WristKeep

Your collection is more than what you own. WristKeep helps you understand why each watch belongs. The watch you wear most is not always the one that means the most. Some pieces define your style. Others mark a milestone or serve a purpose no other watch can. Built specifically for watch collectors, WristKeep brings together your preferences, the role of each piece, and your real wear habits. Organize your collection into Watch Boxes, keep detailed profiles with images and notes, and see how the individual watches fit together. Scores give structure to your preferences across Attachment, Identity, Execution, Wearability, Distinctiveness, and Staying. Collection Roles define what each piece brings to the collection—from Signature and Emotion to Utility, Statement, Reference, Dress, Milestone, and Horology. Wear History shows what actually reaches your wrist. Log wear and follow the patterns that memory alone can miss. Rotation Intelligence reveals which watches are gaining wrist time, which are cooling off, and how your rotation is changing. Compare brings preference, actual wear, and collection fit together to help you understand how watches compete, complement one another, and earn their place. WristKeep Readiness shows when you’ve entered enough information for the app’s deeper collection insights to become meaningful. WristKeep is built to help collectors see their collection more clearly—not just as a list of watches, but as a reflection of taste, habits, purpose, and attachment.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WristKeep at none against Timeboxd's 1. WristKeep also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
