Know what you own. Know what it's worth. Photograph an item. AI reads the marks that matter — the style code inside the tongue, the reference number on the caseback, the mint mark, the pressing details in the dead wax — and fills in the record. Correct anything it got wrong; it learns the shape of your collection, not the other way round. SIXTEEN KINDS OF COLLECTION Whisky and spirits. Wine. Watches. Sneakers. Coins. Vinyl. Comics. Video games. Building sets. Trading cards. Stamps. Memorabilia. Jewelry. Clothing. A catch-all for anything else. And a home inventory mode for everything in the house that matters to an insurer. Each one asks for the fields that actually matter to it — a watch wants its reference and movement, a coin wants its grade and mint — instead of forcing everything through the same generic form. VALUES YOU CAN ACTUALLY TRUST Ask what something is worth and you get an estimate with comparable sales, a confidence level, and the date it was made. Estimates are never quietly overwritten — the history is kept, and an old number is labelled stale rather than passed off as current. Coins are floored at melt value. Nothing is ever shown as a bare number with no provenance, because a number with no provenance is worse than no number. THE CABINET One view of everything: what the collection is worth, how it's distributed, and which pieces carry the value. Items still awaiting a valuation are counted honestly rather than folded into the total. BUILT FOR INSURANCE Export a schedule your insurer will accept — replacement cost, serial numbers, photographs, and per-item notes, as a PDF. Flag the pieces that need to go on the policy. Find out what you had before you need to prove it. HOME INVENTORY GOES FURTHER Home inventory drops market pricing entirely in favour of owner-declared replacement cost, because that's the number that settles a claim. YOUR DATA, WITHOUT THE LOCK-IN Everything lives on your device first and works with no signal at all. Full JSON backup, CSV export and a printable inventory PDF are free on every tier — not a paid upgrade, not a retention lever. PLANS Free covers one collection, 25 items, and 13 AI credits — enough to identify three items and price one — so you can see exactly what it does before paying. Every paid plan then gives you unlimited collections, unlimited items, cloud backup and multi-device sync, the insurance PDF schedule, and value history over time. Plans differ only in how many AI credits you get each month: Collector 150, Curator 350, Archivist 900. An identification costs 1 credit; pricing an item costs 10, because a valuation runs a live web search for a minute or more. Credits work on both, so you decide what to spend them on. PRIVACY No ads. No tracking. Nothing sold, ever. Photos and item details are sent to Anthropic's Claude only when you use an AI feature, and only after you've agreed to it — you're asked before the first one, and you can decline and catalog everything by hand. Anthropic does not use this data to train its models. Delete your account from Settings and everything on our servers goes with it. Valuations are research, not appraisals. They are estimates generated from public sale data and are not a substitute for a professional appraisal, an insurance settlement, or advice from a qualified expert.
