state: sealed, built, disassembled, or in storage - Condition, instructions, box, purchase date and price - A per-set minifig checklist so you know what's present and what's missing - Add your own photos of built and displayed sets - Open the official building instructions for a set in one tap EXPLORE AND BUILD - Browse every LEGO® theme and see how many of its sets you own - Add any set straight from its theme - A build queue of your sealed and taken-apart sets, with a "Pick one for me" button KEEP A WISHLIST - Mark sets as Wanted and see which have retired, from Brickset data in the app - Get retirement news when a set on your wishlist has just retired - Share your wishlist with family as a gift list - A built-in duplicate check warns you if you already own a set — across every collection (perfect before buying a gift) A COLLECTION FOR EVERYONE - Create multiple collections — one per family member, theme, or room - Move sets and minifigs between collections anytime - See each collection as a box-art grid or a list - Make it yours with an accent color and a light, dark, or system theme SEE THE BIG PICTURE - Stats for sets owned, total pieces, minifigs, top themes, and build state, plus highlights and milestones - Record what you paid and what you think a set is worth, with an honest gain/loss view - See each set's retail price (US, UK, Canada or euro), plus an approximate BrickLink resale value (USD) - Print an insurance inventory (PDF) of every set you own: condition, location, what you paid and what each is worth, with totals YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS - Works offline, with no account, ever — nothing about your collection is uploaded or synced. Set pictures and catalog updates download when you're online - Full backup and restore, including photos — your collection lives on your device and in the backup you choose - A gentle reminder to back up, with the date of your last backup - Import from a spreadsheet or a BrickLink wanted list, and export to CSV, Rebrickable set lists, or BrickLink want lists anytime - Optional analytics with a one-tap off switch in Settings Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Russian, and Polish. No subscriptions. No social feed. No marketplace. Just a fast, private, beautifully simple place to organize the bricks you love. Download BrickLoft and finally know where everything is. — LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group, which does not sponsor, authorize, or endorse this app. BrickLoft is an independent app. Set data is sourced from Rebrickable; retail prices, retirement data and estimated market values are from Brickset (market values via the BrickLink Price Guide).
