Photograph your shelf and Rewind identifies the tapes and discs in the picture. Every title it recognizes lands in your collection. Photograph a shelf in a store instead and each title gets a verdict, yes, maybe, or no, with a written reason. Titles you already own and titles on your want list are marked in the results. The app reads the spine or the cover, not a barcode. SCAN YOUR SHELF 1. Take up to three photos of spines, covers, or stacks. 2. Rewind matches what it reads against a catalog of over 960k releases. 3. Matched titles are added to your collection at once. Titles you already own are skipped. 4. Titles it could not match show the text it read. Pick the right title, or skip it. 5. Undo any add from the receipt. YOUR COLLECTION Each copy records the label, the format, the year, and the catalog number. Beyond the scanner, add copies by search or by import: a Letterboxd export, or a CSV from Libib, CLZ Movies, My Movies, iCollect, IMDb, or a plain spreadsheet. Mark titles watched, rate them, and keep a watch history. Export the whole collection to CSV from Settings. Your collection and want list are stored on the phone and work without a connection. KNOW WHERE TO HUNT Rewind lists more than 32,000 stores across the US. Save the ones you visit. Pick your stops and Rewind orders them nearest-first and opens the route in Google Maps. Events near you are listed with dates, and with distance once you allow location. OVER 750,000 RELEASES The catalog covers VHS, LaserDisc, DVD, Blu-ray, 4K, and seven other formats. Title pages show the poster, description, release year, genres, and the labels that released it. STAFF PICKS EVERY MONDAY A new set of titles arrives each Monday, each with a note on why it is worth chasing. One tap adds a pick to your want list. Guides collect titles around a label, an era, or one idea. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Open the app and scan. Sign in if you want your collection, want list, and ratings on every device and on the web. Your collection, search, import, sync, the weekly picks, and store scans stay free. Shelf scans into your collection start with 5 free, then 3 each month. One scan covers up to three photos. Special Edition removes the shelf-scan limit and adds picks that fit your taste, a taste-matched verdict on every scan, and custom poster art. It is a subscription through your Apple ID and renews until you cancel. Subscribing supports Rewind and what comes next.
